Coup d'etat
Bearcat
Greetings everyone. I just recently purchased a Ruger Super Single-Six with a 22lr cylinder, but I did not get the 22 Magnum cylinder.
According to the serial number (#514713) the revolver was made in 1965, (second year of production?). It looks virtually unfired.
My question is when did Ruger start shipping Super Single-Six revolvers with a 22 Mag cylinder, and why is the face different?
Would a 1965 Super Single-Six even come with a 22 Mag cylinder?
There is no "star" or "house" stamped on the frame flat below the cylinder.
I've been looking on eBay and GunBroker for a 22 mag cylinder, and I know that the early ones were fluted, but the cylinder face looks different on many of the pics that I've seen on the internet.
Below are two pics to explain what I mean.
If you could direct me to a past post that I can research that would be wonderful, or perhaps you can explain on this thread.
Many thanks in advance

(Yes it does have the "Polychoke" vent rib installed but I think I'm going to leave it on)
