404 in a Ruger #1
I am wanting to build a 404 on a #1 Tropical. I have a 405 tropical, but would prefer a 404. Will the 405 work for a conversion? What all would need to be done to convert it? I assume that a rebarrel job would take care of it all. Please correct me if I am wrong. Any input would be helpful. Also, any recommendations on gunsmiths familiar with No.1's would help.
