Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this outstanding falling-block single-shot rifle today for a penny-start auction, this is the Ruger No.1!
According to a note sent by the owner, he purchased this Ruger No.1 about ten years ago from the estate of a Ruger No.1 collector. This was the only No.1 in this caliber that he had ever seen. Supposedly, this gun doesn't exist, and no Ruger No.1's in rimfire calibers are known to exist. He doesn't know if this is a Ruger factory conversion/test gun or if the collector paid a gunsmith to change the caliber of the original rifle. Either way, this is a very rare rifle that comes chambered in the popular .22 WMR rimfire caliber. (Note: we cannot 100% verify that this is a factory conversion/test gun).

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger No. 1 is a single-shot rifle that features a Farquharson-style hammerless falling-block action. It has been manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. since 1967. To load the rifle, an underlever is used to lower the breechblock, which also cocks the rifle. Lenard Brownell, who worked at Ruger, praised the No. 1's strength, saying that he had trouble trying to tear it up during testing and never managed to blow one apart. The rifle has a shotgun-style tang safety that works on the hammer and sear. The Ruger No. 1 is available in a variety of calibers and with an Alexander Henry, beavertail, or Mannlicher-style forearm.
