ruger ssm-6 32 mag

what is the value on 32 h&r mag ruger box marked ssm-6 less than 150 rounds fired thru gun. gun is mint with original box and paperwork

Welcome to the Forum!
The 32's have a following, but to some, they have no interest. I'd say that gun should be in the $400-$450 range.

Is the cylinder frame "Rollmarked" with the SSM Nomenclature?

The way I read his post is that the box is marked, not the gun. However, if the gun is marked like Flatgates pic, then the price will chance. To a higher number.

no gun is not marked ssm wish it was, i bought this gun new in 84 or 85 serial
650-138--. thanks for the information

Not to hijack a thread but you guys have piqued my interest and it does involve the value of a 32 Mag SSM. It's rollmarked and I have the original grips but no box. So, what are these worth? [/img]

Original examples in pristine condition are considered $500 guns.

They must be in "collector quality" to command such values, as opposed to my shooter....



which was "buggered up" like this when I bought it. I appears that a grip frame screw has contacted the cylinder and the previous owner had no concept of how to keep the cylinder latch from scratching a 360° circle around the cylinder.... :roll: , which, by the way, is now fixed so "no ring" will occur. Now I gotta reblue that cylinder

JMHO,

I have two purchased in 2010 added to my 32 "SSM" stable. Very faint (no white shine) turn rings and no metal/finish damage. Un-damaged original grips. Paid $310 and $365 with boxes but no extras. They've both seen holster time in the winter hardwoods of Michigan and the Ponderosa pines of Arizona's rim country.

90 gr JHP over 3.5 gr of Titegroup. 3.3 gr for a subsonic load. Pan-fried Squirrel meat & mashed potatoes makes me snooze with a smile.

No collector here, and I don't need a museum. I like shooters 'cause I shoot 'em!

I load 118 gr. hard cast over a stiff charge of WW-296!
I've turned a Rock Chuck inside out with my .32!

BTW, short of polishing the latch round, how DOES one prevent the ring on a Single-Six???

I weld up the cylinder latch's leg, increasing it's length a bit. It's tedious work but after a few of them it's not too bad.

ALL my New Model shooters are treated to the modification....
