Very nice, Fotis.

 

[FOTIS]

Does anyone know if the ruger red pads were ever made in the high gloss back in the 1980's? This one has been in the owners safe since 1984

I know how to pick em huh?

I have never seen one in high gloss. They did make some early ones with a oil type finish but it was not high gloss. I do not believe that I have ever seen one that glossy. Nice wood though!

 

[FOTIS]

Sellers swears it was never touched from original.

 

[Wincheringen]

Definitely not factory finish, but no matter it is nice.

I was told that there were a very select few that Ruger did this way. Not sure

From another site

Looks pretty shiny too me, but there was a short period of time with red pads that Ruger used a "shiny" finish. Has appearance of polyurethane;
Pretty outstanding piece of wood, too!

That the best wood I have seen on a No.1 I will try to get a pic up in next couple of days of a Ruger no.1 in 264 mag I have that El Numero uno from the Ruger forum said that was the best he had seen.

Looking forward to seeing that one Noslerfan! I do like those single shot Ruger rifles.

Fotis - I don't know if that's a factory finish or not - but it is indeed some beautiful wood. Looks like a keeper to me, factory or not.

You "need" another pronghorn rifle anyway right?
