There were 100 of the ASSRA "Actions Only" made up, so that tells you how rare they are. I was not aware that the ASSRA actions were casehardened; I thought they may have been "in the white", but, I do not recall ever seeing one. They were only offered to ASSRA members, so many probably got made up into rifles. Not many show up still in the original box and not used. What were some of the other early No.1 rifles?
Actions Only were available, but not to the Public in a general way.
I just came across some paperwork that showed No.1 serial# 1780 as an "action only" being shipped by Ruger to Pete Brown(Sports Afield) in 1970. Wonder what ever happened to it?? Was it made up into a rifle or destroyed in testing?? I bought the Pete Brown Ruger Collection in 1991; it was not there at that time.
