Local pawn shop has a #1 that someone put on a very fat 223 barrel. Not sure what the original chambering was, but that barrel is supper fat. The barrel channel in the forearm was opened up by someone that knew what he was doing as the fit between metal and wood is actually good. They want 1200, but upon questioning, they would take 800. I have been eyeballing it, but adding in the cost of a new barrel and forearm, it would have to be quite a bit below 800. I am wondering what Ruger would charge to put it back to original order.
