Can a Ruger #1 or #3 be rebarreled with a tapered octagonal barrel?  I have been told that it doesn't work out too well.

Ya, no reason why not other than it's got to be small enough to turn past the spring hanger. Might not give you much shoulder to tighten up on though, you'd have to look at how much you'd have there.
