Just curious, Brass grip frames...

[Anonymous]

Gentlemen,
I have just acquired a Ruger Single Six .32 with a brass framed Birdshead Grip. I am not overly fond of this style grip. What is the value of the brass grip frame? I know that this series has a slightly smaller grip than the standard single six. My other one is marked XR-3 and is about 3/8's shorter than my old model Single Six .22, also marked XR-3 Alcoa. Below are some pics of the new shooter...

Thanks for listenin...

Welcome
They sold for ~$100. The Mfg has stopped production of Brass Grip Frames for the time being. The birds-head is probably the least desired of the brass grip frames produced.
What will it bring today $100-200 with the grips IMO.....and I would sell it w/ the grips because they do appear to be fit to this grip frame fairly good. Brass GF are cast bigger and not only do they have to be fit to the cylinder frame most need grips fit too, one way or the other. Brass-2-Grip or Grip-2-Brass.

Welcome to the forum.

That is a pretty nifty little .32 you picked up there.

If that were mine, I'd keep it like it is, for awhile, anyway. Maybe so in time you may want to swap out gripframes, maybe not.

Looks nice to me.
