Hi all. New member here.
I recently saw a Gunbroker listing for a Ruger Bearcat with an extra 22 magnum cylinder. It says it's really rare and the BIN was like $1500.
My friend e-mailed customer service about whether one could be special ordered and they seem to deny they ever made these.
I don't know why they don't still offer them this way (or why they seem to deny they did). It seems like a pretty good idea to me.
Here's the e-mail and response from Ruger:

Comment / question:
Is the current "New Bearcat" available as a convertible, with an extra .22
magnum cylinder? I seem to recall that when the Bearcat was re-introduced
back in the 1990s that it was advertised as available with a .22 magnum
cylinder. Can this be had on a special order basis? Can Ruger fit a .22
magnum cylinder to a recent production New Bearcat if a customer requested
it? Thank you.
Response:
Unfortunately, this was not offered as a convertible model and therefore is
not a service we offer.
