Maybe a scaled down model of the same quality. I'd love to have a No.1 in .22lr. An honest man's pillow, is his peace of mind... JM

I think he used the Ruger #3, if I recall the model number correctly. I agree, I think there would be a market for a Ruger single shot in .22 LR, especially if it were to scale and priced fairly. Paul Stupidity has its way, while its cousin, evil, runs rampant.

Paul, Fairly or not. I know I'd buy one. I don't think that Ruger #1 has been priced fairly for some time. But B.T.A.I.M., They are great rifles and the price is not exhorbantant. Too bad Browning/Winchester can't offer a regular rifle instead of just the limited edition customs. I always get mad at myself every time I sell one. Sooner or later, I want it back. I have owned three #1s in 6mm Rem. Now they don't make it anymore and I have't seen one for sale since Hector was a pup! But the good news is that I managed a 1-B in .257 Robts. before they managed to evaporate. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> So that is some consolation....

It had been rebarreled to .22 LR and the frame had been scalloped. I asked the Ruger folks about a 3/4 sized No.1 in standard 1A configuration for the rimfires and small bore cartridges at a SHOT show some years back, they looked at me like I was crazy. About the size of the little Frasers I see from time to time, it would go maybe 6 lbs with a standard LOP (not the short LOP on some of their "compact" rifles). Slim and trim, it could be a small bore shooter's dream. The No.1 is way overbuilt for even larger cartridges. IIRC, the action was sized for the dangerous game cartridges. JB

He was not the cheapest person I considered, but I doubt if any one knows # 1 's , or did/does better then he does. 1st class work. The "brochure" I have from him , shows he converted #1, & #3 to rim fire. He also did bolt guns. Don't know if he is still in business. Gene

I don't know what the production years were, but the #1AB was a B with a light 22" sporter barrel. The A has the sights I don't like and the A. Henry forend, while the B is clean, but has a larger barrel than I'd want in small calibers. I don't know why Ruger doesn't offer this model again.

I have a 1B in 22 Hornet that has been accurized that I like very much. It's the only number 1 I have. But, I got a whole flock of 22 Rifles. I always need another one..

I tried to teach the proper method of timing them for rimfire (allows the c/f pin to properly reach the rim). Problem is bean counters/manufacturing cost almost the same. Ruger is in the same situation with rimfire Vs. bigbore handguns. Trying to hold the line on prices, the quality in #1 is falling off every production run, bbls are held in with thread sealant (locktite ?). I do not rebarrel them with out recutting & squaring the thread in receiver. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" /> "Make chips, Not sparks"
