Guys, What is involved in replacing a quarter rib on a Ruger #1 (International)?? Are the ribs readily avalable?? I could not spot any at Brownells, and Ruger's website is of no great help... How are quarter ribs attached to a #1 - solder?? Does one need to reblue after replacement?? I gather, that it is the quarter rib that holds the integral scope bases for the #1, correct?? Apparently, the quarter rib was removed on this particular gun, to be used with open sights - or something?? If that is the case, does the rear sight have to be removed to be able to put on the quarter rib?? (As it will be apparent, I know ZILCH about Rugers in general and #1s in particular ). Thanks a bunch in advance. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon... It entices its bearer into primeval forests, into mountains and deserts untenanted by man. - Horace Kephart | ||

mho, the rib is put on with machine screws. Look in the back of the Brownells catalog, they are listed in the parts section under Ruger. They are round $50. | |||

Cool, thanks Chic. That does not sound like a very serious undertaking. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon... It entices its bearer into primeval forests, into mountains and deserts untenanted by man. - Horace Kephart | |||

Ruger #1 ribs are held on with screws and large diameter pins calle "dowels". They're listed in the Brownell's catalog in the OEM section. hth Rick R Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most. | |||

Thanks guys.
They are?? Any pointers?? I found the Ruger website to be less than obvious to navigate, but maybe it is just me?? Funny, that I can't seem to find the ribs on the Brownell site either. But I think I might have a catalog at home... Nice custom rib fla3006, probably a bit more expensive than what I had in mind, though. (Don't mention the word "cheap", please ). - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon...

It is listed under Product Services. Parts Booklets. They are $60-65 depending on the dovetail. http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/SE-PartsBookletsRI.html http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/PDF/E11.pdf As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

Way cool, Ramrod. Thanks a bunch for that. You must have surfed that site quite extensively to find that information, or just have a better sense of how to navigate sites than I do! Thanks again. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon... It entices its bearer into primeval forests, into mountains and deserts untenanted by man. - Horace Kephart | |||

The site doesn't make a lot of sense. I had to get a new magazine follower spring a couple of weeks ago. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

If you are going to replace or change the rib and use a scope, read this tip - scroll down a fw paragraphs. Ruger accuracy link Back to the still. Spelling, I don't need no stinkin spelling The older I get, the better I was. | |||

Wow, what a tour-de-force! Well written article, a tinkerer's dream. I'm not sure I would trust my own technical (in-)ability to do all this. Normally, if something needs fixing at my place, I reach for a bigger hammer... - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon...
