barrel threads on Ruger #1, #3???
« on: March 06, 2004, 10:38:37 PM »
I'm going to a gunshow this morning (Sunday, 7 Mar.) to look for a .45-70 barrel for my Ruger #3 action.

Can someone tell me the major diameter for the thread on this action?

TIA
Cheers/buffler

The Rugers use a 1" 16V TPI. Don't know the twist rate.
