Wonder if you could get Ruger to short chamber a 22 LR stainless cylinder. Here is my line of thinking. Ruger reams cylinder maybe half the case length. Then have Borchart finish chamber the cylinder as they obviously have the tooling. Longshot but a possible way to make the gun whole.
Good luck. Only factory option was with two cylinder hunter 17HMR and 17 M2. Don't see anyone breaking that up. There is this option for new.

I wonder if there ain't some folks banking on another Marlin collapse. Thinking these are the last Marlins and will shortly be worth their weight in gold. Most everyone with a slight amount of intelligence should realize Ruger is all in on Marlin and this is the beginning of a long successful run.
Pin probable fit a bit loose or if your not the original owner it might of been walking out. Old trick to a loose or walking pin is to bend slightly before installing. Had a pin in a mauser sight once that took about 15 hours spread out over various attempts to remove it had such a bend. New pin...
Looking for some new nickel plated 44 special brass 100 pieces. Open to all brands but hornady is probably the least preferred and first choice would be starline. Willing to pay fair market but if you think your brass is worth gold don't offer. Not offering trades but if your looking for...
Unfortunately on the newer guns we get to experience that level of service a bit too often. I love my Rugers. But of the last 9 I bought 6 of them were returned for repair 3 had to be outright replaced. Glad the OP got taken care, but that barrel should of never made it on a gun.
Starting the hunt early for two specific alpha cats. Just wonder what the thoughts are on finding them. Too scattered among non collectors to find specific serial numbers easily? Or locked up tight by serious collectors? Too make matters worse I want decent condition but want shooters. Don't...
BUY IT NOW. I got one extremely accurate with every load I have tried. Mine is also one the early ones with the 22 inch barrel and amazing wood. Just something about that big ol hole in the barrel, had to have one. Had the #1 itch for years and the 475 made me finally scratch it.
Got a set of real nice Lett Grips. Forget what the wood was called. Laminate black and very dark goldish brown appear black unless in brighter light.Have the silver SR medallion on right panel. Very fine checkering. Would look real nice on a stainless gun.Includes set of black allenhead screws...
