Ruger Single Six
I set up with my buddy at a gun show today. I had an old model single six 4 5/8 barrel. I sold it for 300.00 w/box. The guy buying it said it was a white label box and worth good money. Is this true? I made a few bucks on it and will move on regardless. Just curious. Thanks for the help.

Are all Ruger Single Six barrels the same diameter. I believe the 22 mag bullet is around .003" larger in diameter than the .22LR. If a single six marketed to be sold w/o the 22 mag cylinder, then a barrel drilled for the 22 mag would not be the best barrel for that particular gun to be shooting .22LR in. 0 -
not sure what he means by a white label box ( the box by itself would bring around $30 ) but the 4 5/8" models will bring a premium over a 5 1/2 or 6 1/2 model. IF yours was just a plain single six 3 screw then 300 is about right 0 -
The box was the old black and red box with a white label on one end
designating the model, caliber,etc. The label was over the original end denoting such. He was talking 1200 dollars because of this label. 1200 because of a stupid label. I had his money and wished him well.

I think you both came out OK on the deal. He got a nice old gun--you got "top money" out of it.
