contender said:Yes,,, Ruger did make brass framed SINGLE CYLINDER GUNS IN 45 COLT. They did not,, according to all KNOWN information make any factory CONVERTIBLE .45 cal guns with 2 cylinders and brass grip frames.
The gun mentioned above came with 2 cylinders,, of which are numbered to the gun. It came with a spare g/f & grips, trigger too. I, along with a few others feel it will "letter" as a convertible,, but NOT a brass framed convertible.
Just a little hair-splitting clarification there. I know that's what you meant.
I agree as to its likely factory origin as a non-brass convertible, but a letter will resolve all this.
For what it's worth, there have been quite a few guns that have had the extra cylinders retrofitted complete with the appropriate serial number digits added . . . somehow or other. :roll: I am not suggesting this is the case here.
With Ruger, never say "never". :wink:
