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.

Can anyone point me to a company that makes a decent cheaper red dot scope for my ruger with a 9.5 inch barrel? Also does anyone make a holster for one that accomodates for a scope?
Thanks0 -
Shooting the .22 Mag in the.22LR will cause damage to the gun or to you.Obvious math here, or the whole square peg in a round hole aspect. I haven't had the willy's to try it to see what would happen, and then again, I don't want to see what would happen. 0 -
And yes, the .22 LR will not shoot as well in a .22 Mag barrel.And the Single-Six was offered in .22LR only at one time. If the gun says .22LR only, then that's what it's for, and will not come with the .22 Mag cylinder. 0 -
Gentlemen, not to worry. You cannot chamber the Magnum in the standard cylinder nor a standard chamber. I don't think there is enough difference in the barrel to make much difference in accuracy.

Ah, but you can chamber a LR in a Magnum chamber. Not a good idea because the case can rupture with bad results. 0 -
The reason I was asking was per the catalog you can/could buy the single six w/o the magnum cylinder.If the barrel for these particular ones was actually bored for the 22 LR vs. one bored for 22LR and 22 magnum, they would be more accurate with 22 LR and maybe too tight for 22 magnum due to bullet diameter difference.In my convertible single six, 22LR accuracy is really bad, but 22 magnum is passible.In my S&W 22 magnum for which I have the 22LR cylinder the same results with 22LR are passible but accuracy with the 22 magnum is excellent. 0 -
Unless I am mistaken (and I might be) I think nominal bore diameter on the .22LR is .222", and the .22WMR is .224.As stated above, the .22WMR is a significantly larger case that .22LR and will not chambers in .22LR chambers. .22LR will fit in a .22WMR chamber, but it is a very loose fit, and ruptured cases, jammed in the chamber, are likely to result if firing is attempted. If you have a magnum chamber connected to a .22LR barrel, excessive pressures are likely and the results will depend entirely on the paraticular gun.For example, when Colt introduced the dual clinder Frontier Scout, they sent out a factory bulletin warning dealers thatr even though a Magnum cylinder might drop in and function, it should not be done on .22LR barrel guns. (They also crowned the Magnum barels, leaving the LR barrels relatively flat, so they could be distinguished at a glance. Combo guns had Magnum dimension barrels.)The lead bullet in a .22 LR will upset enough to engage the rifling in a .22 WMR barrel, but accuracy may suffer. Pressure problems aside, it doesn't help the acuracy of a Magnum bullet to swage it down in a LR barrel, and there will be above normal fouling.One problem with .22WMR fired in a short barrel is that the powder is desgned to burn in a longer barrel, so there is quite a bit of flash and blast from a short barrel as the powder unburned in the barrel ignites at the muzzle. 0 -
I know about the case differences, it was the barrel bore I was specifically referring to. I have never been able to get good accuracy in guns that had cylinders for both the LR and magnum chamberings when using the LR cylinder. I was thinking it was because they bored the barrel out to the magnum diameter vs. the LR diameter. In which case, if they bored the guns meant to be w/o the magnum cylinder smaller, than I should get one of these if all I plan to shoot is LR to get the maximum accuracy. 0 -
