Ruger No 1 Headed to Alabama

[WSMNUT]

There’s those certain rifles that you’re glad your finished but hate to see them leave.
Well this is definitely one of them.
Ruger No 1 Chambered in 6-BR for @DJSBRS
Hawk Hill 1-8” HV Barrel we turned down to better fit the stock
Bugholes Diamond Fluted it
@RiflePainter Cerakoted the flutes and beauty rings behind the brake and then high polished it
Jard Trigger
Glued and screwed Kelbly’s dovetail rail
And some of the prettiest pieces of wood on a No 1 that I’ve seen

Maybe DJ will let me hold on to this one for a little while before it has to head to Alabama

Dagum that's sexy

I'm drooling over the wood on that rifle! Best wood I've ever seen on a #1.

That rifle has been a long time in the making, from an idea to that special wood and all the detail work performed by several real craftsmen. The finished product is the most gorgeous Ruger No. 1 I have ever laid eyes on.

 

[Bill Norris]

Dang Bro, that thing is pretty no doubt. You not only make em shoot you make em sexy too. Has to be the best looking # 1 anywhere.

 

[Ranger188]

Maybe it will get "lost in the mail" lol
Did he want it broke in. Might take a year or two.

 

[RiflePainter]

Awesome work brother!!

Sometimes a rifle surpasses expectations or maybe the end product was the vision all along, whatever the case with this rifle that’s a top shelf #1, unique and a one of a kind, congrats to DJSBRS and good job Zack. I know how you like number #1s, remember what the Bible says about coveting.

 

[Eagle Six]

Excellent looking rifle, the wood is gorgeous. There is place in my heart for No.1's stemming way back to my first 25-06, I'm jealous!

I see what you were saying about how beautiful it is.
Amazing work all the way.
I need to think of something for @RiflePainter to do for me.
Hey brother how's that dremel tool? Lol

We had a ceremony for the Dremel. Buried it out back.

I laughed at the video..
Smokin!!!
I've been contemplating getting a Dremel for cutting tape edge after paint.
What model was that, so I get a better one. Lol

My first Dremel lasted almost 15 years. They’re made so cheap now I’m lucky if it lasts a year

Thanks Bill

DJ said he wouldn’t mind if I shot it a couple of times but I think he’s ready to get it back

Thanks Sean, I’m trying not to covet this one but it’s tough not to do so.

I can feel the vibes, ahahaha. Neat rifle!

Beautiful work! How was the forearm hanger/bedding system addressed? I've had several No. 1's and really never understood why Ruger did such a nice job on the action and the stock, only to botch the forearm hanger system.

Beautiful work! How was the forearm hanger/bedding system addressed?

Polished down to accept the larger barrel and then blued back to protect the metal.
It’s a pretty simple trick that works flawlessly to put the larger barrels on
I first tried it on my 6PPC No1. It also has an HV barrel on it. Then a few others I’ve gotten custom contours that are 1.250 for 5” and then taper to #5’s. I’ll turn down the breech end to 1.160 after I get them and it makes for a flat area to mount standard rings or rails on without having to buy Ruger No1 mounts and rings.
