OM Single Six

[1gunsnotenough]

Guys I keep running across Single Actions which I know nothing about. What type is this one. Serial number puts it at 1957-1958. Has Magnum Cylinder. What is it worth?
Thanks

To determine Type a serial# is required. 1957-1958 could be anything from a Type 3 flatgate (which it obviously isn't) to a Type 2 roundgate.

Ruger started making the 22 Mag. in 1959. They said they would fit a Mag. cylinder to a Single-Six from serial number 150,000 and above.

I can't see the serial number too tell what you have. As this is a 5 1/2 in barrel it could be a convertible if it was made in 1961, and the 22 L.R. cylinder is missing.

It would help if we knew the serial number.

I only have numbers 72XXX. I meant it has magnum cylinder as well as LR cylinder.

Does the Mag cylinder have the last 3 numbers of the gun's serial number on the front of the cylinder? If so are they stamped on scratched?

Serial # makes it a Type 1 roundgate well before the invention of the convertible. Mag cylinder was probably added later by one of the owners.

I haven't had a chance to put my hands on it yet. trying to determine value before I pursue it farther.

Configuration measurements say that that 72xxx gun should not be fired with a 22 mag round. Mag cylinders OK after 150,000 SN due to barrel dimensions of bore.

as said above, thats just a NICE looking roundgate, that has a ""extra" 22 mag cylinder, intended for ANOTHER gun, NOT this one........pieces ,parts...

between $300 and $400 as it sets..............
