    I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm pretty sure Ruger started making their own barrels in 1983.........So pre '83. I am also pretty sure they had TWO barrel makers before they took on the job themself.

    From all that I have read the post '83 barrels seem to have the edge in accuracy. (no personal experience).

    Lotta....lotta calibers in Ruger #1's

    Not much help I guess.

    More info........
