Ruger No.1-B Falling Block Rifle
serial #134-00091, 308 Win, 26'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This rifle is as-new and features the factory assigned personal ''91'' serial number of Henry Rodeschin. Henry was one of the early hires to the Ruger company and worked there for many decades retiring as foundry supervisor in 1998. The metal surfaces retain 99% plus original blue, the frame and lever toning lightly to plum, and the falling block remains bright and excellent. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut stock and semi-beavertail forend are in excellent condition showing some nice grain figure in the butt and with sling studs on the toeline and just behind the forend tip. The metal markings all remain crisp. The rifle has no provisions for open sights but features integral scope bases on the quarter rib, and appears to function well mechanically. Included is the factory box, end labeled and numbered to the rifle, a pair of Ruger rings, swivels, the factory lock, and the manual. This is an as-new-in-box single-shot rifle chambered for an effective and available caliber. (4A11770-22) {MODERN} (1000/1500)
