The #3 was made to be an inexpensive utility gun, like a meat hunter or fur trapper would use. Most of the #3 stocks are straight grain walnut.
The #1s are more more expensive models with fancier stocks. Many #1 have Turkish walnut stocks.
99% of stocks for either gun are wood. I happen to own a set of after market simulated fancy wood, synthetic stocks for a #1. I thought the set unusual, so as a Ruger collector bought them at a show, cheap, for a duplicator pattern. Cabelas had a run made of #1As in .30-40 with high polish blue, and turkish walnut. Some of them had spectacular wood. I took a deer with mine. Eventually it went to a good home.

nice rifle!!!! i got two sportified 1898 Spr Armoy in 30-40 Krag. the one was given to me by my late grandpap (heirloom starting with my great grandpap, grandpap, dad and uncle. next stop is one of my sons). heirloom #2 was way rusty, so i decided to try Brownell's oxpho blue before after i've been thinking of a Weaver side mount because it doesn't have any sights on it and i'm think of a 1-5x or 4x scope.
