Ruger No 1 in .303 British?
      13/04/07 03:52 PM

I've always been keen on the .303 British cartridge.

Grew up using a No1 Mk3 and then a No4 Mk1 SMLE, then recently bought a very original Martini Enfield .303.

Lots of fun, but I found myself wanting more refinement than a SMLE and a more modern single shot with the ability to easily mount a scope. Don't want to start butchering an 1899 rifle still with 90% original bluing!

The obvious choice would be a Ruger No 1, inexplicably not currently offered in this classic calibre

So what is involved with rebarrelling a second hand No 1?

Is it just a matter of swapping over barrels, re-attaching the rib and replacing/modifying the extractor to suit the rimmed cartridge on ANY No 1 or are certain existing calibres more suitable?

Any advice gratefully received

Cheers

TM
