Ruger #1 in 7.62x39, info wanted. - 11/21/11
Gentlemen,
The other day I was aimlessly looking at a local shop for used revolvers and I spotted a stainless #1 on the rack. I have been interested in getting one for some time now but didn't really even know what caliber I wanted, I just like the looks of them and being a lefty single shot guns hold an extra appeal. At any rate, I knew that Ruger didnt make a lot of SS #1s so I picked it up to see what caliber it was.
I had to read the making two times before it sunk in.
And as soon as it did my CC leapt out and I bought it. Or, rather as the woman was with me I put it on layaway to spare the the double displeasure of watching me buy a $800 rifle on a whim and of having to sit there while I did the paperwork.
At any rate, I am a huge fan of the x39 caliber and never even dreamed Ruger had chambered the #1 in it. I went home and hunted around but other then finding two old "for sale" adds no other info has come up.
I am mainly looking to see if anyone can tell me what the bore is (.308 or .310 or whatever) and when and what distributor it was made for.
Thanks
