Well, finally was able to contact an individual who had a particularly rare Old Model Super Single-Six, but found out his entire revolver collection was sold to Lynn Laudise several years ago. Well, with Lynn now gone also, I've got a situation.
The gun in question was an old model Super Single-Six, 6-1/2" barrel, serial number 555430. This gun is the only one I know of that was shipped as model SC6M, .22 Mag. only, although the factory did say it was one of 15 SC6M on the list that was shipped to a distributor (and 1 of 25 ordered by the distributor). Anybody know who's got it today? And if not, does anybody know if Lynn's FFL was dropped after he passed away or did somebody carry it on? Please send a PM if anybody knows as I would really like to track that gun down for a pic.
My worry is, somebody probably didn't realize the significance of the gun and its probably being used as a snake shooter now and laying under a pickup seat.
Gun #2 I'm looking for is an RCA stag Bisley .32 Mag. with adjustable sights. Most of the RCA stag Bisleys had the drift adjustable rear sight, but 8 of the 182 made were the model RB-32A with adjustable sights and fluted cylinder. These last 8 were the last of the RCA shipments to fill out final orders.
Lastly, does anybody know where the factory "second" Super Single-Six went that was on an internet auction recently? It was #505266 and had a beautifully plum frame (the reason Ruger is believed to have plated a little over a hundred Super Single-Sixes from this time period).
Let me know!
Thanks for the help!
