The reason I modified mine was at the time Ruger No 1's in my area were impossible to find and I lucked into this No 3. This rifle has a Ruger No 1 stock set and an added 1/4 rib with a band type front sight. The lever was also modified to make it easier to use with a pistol grip stock. It is very handy and shoots great. Do you have any close ups of that barrel band? I'm restocking a No.3 right now and that barrel band looks nice. How is it attached?

It is probably not what I would use today with all the nice barrel band swivels available. I can send you a photo if you want one but it is fairly common.

It's killed more deer than CWD LOL! Cat Last edited by catnthehat; 03/11/19. scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!

LOL! I'll have to take some, can't find any handy. Cat Last edited by catnthehat; 03/12/19. scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!
