Anyone know a source for them? Ive got a nice piece of English that's going to go on this one but its going to be quite some time before its done and would like to be able to shoot it meanwhile.

Wstrnhntr,

Good luck! I finally bought a synthetic one from Midway. I have a nice piece of English for mine, too....just wanted to shoot a bit while waiting. I guess that's what I get for buying a barreled action.

Check with Treebone Carving, they may be able to help

I need the same info for a friend.....please keep me posted if ya find anything.

#1 stock sets do show up occasionally on the auction sites. There was one on Ebay yesterday.

I have a 1-V stock and forearm for a Number One. I build a lot of Ruger Number One rifles and usually restock them. Anyone interested?

If Matt doesn't buy that set I would be interested in it.

WH,

Yeah, I also made the mistake of buying a Ruger #1 barreled action at a significant discount and then spent the next several years trying to get a stock on it. After all the headache, letter writing and effort - should have bought a complete rifle!

Fajen finally provided and excellent semi-finished stock (full-length mannlicher - looks cool!) but that was years ago and they're out of that specific type of business now.

Since you've already got a stick of wood, getting it duplicated for a Ruger #1 ought not to be much of a problem, my sugestion is to contact "The Great American Gunstock Company". They've got a great web site explaining all sorts of options.

Cheers,

Gerry

Hmm, sounds to me like I need to learn how to make them.. I guess Ill start practicing on this old piece of american thats been lying around when the barreled action gets here..

Thanks for the input everyone.

I bought a Bell&Carlson synthetic about 5 yrs ago ( about $180 I think ). That might be your answer for now, I don't know if they still make them.

There is a company that specialises in accurizing the Ruger #1/3 actions by changing the forend attatchment or some such. Does anyone work out changes to ruger actions?????
