It's been a while since I've posted any new goodies. Nothing spectacular, mind you, but a few examples that made me smile.
Old Model Super Single-Six with a 4-5/8" barrel. A "mistake" was made while drilling the hole for the front sight screw on a 5-1/2" gun so the barrel was sawn off and sight was attached.
Inspection of the muzzle confirms "sumptin' funny is going on"...
I found this .32 mag in a local shop several months ago. The previous owner did some fine gunsmithing..... and managed to totally ring the cylinder and also install the wrong screw at the front of the trigger guard which caused another ring on the cylinder :shock: Ah, but the gun is one of the elusive "SSM" marked examples.
I've already "retimed" the cylinder latch and replaced the pawl and tuned the trigger a bit. This one's cylinder will get refinished, as well.
Last, but far from the least is this OM Bearcat.
It's a late '64/early '65 example (I need to get the ship date from Ruger). Nothing out of the ordinary except for one "squiggle" stamped into the cylinder frame in front of the trigger guard.
All in all, I'm quite pleased!
Muchos thanks to TL from Oregon. And, by golly, I did happen to have a box.....
