No. 1 tang length differences?

Post by gewehrfreund »

Is anyone aware of a change in tang length for the Number One at some point?
I have a very nice XXX factory stock, unaltered, that comes up about 1/16"-1/8" short in the tang inletting when I try to put it on any of my other Number Ones.
This stock came on a rifle I bought some time back, but I neglected to note the serial number, etc. :oops: but it fit that rifle as it should. I've never had this problem in 40+ years of messing around with these rifles; very confusing and frustrating.

The answer is in the Ruger No. 1 book by Clayton
