Re: Picked up my first non-prefix rifle yesterday
Unfortunately, the rings that came with it are NOT the large hole style; they have standard slot ring half screws and the small hole base screw. I did find a pic of the large hole rings in Clayton's book to compare to my rings. By the way, I found a nice copy of the book, number 199 of a signed limi...

Re: Picked up my first non-prefix rifle yesterday
According to Rowdy's records, there are 9 rifles in this configuration and caliber combo known; this added one to his list. Also, I wrote to Ruger and just got the Letter of Authenticity back today. The rifle was manufactured and shipped in November 1967, so it is a first year rifle. I am quite plea...

Re: Picked up my first non-prefix rifle yesterday
Yes, please do PM Rowdy's info as I would love to see what he knows about the serial number.
I sent to Ruger for a Letter of Authenticity and will share that info with you when I get it.
This rifle has provided a great deal of enjoyment and education for me.

Re: Picked up my first non-prefix rifle yesterday
Not the best pics, but my phone doesn't take a very sharp photo. Could be a loose nut behind the buttplate. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/924/AfjtVb.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/923/oNPKwv.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/923/bQJ8G7.jpg https://i...

Re: Picked up my first non-prefix rifle yesterday
Great info, thanks! I was hoping you'd chime in; I've read your posts (and become quite envious of your gun room) and learned a great deal. I was very lucky to find this rifle, especially since the AHS configuration is my favorite. I was planning on writing Ruger, now I will definitely make that hap...

WANTED : Vertical split Ruger scope rings for early No. 1
I have a 1967 No. 1 which is currently wearing horizontal split Ruger rings, and I'd like to replace these with a period correct set of vertical split rings.
Please PM if you have a set for sale, or if you know of a set.
Thanks.

Thanks, Lee! I appreciate your information, and I will post a wanted ad for the rings.
The collection is growing, slowly but surely. I have my eye on another No. 1 already...
