    Saga of the Ruger "Pitted Stainless Steel Cylinder".

    Long ago I Got three More 6-Shot Stainless Steel Cylinders Via Ebay auctions. I also got a Blued 6-shot Cylinder. In addition I Got four 8-shot Blued cylinders to modify for my .25 Caliber Single Eight Revolver. Chev. William

    Perhaps you do onot understand The Problem I faced. 1. The ".22 Cal Single Six" I own is Already Converted to Center Fire and ".25ACP" Cartridge use in 8 shot cylinders. 2. Ruger Said the Revolver Would be Returned to STOCK ORIGINAL Condition BEFORE they would consider fitting a Replacement...

    Finally received the definitive Reply from Ruger: They will Not Exchange the Bad cylinder unless we send a 'Single six' revolver in with it to have Ruger Fit the New cylinder. Oh well. Chev. William
