since ya'll are interested in rare #1's, if you want to listen, I'll tell you a little story-one of the first things I found out about #1's was that I could not buy an action from Ruger, they only sold them as barrelled actions-about five years later I made a garage sale, some old single-shot nuts son, was selling off his collection-I bought seven rifles and 5 single shot actions that day for $700.00!! One of the actions was a case hardened #1 new in the box-in researching it I found out that Bill Ruger was president of the S S Rifle Assoc. for a few years-during this time he put out 100 non-barreled single shot actions first come first served, in hopes the members would make them into schutzen rifles-on the bottom of the action it was marked ASSA in big letters 1 of 100- the number of this action was 96-how rare is that?????and how much is it worth?? the action was 50.00!
