A surprisingly reasonable price for the amount of work done to this rifle. Wish I had some extra pocket money laying around...

I thought the same thing, Bob. Expensive but reasonable for the amount of work done and the quality of the rifle and stock.

The .22 RF conversion was done by the late Jack Korzinek, as far as I know Jack was the only 'smith doing this conversion. Jack was a graduate of the gunsmithing school in Trinidad Colorado and had a shop in northern New Jersey prior to moving to Pennsylvania. He was well respected and had quite a following amoung small bore shooters in the area, I visited with him often in his shop in NJ. His customers all called him "Doc" because he always wore a white shop coat, he was a very talented 'smith and shared several of his tricks of the trade with me.

Men like him were treasures, too soon gone from us.

The late Jack Korzinek of Canton, PA was the one and only 'smith that I am aware of the was doing RF conversions on Ruger #1 & #3. You don't often see them come up for sale though he did many during his career.
