Ruger Security Six, is this revolver OK?

[daveag.]

The only question is, how does it group? I bought a NIB Ruger rifle from a gun dealer several years ago. Scrubbed, brushed, oiled the bore for hours. Still rusty. Tried to return to dealer. They refused. Said I could have used it in a crime. This rifle is a 77/50. Simply wasn't cleaned after testing in Ruger's factory. I went to Walmart and bought a 700 ML. This bore was glass smooth. The Ruger out shot it! It grouped tightly, while Remington was bad. Sold the 700. I tagged many deer with the rusty 77/50.

OP informed me that he went back to look at the gun and it was sold.
Hope one of you got it.

I doubt it Terry ~ OP is in Europe ….. wouldn't have a clue how to get that gun to Illinois or what it'd cost.

hittman,
My bad!!
I was referring to this low back SS revolver not the German gun. Some how I posted in Onty's post instead of the correct one.
Baxter 6551 is the poster on the 2 barreled low back who seen the gun at his buddy's shop and is who I sent the PM's to. I have all his PM's if anyone needs to see them.
Plain and simple I screwed up in my posting . Sorry for any confusion I caused.

Low Back (150- s/n), Stainless, Police Service Six and Speed Six

Have been looking for one of each, barrel length not a concern (as long as it is an original barrel), would like it to be in good condition (but I can refurbish) to fill holes in my Six series collection. People in the know (me included) don't think Ruger made any but you never know.

Buy in the USA. You can always drive there to settle disputes.

Terry,
I talked to Baxter 6551 and the gun had been sold (the gun was not his). That said, WMG (Bob) and I pretty much decided that that particular gun was probably a 4" model at birth and someone put on a 6" stainless barrel since so far only 2 6" stainless low backs have been found so far.
