A couple years ago I "came by" a 7 Rem Mag barrel for a No.1 that is hexagon .Mr. Ruger had the custom shop build the rifle for one of his friends .Then the friend decided it needed to be in a larger caliber and brought it to my 'smith .He had never even fired it .
The barrel was removed and sent to Montana where they used it as a pattern to make a hexagon barrel in 300 win . My 'smith sold the barrel to me , knowing I like No Ones to shoot , not collect .
I bought a "donor" rifle in 270 wby intending to put the purty barrel on it . Dies came with the rifle and ---------- of course - like all intended donors - the SOB shot way to good to knock in the head .
So-------- I still have the purty barrel .Is a hex barreled No.1 rare ?
