Gentlemen,

I also saw spent cases or live cartridges hanging up on the safety slide after pulling down the lever and extracting the cases.
Calibers were .375 H&H Mag, .458 Win Mag and 404 Rimless (all Ruger No. 1 Tropcal) and in 270 Win.

Guns were purchased around 1990, and even then C. Boddington or Ross Seyfried wrote in an article about a Ruger No 1 custom in 470 N.E. that the safety slide was altered for preventing cases from jamming on the safety slide.

I cannot believe that Ruger is not aware of this fact, maybe the Ruger Quality staff do not testfire the rifles???

best regards
Rolf
