1984 Don't you have a .22 Magnum cylinder with it?

 

[loiblb]

Yes, it has the .22 mag cylinder and walnut grips

"Super" was added in the 1960's to denote the version of the Single Six with sights adjustable for windage and elevation. The original Single Sixes sights were drift adjustable for windage only.

Is it often you have zero -no light to be seen between the forcing cone and the cylinder on any chamber?
The cylinder spins freely.

sounds like a nice gun, good info above, and the gap is better if closer but not too close that it "rubs", are there any marks on the face of the cylinder??? if too close and you get any amount of fouling or lead build up, it can start to rub, even get tight , jam things up...a gap of say .004-.006 " is ideal, have seen more, seen them rubbing also............easy enough to properly adjust the head space/cyl gap......
are the cylinders marked in any way with the "last" 3 digits of the guns serial number??? this tells you those are the proper cylinders for that particular gun......

Yes, the cylinders are matching the gun. I traded not knowing this fact, thanks.
I had a .22 Colt Trooper that the cylinder rubbed the barrel if it was not cleaned after a few cylinders worth of shots fired. A real pain to go plinking with.
