I just acquired a Ruger single six revolver in .22/.22 magnum. It is a 3 screw and I think it is from the 1970's. In wax paper It has original box with a 69.00 dollar price tag and is wrapped in wax paper. Does anybody know how much it is worth?
 
1971-
Sounds like a nice clean gun with 2 cylinders, W/ box ~ $600-700,,, IMO
Converted or Original?

Yes good detailed pictures will definitely help.
I find there worth what another will pay and usually Single Six's sell for close to what a New Model sells for.
With that said, I would rather have a Unconverted Old Model vs NM.
 
Here are some pics of the gun.

With the condition issues it's a $400 gun if the bore is good, and $100 of the $400 is the value of the cylinder that is in the box ,,, IF it doesn't have issues.
 
A new single six is over $800 now. I'd rather have an old one if it's in good shape. It's a $600 gun around here.

Looks like I need to take a road trip to Utah if the prices are that cheap there. There are some cosmetic issues but that's a $550-600 package here.
 
As noted,, that gun is worth more than $400 in most places. Even the RENE Price Guide has it for more money. ( And many feel the Guide is often too low.) Easily $550 or more depending upon a hands on close up inspection.
 
Around Here ?
Trip to Utah ?
RENE ?

I'm NO EXPERT,,,, but I can do a simple search,,, and when it comes to Single Sixes they just don't bring over $600.
Yes a few do,,, but those are the exception, and usually there is an obvious reason.
My original valuation, $600-700, figuring, Gun $500, nice box $75, extra cylinder $100, and then +/- $25-50 give or take.

Let me help,
A simple search on Gunbroker.com ,,, Ruger Single Six
on the Completed Items search,
results in 54 pages to peruse. Some sold & some not, but 54 pages…🙄


FWIW: I'm no EXPERT,,, but I am seriously infected with over 20 Single Sixes.😜❤️

The first ruger 22 I ever bought was in I957 and it was 69.00 and I was 16 and had to get my mother to sign for me. I still have it and I have shot a pickup truck load of 22's through it. No tax no paperwork.
 
Love that box with the original price tag. 😁 How far we have come.

RENE puts an excellent copy of that convertible at $505 with $110 for a nice box.

As mentioned that one looks like a nice package. Good score! ;)

I have a 1970 3screw convertible never fired with paperwork and original box with the grease markings on box. Some say rhe box is worth more than the pistol.
