Found A Clean Single Six

[Boxhead]

And fairly priced to boot. Looks to date to 1959 and very little used. The NM next to it was $595...

I'm assuming it came home with you!!!!!!! Great price on a really good .22 LR. It was made before the change to a larger bore diameter, and will be very accurate.

Beautiful revolver!

It seems you got the better end of that deal.

Congratulations!

Great deal!

 

[hittman]

Is that a 4 5/8 inch barrel??

If so …. That's an extra sweet deal.

Congrats.

Very nice, is it yours

THEFT! AND ASSUMES AN RSS4 BOX!

YOWZZZZAAAAA

Guess they figured it was a "USED" gun and worth much less than a new gun.... Darwin's Law again. Glad you grabbed it...!!!

J.

 

[Boxhead]

Thanks gents. I was stunned when I saw it. It is here next to me and, yes, 4 5/8".

 

[weaselmeatgravy]

Yeah, let's see the business end of the box!

The box could be worth the $399 by itself!

 

[hittman]

Yeah, that may be worth TWICE what you paid for it. Happy for you ….. always good to get a "win" once in a while!

 

[weaselmeatgravy]

The gun by itself is worth twice. Box (if made as a RSS4 box) and papers - double again.

 

[Wyandot Jim]

Very nice for a GREAT price and as stated the early 45/8" are hard to come by.

 

[cmysix]

nice

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

Awesome find! I've always wondered why Ruger didn't produce more in that barrel length? Seems like to me, that they surely would have sold well...

Ain't that the truth !! Some angel must have been watching over you that day.......that is "beyond a Good deal". God Bless America!!

Please re-read Contender's post. You probably already know this, but this is not a gun you want to buy a 22 mag cylinder on eBay for....no, no. He is right about the even better accuracy..

You did well, great looking Ruger revolver!

I was looking at the paperwork that was with the gun....When was the last time you saw the word: "Guarantee"........probably over 50 years ago, as everything new now comes with a "Warranty". Interesting how this gun came only with a 1 Year Guarantee. ??? Gee, it makes you think, this gun is Waaaaaayyyyyy past it's guarantee or even warranty period for that matter......I wonder if it is still any good ???
