Who would be a good gunsmith to rebarrel a Ruger#1 30-06 to 500Nitro? No fancy sights, just a new barrel, chamber & extractor work. Whose barrel would you use? Pac-Nor? NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | ||

Forrest... I would just send the kit to pacnor.. call first... if they won't do it.. i'll refit your 510 wells barrel to it... just drop the brevex barreled action off at my house.. with the ruger #1.. i'll give you the ruger in 500 NE and the old barrel back... you won't need that too dang big ole mauser action anymore... HEH Seriously, I got dibs on the 45 barrel, if you aren't going to use it!! jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Christinson in Delhi la. You'll probably have to open the rear of the action for it to eject if memory serves me. Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

open rear of action...yep. i had to take out a little in the trough on the breech block and work the rest of action out accordingly. unless someone does internal mods to allow breech block to drop lower i don't see how larger rounds are accomodated in that action. am i the only one who'd stand in line during a blizzard to buy a scaled up #1 in 577 or 600 from the factory if ruger'd offer it? | |||

I've read this is necessary for the 577 but did not realize it was also true for the 500. NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | |||

it was at least true when i tried it on this one rifle. was not much. i'm thinking .020 or .030". was just binding a hair as the rim hit the trough and forced the upper side of the case into the chamber mouth. however, i started w/ a #1 in 300winmag and i've no idea if there are different breechblocks (so far as loading troughs). roger | |||
