Chuck 100 yd
Hunter
I bought an OM Single Six today. It is unconverted and in very nice condition.S.N. 20-588xx and is marked Ruger .22 Cal. Single-Six . It came with a .22 LR cylinder mounted and an extra .22 Mag cylinder in a bag, No box or papers. The Mag cylinders number does not match but looks to be correct vintage and is a very good fit although I have not fired it yet.
My question is did this gun come as a convertible from Ruger? Being marked .22 and not LR or Mag. I assume that it was. Were the barrels of SS`s of that vintage intended to shoot the .22 mag.? Possibly the original mag. cylinder was lost and replaced with another so the numbers don`t match???
