The Ruger No. 1 is a single shot rifle with Farquharson-style internal hammer falling block action manufactured by Sturm Ruger. It was introduced in 1967. An underlever lowers the block allowing loading and cocks the rifle. Lenard Brownell commenting on his work at Ruger said of the No. 1: There was never any question about the strength of the action. I remember in testing it how much trouble I had trying to tear it up.
