Ruger #1, New Quarter Rib Needed
 Login/Join

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 Roll Eyes).

Thanks a bunch in advance.

- mike

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.

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.

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 Wink).

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! SmilerThanks again.

The site doesn't make a lot of sense. I had to get a new magazine follower spring a couple of weeks ago.

If you are going to replace or change the rib and use a scope, read this tip - scroll down a fw paragraphs.

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... Smiler
