Ruger Single-Six score this weekend

[bigbossman]

Wandered into a LGS Friday, and saw a C&R Single-Six in the consignment case. Consignee accepted an offer of $250, so I took it home. At the local gun show Saturday, I picked up a complete holster rig for $20. NOTE: the gun only came with the .22LR cylinder. The .22Mag cylinder I had picked up on a "junk" table for $20 a while back, and it fits perfectly.

So, for less than $300 all-in, take a look:

1962, I believe. The grip frame is an XR3, and they switched in 1963 according to online sources.

I've got a single six convertible I bought some time ago. It's still my favorite overall handgun I own. Great score op!

Me, too. Sometimes you're in the right place at the right time, and the stars align.

To be fair - the gun showed poorly because it was crusted with dirt, carbon, dried grease, and other crap, and the holster rig was dry and stiff as a board. A bit of detailed disassembly and cleaning along with a liberal application of elbow grease made the gun come to life, and a liberal application of Leather Honey restored the leather and gave it a nice rich color.

Nice, had a Bird's head one that I let go a few years back. Think I let it go too cheap now. On top of that I inherited a bunch of 22 Maxi Mag

Nice, and I'm really impressed you found one, that was already assembled.
Where's the range report?

Noice!

Sold mine because my SA/DA SP101 .22lr is more fun

You are a funny guy!

Range report pending - gotta work.

That wasn't a score... it was a steal. And a good one, too! Congratulations on that find.
