Yeah, a Ruger Single 10 sells for $500 and some change; it'd probably cost you almost as much as that to have a gunsmith custom-make you a cylinder, adjust the pawl/timing/etc. If you just buy a new Single 10 from Ruger, you'll get the exact variant you want, and you'll have two stock guns for...

More the other way around, no? Potentially one could drop a spurred LCRx hammer into an LCR after cutting a slot through the back of the frame. That's the serialized part though, right? So definitely something you would want to get right on the first try. OldePhart, totally valid that they...

I once owned a S&W 49, a blued J-frame snub that was midway between the Chief's Special (standard hammer) and Centennial (hammer purely internal) options. It had a shrouding built up around the hammer such that only a small bit of the hammer stuck out, such that it was almost as snag-free as the...

Not to segue too much, but I just sold both a .32 Single Six and a T/C Contender to a member here, and was suggesting to him that he track down a T/C barrel in .32 H&R or .327 Fed. I was fixing to ask what would be a relatively low-pressure/breech-push cartridge that's in .480 that a T/C...

If your theme is "biggest bore for the frame", don't forget a Bearcat in .327:

Wow Steve, nice custom! The case colors are lovely, I just stick with stainless because I'm always paranoid about corrosion, especially since I often have to pack things away in the safe for a year or more while out of the country. So the more durable finish helps me sleep better at night...

Sixshot, any subjective comments on what the 700fps loads feel like to shoot? How's the amount of bark, blast, recoil? Subjectively, what I'm kinda looking for in a cartridge is something like how .45 ACP in an all-steel 1911 is, kind of a low-pitched boom at moderate volume, a slow steady roll...

I currently handload .32 H&R (or will once I move back to the US and buy a .327 Single Seven to replace the .32 Single Six I just sold on this forum), and have been pondering getting a nice trim sixgun of relatively large caliber for its size. I have pretty small hands, so was glad to have a...

Back to top, open to offers.

Thanks for the great details! Updating post accordingly. That being the case, do you think $775 price is reasonable given the early frame, or a touch high given the modifications? As posted, I'm open to counteroffers.

I'm moving out of the country and trying to cut down on the majority of stuff I'm storing while gone, and I don't want to leave some of my nicer and more collectible guns just sitting for a decade or more, and that includes this pretty little thing. I looked up the Rugher Serial# History for the...

My kid sister is getting married up in Minnesota, and since a Ruger Single Six was one of the gifts my grandfather gave to my da when he joined their family, I figure a SS would make a good wedding present. Thinking to probably get him a stainless 5.5". Along with the SS, I thought it'd be...
