Nice safety conversion Rocdoc!!

I agree with you on "I doubt that Ruger are not aware of the problem". Especially when you google "safety for Ruger #1" and read all the problems on the other Forums and when you get a big name like Craig Boddington pointing it out!

I currently own 10 Ruger #1's with my first one I bought in the late 1980's. I have had to modify the safeties on 7 of them, 223, .303 Brit, 375 H&H, 375 Ruger, 450/400, 416 Rem & 45-70. The other 3, 22-250, 25-06 & 30-06 were acceptable with only the 30-06, actually 0.030" below the loading groove.
