found a really nice I beleive unfired 45-70 false muzzle rifle on a ruger #3 
it has all the tools .
the rifle was built by a gent E larralde of santa barbera ca. it came with a collection of old brass some date stamped to 1943 in good shape.
can anyone tell me any thing about the gunsmith? i plan on stocking this rifle and shooting it here locally.
thanks

Haven't heard the name Laralde before. Looks like nice work on the various pieces. 
A quick Google search turns up several people named Laralde in the Santa Barbara area, so you might consider contacting one of them to see if they have/had a relative that might have been the gunsmith involved in your Ruger.
There's also the possibility the barrel and tools were on a much older gun previously, and refitted to the Ruger action later.

irish66,

Try contacting the San Diego Schuetzenguilde or one of it's members. I know some of them knew and shot with Ed. Send me a PM if you don't have any luck and I'll try and get a phone number for you.

Irish it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the barrel was not made by Barry Darr. Is there any markings on the underside of the barrel.

irish66,

Russ would be the one to call. He answered a few questions about some of Ed's things I have.

Irish, As I PMed you Ed was an employee of Saeco and was there when Barry Darr was in Carpenteria with Bob so like Louis I think it is a darr barrel.
Saeco sold to Redding after Bob died Ed stayed in Santa Barbara for some years.

NICE  FIND!!!!  one of those that makes me almost Froggish with envy.

With that barrel  and a heavy stock it should be a pussy-cat off the bench or crosssticks.  check the twist and match you bullet to that.  and it will be real "condition" resistant.

Dave Crossno has several nice stock patterns for Rugers

I understand the false muzzle sort of. case in the camber. Than push the bullet down muzzle to a depth you want. is this correct. Also can you load everything from the breech if you choose?????TommyAuger

dontknow about loading all from the muzzle guess you could.
had a great chat with barry darr tonight. he told me all about this rifle and some of the history of saeco.
the rifle was assembled by Ed Larralde the barrel and tools were done by him.
I am proud to own it.
