Many collectors are not aware that the dual cylinder KNR9 is rarer than the single cylinder KS9, but RENE estimates that around 2400 KS9's were made but only 1500 KNR9's. Stainless convertible Single Six with 9.5" barrel and cylinders in both .22 LR and .22 WMR. These were only made in the 1974-1975 time period, and so are all pre-warning and not liberty marked. This one has the rare white box, manual, 2/3 of the warranty card (the part the owner was supposed to fill in and mail back is missing and presumed sent back), red felt bag for the second cylinder, and white pasteboard box for same. Also has the brown factory oil wrap paper. The cardboard is all pretty tired with the white gun box corners back near the hinge worn through, and one tuck-in end flap missing from the ragged cylinder box. I question whether the serial number on the white gun box was adjusted - it looks like the suffix was overwritten in darker orange, but I don't know if that was before or after leaving the factory. The revolver is in real nice condition with the exception of some light dings on the bottom of the barrel as shown. There are scattered scuffs elsewhere, including on both cylinders, but they are pretty light. The beauty of stainless is that the light scuffs can be polished out, and Ruger may even offer that service.

Hard gun to find!! took me a couple of years to locate one.
Other than the S4 the S9 and KS9 are the hardest guns to find in Collector condition, especially total packages in my opinion.

So what is your asking price. I have really wanted a 9 1/2 inch Single Six Ruger Buntline for a long time, especially a SS Model. I probably can`t afford it but your gun sure looks nice, how does it shoot. I have had an unexplainable love affair with Long Barreled handguns, rifles, & shotguns since I was a young kid. But I really want one to shoot, hunt, & go plinking with.
