Just back from another 5 week stint in China...

In the meantime Tony Small from Nickal Traditional Gunsmithing has been busy modifying the safeties on my two Ruger No 1's in .450/400 NE 3" and .303 British.

He also modified both triggers to a light crisp release.

I wanted the final safety to be low profile and have a similar appearance to the timeless elegance of those on fine British shotguns and double rifles.

The empties now ping halfway across the room rather than have the rims catch up on the original poorly resolved Ruger factory safety.

I think you will agree he has done an outstanding job... Tony is a superb craftsman, highly recommended for custom gunsmithing!
