Posted By: Sako Ruger #1 serial number 48X (under 500) no prefex - 04/20/14
a friend of mine just bought a Ruger #1 with erial number 48x. I have heard that the first 500 or so Ruger number 1's were all hand fitted... is there anything else about them that are a little different...

it does have the serial number put on the block in electric pencil as well....

30-06 btw

any help would be appreciated.

All non-prefix No. 1s were essentially "hand-fitted", not just the first 500. If you ever get a chance to do a side by side comparison between an early No. 1 and one about 20 or more years younger, the differences will be obvious.
