WTB 22LR SS6 cylinder

[cpthowdy]

Somewhere in my travels, I have misplaced the 22 LR cylinder for my SS6 9.5 inch convertible. Is there another available? I bought this Ruger in 1973 while in the Army. Please let me know. Thank you.

I have a blue old model 22lr cylinder I can sell you. Send me your cylinder specs.

Being you say you got this gun in 1973 that would be a transistion model ( new model?) and have the old model cylinders in it, bet your mag cylinder is NOT rollmarked "Magnum" and has flutes.....so to be "correct" you need the old model 22 cal ( LR) cylnder that has the firing pin groove going around the rear , from chamber to chamber...good luck, they are out there..........measure your cylinder that is NOW in the gun for an overall length, I"m guessing around 1.620" nominal............ 8) :roll: :wink:

PS. if your 9 1/2 inch is in fact an OM model, 3 screw, left over, you got a good one there,,,either way ,,,a 'keeper' :wink:

just what is YOUR gun marked as on the cylinder frame?? is it a New model (pinned gun ) or an Old model 3 screw variation???? was wondering just what kind of box the New model (long barrel) would have come in as the 1973 New models basically only had TWO boxes ( the red /white short RST box and the longer red /white BN36 box) all they did was change the end labels............

JMHO . . . I'd hesitate to ever send an Old Model back to the factory for anything. You never know what might happen. JMHO

Yes very true,, but I was thinking 1973 it would be a New Model, so safe to send in but you're right IF it's a old model then no way
