I just got a Ruger 3 screw Single Six. The serial number has a 20- Prefix. It is not marked magnum anywhere, but it is. The cylinder is Fluted and is chambered for 22 Mag. Did Ruger make a Fluted 22 Mag cylinder? Did someone rechamber the 22 LR cylinder? Is it a replacement cylinder?Roy

  Can't answer most of your questions but my Ruger Super Single Six, three screw has a fluted Mag cylinder. I bought it new in 1971.

  Thanks for all the responses. The gun is not marked 22 Mag, so I'm guessing it might have been a convertible and the LR cylinder got lost.
