I picked up this new model single six w/ 9 1/2" barrel. I knew it looked rough when I bid on it and was just looking for a shooter project. My first time taking one completely down and wasn't very hard to do. I notice the trigger spring only has one arm on it and thought it might have broke off...

I was reading on a previous thread (single six mag cyl), that early (pre 61) bores were .219. Mine is S# 103xxx and I had a spare mag cyl from mid 70's that fit it perfectly and and functions fine although I haven't shot it much. Is there any safety concerns I should be worried about? Should I...

Sorry, not sure what INC means but guessing company included INC as in incorporated? , and INC went away sometime before the 40- prefix? Thanks I will let him know, he offered $800 and the guy declined so he turned it down. I told him before I posted here that I thought $800 was high and he...

I'm sorry, I forgot the caliber. It's a 41mag. He said it was from the early 60's and not a brass grip frame or at least he didn't mention it.

Nice 3 screw single six jstanfield. I had 2 early ones, one not converted that I sold now wishing I hadn't and one converted. The unconverted has changed hands twice since and I might try to get it back. This is the converted one which has a lot of bluing loss and I took the anodizing off the...

My brother is looking at one that the owner wants $1000, it has no box and is in about 95%. It is made in the early 60's. Are they really worth that much, used with no box?

So the hammer has to be fitted to the gun for it to work? Oh, miss read, trigger had to be fitted. Was the hammer just a swap?

Nice pair G2. If I keep this one I might put a Bisley hammer on it. That is a different trigger too, right, was it modified or what? And those are "old" Vaquero's too correct? So 'clean up" guns were made from left over frames? Does Ruger say to only shoot cowboy loads out of their New...

That very well could be but if you look through the sold guns you can sort of tell what they might be worth. Probably a little better than just looking in the Blue Book and guessing % of finish. I have been looking on and off for some time and I haven't found another like this one. If you or...

Thank you for the information G2. I don't know how far back into the history of auctions on Gunbroker but I still have the copy of the finished auction. It ended quite a bit earlier than I thought (8-10-2012) Auction # 300421169. I have no idea why the winning bidder would have paid that much...

I was on the revolver forum and gtxmonte posted a pic of a poor condition single six he just picked up. I also picked up a poor condition one and posted a pic and told what I did to it. I said I would post more pics with the old J Scott stags that I fitted to it. I think they turned out well. I...

Here is mine. Poor finish and I took oil and fine emory cloth, 400 then 800 and then wiped it down with alcohol and swabbed 44-40 cold blue on. Then 0000 steel wool with oil and repeated 44-40, 0000 and oil. Took the anodize off the grip frame and polished it. I had an old set of J Scott fake...

I believe the Talo guns are built on the NEW Vaquero frames which are slightly smaller like .357 frames where as the first ones were made on larger 44mag frames. I would like to find out more about that though. If anyone has a source of info about these or production records I'd like to read or...

I bought this gun new, catalog # KBNVBH 453, serial # 58-57xxx. When I did an advanced search on gun broker about a year ago when I was thinking of selling it I found one that SOLD for $1000 and it stunned me that someone would pay that kind of money for a gun that's not that old. Is it really...
