Ruger No. 1 question

[jims]

Can a Ruger No. 1 in 45-70 be rechambered to a 45-110? By that is there enough breech material that the increased pressure would be safe in the longer chamber? Thoughts, not asking on decreased value etc.

It should be safe, they chamber them in 450NE and .458 Lott but I'm not sure if they use the same contour for .45-70 as they do on the tropical. You just need to check chamber dimensions and make sure you won't put a step in the chamber.
