Re: Ruger Red Label 45-70

I found some more pictures of the Red Label conversion and also got the owners permission to show you a couple of his hunting shots along with the rifle pictures. This first shot shows the front spacer held in place with a hose clamp and the temporary front sight which which was fitted to a collar that is held on by a friction fit. Crude but good enough to regulate the gun with till other methods could be used.



This is a better shot showing how I bored the monoblock and kept it in alignment on the lathe.


This is a shot of the mid spacer that has just be soldered in using Brownell's Hi Force 44.


This shot shows the Ruger forend spacers in place between the already mounted barrels.


This is a shot of the new rifle rib in place on the new barrels.


This is a shot of the Ruger with the first scope mount showing, I eventually made this with two different scope ring mounting systems because the owner found some new rings he liked better.


This shot shows the partially finished rifle with the temporary sights on it, the back sight is an old Remington ramp sight solder to the barrel for regulating only.


These two are of the new owner and his first kill with the new rifle.
