Are there any other Ruger #1 22 LR conversion on the forum? My gunsmith friend did my conversion 3-4 yrs ago after nearly 5 yrs of trying to talk him into the doing the conversion.
I took a sporter weight 30-06 #1 and had a match liner installed. Used a modified 22 Hornet extractor. He lowered the firing pin to hit on the bottom of the case.
When he ran the drill through the 30 caliber barrel taking out only .015 on each side the scope mount holes broke through. .015 is awful close on a high pressure centerfire rifle.
It shoots squirrel eyeball accuracy at 50 yds. He installed a pressure screw on the forearm hanger but it shoots so well I haven't messed with it. He forgot how much pressure if any he put on the adjustment screw.
If I figure out how to post pictures I will do so.
