Gents,
Firstly, my knowledge of Ruger firearms tends to be slim, any help would be appreciated.
I just acquired a nice Single Six from one of the auction sites. I've always wanted one and got this one delivered for $260. But there is a problem...
The SN is 65-51XXX, and it is a pre-warning revolver. It has a fluted cylinder that is unexpectedly a .22 mag and is etched with the last three numbers of the serial number. No .22 long rifle cylinder was included. It was marketed as a .22 long rifle which is what I wanted. The seller has a good return policy and I know they would take it back.
I'm strongly considering returning it and continuing the search for one with the .22 long rifle cylinder. I know I can buy a .22 LR cylinder, but they look fairly expensive, need to be fitted, and based on the research, it might be difficult to find one to fit my single six.
My question is there any extra value on this thing based on the .22 magnum cylinder that would make it worth me selling it, or is it just best to return it?
I'm also tempted to keep it, but I know I'll rarely shoot it due to the chambering. Any insight would be appreciated.
