Re: Ruger No 1 Safety Issue

Just picked up the Special Edition of "Single Shot" by Rifle magazine and there is a article on the Ruger #1. In the article they are saying that "The safety is designed to stop an ejected case for easy removal."
That sounds like marketing BS to me. Why fit an ejector and then something to stop the case ejecting. The safety is a very poorly fitting piece of machining from my experience. i have six Ruger No1's at the moment and have sold a few others over the years. The slide is not shaped to the tang and kicks up at both ends.
I have modified mine by reshaping the safety so the ends don't kick up and filing the leading end back and bevelling it. It is then necessary to machine the underside of the tang to make the safety slide freely. Once done, the ejector works as it should, and will properly propel a 450-400 case free of the action and the shooters hand.
