I don't mean to hi-jack this thread and sorry to see such a nice old gun damaged, but being it's about blow up's a question was asked on the Ruger # 1 group about anyone ever seeing a # 1 blow up, there's over 1100 members in the # 1 group and many of them own more than one # 1, but no one reported ever seeing one blown up where the action was damaged, any one here ever seen one and if so do you have pictures.
