I got $1450 out of it. Really thought it would bring more. The buyer already had another as well. Someone here in AZ wanted it if it was one number off of the two they had but it was not. Amazing that other people like my dad held on to them unfired. My dad did not know about the recall...

its sold

Drop to $1500

Dropped the price to $1750.

They made 1000 of these before they had a recall for the .22 mag cylinder. Over 600 were returned. This one is NIB 100% with the Outer and inner boxes, all the paperwork and the recall letter asking for the cylinder to be returned for a $39 refund. As good as it gets and very rare this...

Wow that was a score! And I've got to say that is a very good looking pistol with the birds head grip.

Yeah I thought that was funny. So did my dad. I remember him when he told me about the $40 to return it. Said "like Hell I will". He was something. So Glad that I got the 1964 Bearcat that was his carry piece while hunting for 50 yrs. We all have memories that stick out, that's mine.

That's what I thought, a DIY job. But man what a crazy rare Ruger with the 22mag cylinder to chose to jazz up on your own. It would have to de-value it I would think.

I was not aware of that edition. But by the S/N given it is the same as mine, a 1993/94 Bearcat Convertible 22lr/22mg with two cylinders and under a recall. SN 93-008XX. Was the 50th Anniversary Bearcat - 2008 with the 22 mag cylinder? His has a picture with the Mag cylinder with gold filled...

Oddly there was another Bearcat convertible posted in Guns & Ammo Nov 2022 edition identification and values section. Someone wanted information on theirs and it had gold filled engraving and serial numbers. They believed it unfired but had no knowledge of the gold accents. Has anyone seen...

Still holding on to them. Not sure yet. Cant go wrong sitting on them. I really need to get out and shoot the 1964 Bearcat. That's the only one I will shoot. All the NIB need to stay that way.

Glad they will have one to shoot and make memories with. Some of my best memories are shooting with family. My dad carried the 1964 Bearcat on every hunt and that picture of him with it really stands out when I think of him. Its great that we as a group that share the same love of firearms...

Is'nt that just so cool. I think I have a reciept for my dads 1964 bearcat that is about the same.

Thanks, What do you think one of these would have cost in 1964? Less than $50 I would think?

OH OK now I see because the rear sight is not adjustable. Makes sense now. thanks
