Ruger guide gun?

[chuck nelson]

Does anyone have a close up picture of the end of their barrel? I’m looking for the distance between the face of the site band and where the barrel reduces to accept the brake. Thanks.

It’s like a photo from a medical journal.

Can't... NOT... Look...

Thanks! The reason for asking of course is to see if complete amputation is feasible. And I think it is!

Tod had it done on his .375 Ruger.

yes sir now it's 19.6" from bolt face to crown

A barrel that is flush with the barrel band looks gross. But there is enough meat there to make it look fine I think.

I think mine is the Alaskan not guide gun.

I like a half inch of barrel sticking out past the band. Makes it easier to tape it.

It's a pain in the ass to tape muzzle on my 375. My Ruger scout 308 is same problem. Not much barrel hanging past the front sight. Keeping the tape stuck down isn't easy

An item we used to get from security/first aid in the plant where I worked that worked well was what is known as finger cots. About the only rifles they didn't work on is the few full wood Mannlicher style stocked rifles I have.

Do you refer to that as a Rugercisum when talking to your gunsmith?

yes they do work and they do even make one in left handed version ... same velocity as a 375hh in a shorter compact version very good open sights. what not to like. in Alaska, NWT, BC and Yukon they have some good fans and it is a great tool.
