ok, Answers! 1: the 22LR cylinder is stamped with numbers matching the frame serial no. 2: the 22Mag cylinder is etches (not stamped) with non-matching numbers. 3: 7/32" drill bit fits perfectly into the bbl of the firearm, so it *appears* it can shoot 22Mag 4: the 22Mag cylinder is indeed too...

Thanks for the tip... I'll have to try that out after work!

Greetings! I have a Single Six (according to the serial number search it appears to be a "Magnum .22" from 1962. It has a .22 LR cylinder installed (working perfectly) and came with a .22 magnum cylinder as well, but it simply will not fit into the frame. I'm assuming it simply did not come...

It's locked away again... :) Ruger American 17 HMR rifle. Last night I pulled it out and inspected the extractor mechanism, all looked good but for some metal flaking inside! I blew that out, wiped it, and practiced on a single cartridge... never failed. Maybe some debris was indeed preventing...

My apologies, you are correct, the extractor. Thanks for the tips. I will check every one of them!

... fires just fine, but the bolt return isn't ejecting the spent cartridges. have to get in there with a fingernail or knife blade... any ideas?

Just ordered mine today. Now, what to do with the Mk II (bull barrel)? :)

Just got back from the range. The New Model Single Six 17 HMR shot beautifully. The cylinder had absolutely no hang-ups on the casings while ejecting or spinning the cylinder just to see if it would hang up. Accurate, and a beauty to handle. You gotta try one (and the muzzle velocity... WOW!)!

On Hold Pending Funds! The consensus on the forum is that these are not Ruger-made. Aftermarket made to fit the Single Six (X31RED frame... if I remember that number correctly!). I need the money more than the grips, so here goes! Asking $700 delivered. Condition is very good, cracking seen on...

Thanks, Bill! Range day delayed a week. Next Saturday before I can shoot it :(

Thanks, contender! I will be taking it out tomorrow... will report back!

Sandman, thanks for the detailed reply and info! I will try to report back!

I just picked up a .17 HMR Single Six revolver (serial number shows manufacture date of 2004) that has never been shot! It was impulse... opportunity met ability and now it is mine. I hit the range out in the desert on Saturday and plan on putting a few rounds through it. Has anyone shot this...

Decisions, decisions. I will remove them and put the wooden grips on the Single Six. After all, it is meant to be shot and shoot it I will! I don't think I will remove the badges and replace with the black-eagle version... yeah, I think they are just glued, but I have no experience working with...

I'm sure opinions on what constitutes 'value' differs from person to person. What is your rough estimate of value? (honestly, I'm trying to save for a 1911 and you guys have me thinking....)
