Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I had the red bag but it got ruined in the flood of '06 so I threw it away. I read somewhere that these old three screw models that haven't been upgraded can go for a chunk of change. I bought mine in (I think) the fall of 1966. For sure, no later than '68.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
What are you telling us Don? Are you saying you had a Single Six and sold it?

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
No, if me or the better half were to sell ours, we know where our other cylinders are, but it seems that a lot of people have sold single sixes....."I have another cylinder, but just don't know where it's at"jerryd6818 wrote:What are you telling us Don?

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Jerry thats my understanding too. Mine is a new model I think I got it in '75. I have a friend who has or had a old model and Ruger tried to get him to send it back for upgrades but he wouldn't do it, sadly he's got early onset dementia , and I have no idea whats happened to his guns and knives.
I got the gun belt at the big flea mart in Canton Tex. about 10 years ago.
Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Anyone who has a three screw can still have the upgrade done if they want, but for a sale they very well might get more for a non upgraded three screw from the right person.......

This one is a 22 LR only but is an Old Model picked it up last year. Have the Bearcat revolver but wanted the larger single six. Both are fun to shoot.

When I got my Bearcat, I used the excuse that I needed it to train my Granddaughters with it.........

Always wanted a Bearcat. Just never did the deed.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I've got a Bearcat I traded for way back when I was in high school, sometime in either '63 or '64. The feller I got it from had shot a squirrel and jumped up from where he was sittin' against a tree to retrieve the critter and ended up shootin' himself in the leg. I guess he had cocked the little thing and just made a bad mistake. As soon as he got over his gun shot, the little Ruger was up for trade. Hard to imagine that was over 50 years ago.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I used to have a Ruger Single Six but no longer; nice old handguns. I do have one Ruger Blackhawk OM 3-screw that is all original, this 41 MAG. Love shooting this one, but only shoot handloads as factory ammo is hardly stocked around here and very high priced when you do find it. OH

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Those are some mighty fine looking revolvers. Mighty fine! A Ruger single six is on the short list of toys that need to come live at my house.

As Steve said, those are fine looking guns.
Here's a couple of old cleaning rods.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Joe, those look a lot like the Marble's match safes. Look to be very well made.The book they rest on is a must have if you have an interest in the rifle. A great reference book for old rifles, scopes, sights and just a good read front to back too.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Thank you, Steve.
Yes, these cleaning rods are very well designed and machined. The rods will rotate in the bore.
The book: I haven't looked in that book in years. Your remarks made me look at it again and if someone wanted a bit of education on the rifle get your education here.

Most of that group would still be tight at 250 yds, theoretically.
