I had their "Ruger #1 accuracy system" done to a Ruger #3 and had them re-barrel it to their 6.5mm BRM wildcat. I can't say I did'nt get what I paid for but:

-the job took a full 13 months!
-the forearm inletting for the new barrel was
done with accu-glass or Bondo and painted black
to cover up the color difference. Very amateur-
ish in my opinion.
-the finish on the barrel (polish?) looks like
about 220 grit but the blueing is nice.
- I'm still not getting the accuracy they
claimed.

Personnaly, I would not do it again and there IS more to say. Send me a PM if you want to hear it.

Haven't had them do any #1's for me, because their attitude when I called them for info was discouraging and VERY disgusting.

Ruger # 1
Interesting,
I had them re-barrel a # 1 for me, it took about 7 months,
excelent workmanship, shoots about 1/2 inch groups. Cant say
anything bad about them, and I don't think you will find anyone
doing what they do for $ 400., Maybe I got lucky.

No ruger work but had probelms with their lack of customer service and crap parts that where replaced with crap parts.
They have lost my business forever.

I called them for clarification of a point that they make on their web site regarding work on on my #1 and was told to read their ad! I had obviously read their ad or I would not have been calling for clarification but I think this fine point was lost on them. There are enough good firms looking for business that I don't have to waste time with arrogant jerks. If I were you, I'd pass.
