Ruger No. 3, with no barrel band?
« on: January 02, 2013, 10:48:28 AM »
 
Dear Guys,
 
   Does anyone know if Ruger ever sold, as a factory item, the No. 3 single shot without a front barrel band?  The only ones I've ever seen had a band on them, but my friend told me he has seen one without a front barrel band, and that the forestock has no cut-in section for a band.
 
Thanks for all info,
Mannyrock

If you go to images of Ruger #3 rifles on line they show a #3 with out band , it is at Cabela's/Mitchells where ever that happens to be.

   Yes, but the issue is, are they factory installed stocks, or someone's aftermarket custom work?

That I don't know but could a #1 forearm be used to replacve the one with a band ? if so would the band not have left a mark ?

There are more boogered up #3s than not.  It should have a band.

Then someone put it on there.  It didn't come that way.

There was a time when #3's were bought and the big "custom"  touch was to make them look like #1's. Forends and pistol grip stocks, right down to heating up and bending the finger lever to contour the grip. Yes, if you have one without a band it "was" boogered up at one time.

I'm with Swampman on this one, unless one of you barrel bandless owners can prove otherwise.
And, I'll bet my last 3 barrel bands, that aint gonna happen.

I'm just curious, what purpose does the barrel band serve... theres allready a screw holding the forarm on... I just picked one up in 223, has no band, looks great, have yet to fire it. Bob
