The Alex Henry fore arm was created from the standard bravertail fore arm. The new shape is much lighter, slimmer and 2" shorter. It makes the rifle look much trimmer.

So the buttstock is the original item that came with the rifle, Fred?
If so it's lovely timber.
Do all of your standard No.1s have good timber?

Kombi 1976.
Timber as you call it is a crap shoot. Not all #1 have realy nice wood but most are better than average straight grain. All my #1's have better than average wood. Yes all my butt stocks are factory, and all sofar are bought used. They are 25 years old and some are more recent.

I think most older models have superior wood. I have looked at some new #1's and they are pretty straight grain even the latest 1in500 the 30-06 and 9.3x74 are rather plain. If you want a real fancy piece of wood you pretty well have to get a custom one.
By the end of the year Lux will be making inletted fancy stocks for the #1's. Some of his lumber is breath taking.

I am planning to build a light weight sporter in the 6.5 Mistic and getting the wood from Lux a custom supplier. I have a Ruger #1 243 take off barrel that can be turned into that caliber, but no action yet. So maybe a used complete rifle turn up at the right price.

One of my favorite fun guns. A Grundig of Dresden Stalking Rifle. Caliber; 8.15x 46r, very light & easy to shoot.

kombi1976 · « **Reply #94 on:** November 07, 2009, 02:40:45 PM »

Couldn't show us a pick of one of those 8.15x46R rounds could you, 93marlin?
It's not perhaps 32-40 in Euro speak is it?

Brithunter · « **Reply #95 on:** November 07, 2009, 10:29:11 PM »

kombi I think you'll find it's a different round altogether. I seem to recall it was also used in target shooting in Germany. Mauser made Schutzen rifles chambered for it.

93marlin · « **Reply #96 on:** November 08, 2009, 07:52:05 AM »

Kombi,It is a different round but similar, more bottle neck than a 32/40. The rifle came with 4 boxes of new unfired RWS brass when I got it. The ballistics are also similar to the 32/40. I use a .318 165 grain stop-ring bullet and 13-14 grains of 4227 and neck size the brass just enough to grip the bullet lightly. I seat the bullet by hand with no crimp at all. It is very accurate and the brass should last just shy of forever. There is pic of the rifle attached. As you can see the engraving is terrific. I don't have any pics of the brass right now and the camera is at my office. Brithunter is correct, the caliber was used extensively for Schutzen rifles and a lesser amount of stalking rifles. The Germans also made a '98 Mauser based bolt action single shot in the 8.15 for training purposes.

Just had a look in CoTW and it has some info on it.
Must make a good medium game rifle.
Perfect for foxes and hares here and decent on goats and pigs at shorter ranges.

Hello,

This NEF 45/70 is one of the most accurate rifles I have ever owned. It is as it was when it came out of the box with no trick work done at all. I have found the pet load to be a 350 gr. JSP loaded pretty warm with Varget powder and some magnum primers. Hitting drink cans at 200 yards is quite easy. I will soon be replacing the scope and begin some serious 500 yard work with the expectation of dialing in some really tight groups. Right now though, I am still trying to get some fresh venison back straps to gently lay on the grill. Have a great day.

Dave

Ruger #1 Tropical .375 H&H. The scope is a 3.5 - 14x52 LPS.

Ruger no 1 30-06

Not mine, but I thought a picture of a Hauck rifle, made by Vermont maker Wilbur Hauck in the late 1950's - mid 1960's, would be interesting.

I thought I'd add a couple more to this.
From one extreme to the other you might say.
Here is the newest rifle in my collection - A Ruger No1 Tropical in 450/400 NE 3".

It was a little gift to myself after the birth of my 4th son whose names are Alexander Henry.
I thought it fitting I should get a falling block rifle based on a classic 450 cal after saddling him with that name.
The other is probably the oldest rifle in my locker, although not by much.....an early 1900s Remington Model 6 tilting block "Boys Rifle" in .22lr.

I've had it a while but the trigger is like pushing an elephant up stairs.
It needs lightening and my kids can learn to shoot this when they're a bit older.

My new to me Ruger No. 3 with Ruger No. 1 Butt Stock. Not sure about the forearm but I think it is No. 1 also. It was restocked some years ago by a person unknown to me.

It is wearing a Leupold FX-III, 25X40 Silhouette Competition scope. It is .223 Remington and shoots quite well.

Rolling block #4 in .22 long rifle.

Who makes / where did you find your:

Rolling block #4 in .22 long rifle.

I am looking for a good accurate 22 rimfire, preferably not a break barrel.

Not sure if Ruger ever made a Ruger #1 in 22 cal rimfire ... and the prices on #1s are obscene.

$:-\$

Why doesn't Remington, or someone make a falling block, rolling block, etc.,etc. ?

kombi1976 · « **Reply #111 on:** July 02, 2010, 02:32:18 AM »

I'd recommend looking around for a Martini International for an accurate falling block .22lr.
They are scarily accurate.

Yes, 357_SIG · « **Reply #112 on:** July 02, 2010, 01:43:05 PM »

Are those antiques or current production?

Who made / makes them?

Let me sit down and fasten my seat belt before I ask how much those jewels sell for.

OK.

kombi1976 · « **Reply #113 on:** July 02, 2010, 04:23:06 PM »

BSA made them.
Look on Gunbroker and GunsAmerica.

Why can't someone tool up and make some nice rimfire falling blocks, or rolling blocks ?

$:-\$

Surely, they can't be that hard to make ... can they ?

Frank46 · « **Reply #116 on:** July 02, 2010, 06:19:49 PM »

Try mtguns.com and see what they have listed. I have a couple BSA martini's. A model 12 .22 lr, a model 12/15 also in 22lr and a 310 cadet. Frank

Shoot paper patch bullets and you won't need gas checks and you'll get great accuracy!!

I have a Stevens Crackshot and these are still available in a one piece or take down model. They aren't pennies, but they are under 400 bucks.

I can shoot ground hogs, squirrels etc. out to 100 yards with the iron sights. At closer ranges, I can group almost one hole at 25 yards and shoot the heads off dandylions and queen anne's lace flowers.
