Somebody sent me a No. 1 **IT'S FINISHED!!**

[longbow51]

Wow; anyone have a source for No.1 actions? Or Dakota 10?

 

[Salmonchaser]

Wow, great work!

 

[Nick87]

Dear God that thing turned out amazing! I wouldn't be able to take it out and use it for fear of abuse. Amazing work @p_ham and congrats @noharleyyet.

 

[Nick87]

That makes me feel all tingly in my no-no zone.

Sir this is a thread about a beautiful rifle, please leave your hemorrhoids out of this, wth.

 

[BAKPAKR]

That rifle is amazing. You did a great job.

 

[Mallardsx2]

nice work but I liked the laminate better.

 

[BackofBeyond]

Gorgeous work.

Anybody have any tips on how to tell my kids that dad spent their college funds on a stainless #1?

Just explain how you’ve always wanted a really nice Ruger #1 whereas they were accidents

They always have the military..

To be clear to the dude who knows better how to define other people's preferences, the pad's on me, Mr. p-ham knows exactly what he's doing...

...and so do I.

So cat is curious…

What’s the tale for the red pad?

What’s the tale for the red pad?

None...preference only as I liked the vivid red. It's the first Kick-Eez pad I've used. Saw a pic (believe p_ham sent to me) from the net I liked and asked him to use as a template.
This pic, sans iron sights and Henry foreend shooting stick detent is what we collaborated from...

Paul suggested the breach block & underlever release jewelling, a Jard trigger, found a good chequerer, eliminated the foreend hanger gizmo, and expertly refined & fitted/finished the Tree Bone walnut. He also had the grip cap & machined the clocked screws, and the barrel ring stud. He is a superb communicator with conscientiousness and patience off the chart.

This #1 won't be a presentation piece, it will soon sport field love taps and wear. To me a pristine rifle has no mystique...and we both expect it to be accurate. Have a Swaro Z3 3x10x42 1" tube for it.

 

[Farmerj]

That’s kewl. Just wasn’t sure if there was more to it is all.

Outstanding work @p_ham. Just lovely.

 

[morgaj1]

Kill an elk with it. mtmuley

 

[rmyoung1]

This makes a guy want to get in line

Nice job, @p_ham
And @noharleyyet we want elk & rifle photos!!!

 

[Sytes]

Absolutely incredible skill, @p_ham ! Wow! Hah! I bet, for once, the HT thesaurus king was left at a loss for words.

 

[Derek44]

That checkering would probably even earn a Tom terrific endorsement. Hot damn man. BEAUTIFUL WORK!! This has been a fun one

 

[TradeGun.62]

Always stunning work Paul.

I have a No. 1 in 7 Mag that my boss bought me for my 10 year work anniversary. I found it in the gun library at Cabela's in Billings. Doesn't have a mark on it and I'm having a hard time putting that first one on, but someday I'm going to shoot a bull with it. And it'll be glorious
