I want to thank LFC (and others) or inspiring me to write an article for the upcoming issue of RIFLE LOONY NEWS, appearing on the 15th of next month. Decided to discuss the difference between designing rifles in the early years of self-contained cartridges, and more recently--as well as detail several details of the Ruger No. 1 that differ vastly from the Farquharson action Bill Ruger supposedly "copied."
While the No. 1 is styled to resembled the Farquharson, the internal mechanics are different in several ways--and NOT designed to make the No. 1 "cheap to manufacture."
myself i look forward to your next issue Mule Deer , i also will enjoy learning more about Ruger #1`s and Mr. Bill Ruger , i feel Bill Ruger did the blue collar workingman a great justice by inventing and manufacturing this great rifle the Ruger #1 for a workingman`s price so that he could afford to buy a Ruger #1 to own , too hunt with , shoot or collect . that to me is the American way ! Thank You much ,Pete53
