I'm considering re-barreling a #1 and am curious of any gunsmiths who come highly recommended for Ruger work. It will be a 22 Hornet re-barreled to 17 Hornet.

I would go with Pac-Nor.They do Ruger 1's. I have one of their barrels on a Rem. 700.They did all the barreling work in house in about eight weeks.I'm pleased with it. http://pac-nor.com/services/

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

Thanks for that info. I'm sure there are certain 'smiths who work on #1's more frequently than others. Those are the ones I'd like to know about.

If your Number 1 is a A model I would sell it before re-barrelling as they are few and far between and command a premium price. If a B model then carry on, you will probably get a good price on the 22 Hornet take-off barrel if you decide to sell it later.

I believe even the "B" model in .22 Hornet commands a higher than normal price. There wasn't too many of those made. I have the "B" version and several friends keep upping their offers for that rifle. If it were mine, the OP's Hornet if in decent shape would be left alone. All I can say is mine is very accurate and Jack Rabbits die. Even nail a coyote now and then.  Paul B.
