Picked up an Old Model Single Six 3 screw

[usncorpsman1]

This gun has a 5 digit serial number in the 30,000 range putting it's manufacture date in 1956. The gun has a great patina with no rust or pitting, just honest bluing wear. It is unconverted and everything appears original. I paid $280 for it. Good price? It is a great shooter.

usncorpsman1,

Yes a very nice old Ruger with honest ware.

I know you stole it! :mrgreen: Those grips alone are worth $125 of the $280!

And welcome to the RF.

As a Navy brat I have had a few Corpsman patch me up.

Looks like in then right light there is some of that Plumb coloring on the main frame that I personally think is AWESOME! Great Single-Six, and You're right. They are one heck of a great shooter! That bullet goes right where You tell it to. I like shooting little .22 shell boxes from long distance. The accuracy is addictive.
