That is the first time in the 40 year history of the production of the No.1 that a production run with that barrel weight and length has been made. It is found with both the beavertail forearm and the Alex Henry style forearm. With the AH forearm, a very few were stocked with Circassian walnut. It has been mentioned above in the thread; just wanted to get another vote in for it!!


I must concur on this one!! El Numero Uno, has anyone been able to narrow down just how many were stocked with Circassian walnut? I bought two of them just because I LOVE how they feel, handle and point! Can't beat the looks of the Circassian either...just wondering about numbers though.
