Say fellas I like the look of this rifle and it has a beauty piece of walnut. What I would like to know is what caliber choices would I have if I wanted to rebarrel and rechamber this rifle? Can I use any caliber?
Thanks Greg

I'm having a couple of Ruger #1's rebarreled, so I have researched this a little.

I believe as long as you are in the same "extractor group", you can rebarrel in any caliber. I believe there are several different extractors, and you may have to swap to a different one of you choose to rechamber to something with a huge difference in case diameter.
