Ruger single six value??

[torquen]

I have a Ruger Single Six .22 revolver that I am wanting to get rid off. The pistol does not hold any sentimental value to me. Its in great condition and looks brand new. I dont have the .22 mag cylinder "only the .22 LR cylinder.

I have been offered $250 for this revolver. I looked on gunbroker.com and the prices are all over the place but most of them don't have to many bids. I was thinking of selling this to either fund a Tokarev pistol or a 17hmr riffle.

If you can let me know what the value of this revolver is that would be great. Thanks for the help.

I can't tell you the exact value, but it would be considerably more than $250. You have a very clean three screw model. If it is in the original condition it has some good value. I would go to the ruger forum and ask around there. Those guys are really sharp and are spot on with the price.

BTW I would gladly give you $255

Does it have the old model lockwork still or has it had the conversion? It will cost $200 with shipping to buy and have fitted a new 22mag cylinder. $300-$350 is my best guess, depending if it has the old model lockwork. I bought an old model in exellent condition with both cylinders, box, and paperwork on consignment recently for $400. I bought one a year ago on consignment that was in exellent condition, had the mag cylinder only, and had the lockwork conversion, but did not have the old lockwork for $250. Gunbroker prices are on crack, but you never know, you might list it there and find someone to pay $500 for it.

Here's one with the mag cylinder, box, and papers that sold for $400

I think $250 is going price on one with some wear and not a 3 screw so try and get a little more. I have heard of them going for less so It all comes down to what someone is willing to pay.

Minimum $300. Wholesale on the same gun is $360.

As always....check the closed listings.

Don't assume it's a convertible and came with the extra cyl. It could've just been a LR. Also, having the serial number could give more info as to the gun's history. Do you have the box/papers? Is it converted, etc?

I think $250-300 is a fair price in the condition you show it, no box, papers, and unconverted. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $250, and I pass up a lot of single-sixes.

250 seems a little low. I'm thinking more in the area around 290 to 310 for it with it missing the cylinder and all. This is one of the handguns I need to get.

My offer is $256.00 ;-).

I see you are near Sacramento. I am located in Los Angeles County. Do you have any idea where I would find a good quantity of used Single Sixes at good prices to check out?

I always hated the contestants in the Price is Right who would bid just $1 more than the last guy.

Don't assume it's a convertible and came with the extra cyl. It could've just been a LR.

1960 would have been the last year for the true LR only gun. It would either have the hard rubber or fake stag grips. That is a 6 1/2" barrel, and the LR only came in 5 1/2" and 9 1/2". The LR only had a .222 barrel. There was also a magnum only with a .224 barrel. In 1961 with the introduction of the convertable, a compromise barrel diameter of .223 was introduced. Any mag cyl. delete gun would still have the .223 diameter, and have no added collector value as a LR only gun.

Give Ruger CS a call if you give them the serial # they can tell you how it shipped out of the factory ie a convertible or just with one cyl. I know I've been wanting another one I needed some money so I sold the 2 I had their fun little shooters, good luck. Redhemi

Start here and figure out when it was made. http://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory.html# or call Ruger Customer Service.

I recently sold mine, with the original box, manual & wrapping paper for $450 to a collector in the midwest.

Good luck
