Ruger No. 1 Bore Guide

www.ellwoodepps.com Both new & used. Just checked.
Got mine from Sinclair in the us. Theirs are made of polyurethane I think and use an o-ring. I prefer them over everything else I have seen and they make them for everything. Sinclair is real easy to deal with too-absolutely no hassle. I think I have 4 of them now.

Jon, you can easliy make one with a boreguide for a bolt gun.
Just find the caliber you need and trim it down so you end up with a bore guide that is shorter than normal.
What caliber are you shooting i the No.1?

If you are cleaning from the muzzle, you can make a bore guide/crown protector by cutting the head off a smaller brass casing and insert up side down into the muzzle. This will protect the crown from the rod as it passes through.

The Sinclair stuff was shown to me by a competition shooter and that was all he would use. The fit is precise to say the least. These are not just bits of pipe but fit and sit where you put them and only come out when you decide. They are also long so the chemicals dont slop on the wood. The site is
www.sinclairintl.com and the company name is Sinclair International. They have some neat stuff. I looked at most of what was available and it is kinda junky by comparison. Delight to use and very tech looking too. Check out the site anyways. Got mine.

Now that I am thinking about this the first ones I bought were for my Ruger 77mk II 30-06 and my Ruger no 1 223. I think they were about $20 each. They even have a port on top to put cleaners in while the wad is in the tube.
Pretty slick all in all IMHO but then I am a sucker for a nicely made rig especially one that works as well as the manuf says. Thats a rare thing.

MTM has a goo one with an "o" ring on it that you can shorten to length, then turn down to fit the breach.
if you don't have access to a lathe you can chuck it in a drill and use the clamps they sell to bolt the drill to a work bench.
If you are c areful you will doa very good job - check it with your vernier to make sure it is even.
Sinclair however, usually is pretty quick with sending orders , for the most part.
