DrDeath;
A late shooting mentor of mine had about a dozen early No. 1's, many with very nicely figured butt stocks. We weren't so digital back then in those days and I never thought to take photos of them somehow.

For a number of years this was my saddle gun when I was hunting, an '82 vintage in .300 Win Mag. I installed a Moyer's trigger in it, added a Gentry barrel band and then made up a fore end the way I thought it should look and feel.

It served me faithfully for many years, but as we got out of horses a couple years ago I didn't take it out much anymore. When a friend of our neighbor's offered me a fair price for it I sold it to help offset the cost of our eldest daughter's electric drum kit.

Anyway, someday I might play with another No. 1 as I found a lot to like about them.

Thanks for the thread and thanks to those who have posted photos already or still might.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

Regards,
Dwayne
