Description
Ace 1 Arms Ruger B Gas Blowback Rifle
The Ace 1 Arms Ruger B is a gas blowback airsoft rifle carrying the Ruger name. Gas blowback rifles cycle a bolt with every shot, giving you a realistic action and a recoil kick you can feel, which makes them some of the most enjoyable replicas to shoot.
Ruger is one of America’s best-known gun makers, famous for practical and popular sporting rifles, and this replica takes its name from that tradition. We do not have a full manufacturer’s specification sheet for the Ruger B, so we have kept this description to what we can confirm. Please check the product images for the stock, sights and finish, and contact us if you need details such as the magazine capacity or the gas it uses before you order.
How a gas blowback rifle works
Each time you fire, gas from the magazine sends the BB on its way and pushes the bolt back, loading the next BB and giving you that distinctive kick. The magazine is both the ammunition supply and the gas tank, so the rifle is self-contained with no battery to charge.
Gas pressure depends on temperature, so the rifle is at its best on mild or warm days. In cooler weather, keep magazines warm in a pocket and swap between them to keep performance consistent.
On the field and at the range
A gas blowback rifle makes every shot feel deliberate. The movement of the bolt gives clear feedback, which helps you practise sight picture, trigger control and follow-through, and makes target shooting much more rewarding than with a simple spring or electric replica.
In a game, a handy gas rifle is quick to bring to the shoulder and comfortable to carry. Many players enjoy the challenge of making each shot count and the slower, more thoughtful style of play that a gas rifle encourages.
As with any replica, have the rifle chronographed at your site before play and check the site’s rules on gas replicas.
Getting started
Read the manual first so that you know how to fill, load and fire the Ruger B and which gas to use. Fill the magazine in short bursts, load good quality BBs, and test-fire into a safe backstop.
Set the hop-up as described in the manual, making small adjustments until the BBs fly flat, then practise at increasing distances to learn how the rifle shoots.

Compatibility
Use magazines made for the Ruger B, or confirmed as compatible with it, along with the gas recommended in the manual and good quality, seamless 6mm BBs. If you want to add an optic or a sling, check the product images for mounting points or ask us before ordering.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the magazine’s fill valve every few fills, fill in short bursts and do not overfill. Store magazines with a little gas in them so the seals stay supple, and keep the rifle and magazines away from heat and direct sunlight.
Clean the inner barrel with a cleaning rod and a lint-free patch if accuracy drops, and use clean, good quality seamless BBs. Wipe the metal parts with a light film of silicone oil, follow the manual for any stripping, and never use lighter fluid or butane from a lighter refill can.
Who is it for?
The Ruger B suits players who want the realism and feedback of a gas blowback rifle, from those moving up from spring or electric replicas to collectors who like the Ruger name. It is equally at home in a skirmish and in a back-garden target session.
Please note: Always wear suitable eye protection when using airsoft replicas, and have the rifle chronographed at your site before play.
