Any takers at $2150 shipped?

I finally got the cylinder pin out. It was really stuck and the cylinder was seized on the pin. After exhausting all the aforementioned solutions to no avail, I had to drive the pin out from the hammer end using a small wooden dowel as a last resort. Not only was there crud on the pin, but the pin h...

So, went back to the range with some Federal ammo but only saw a marginal improvement. But I was shooting from a folding table shared with another shooter at a club shoot. A problem cropped up with trigger; every few rounds the trigger would lock forward as if the safety was on. Cycling the bolt, ej...

Thanks for the advice on loosening the center pin. If all else fails, a little blow drier heat has also worked for me. I'm a Gun Juice fan so I'll be trying an application of that to start with. I should have looked at the grips on that engraved gun, which are the same vintage, sooner. The emblems a...

Good eye, Contender, and thanks for pointing that out. Now that you mention it, they do look a little off. The underside should tell the story. Can't wait to pull them off.

For your amusement, here is the description. There was no extra barrel included. Written, apparently, by an employee in training. Description: This auction is for a Ruger Single-Six chambered in .22 Long Rifle, manufactured in 1973 and featuring the highly desirable three-screw configuration with no...

Won this on Gunbroker. The description in the ad was the goofiest, most off-the-wall inaccurate mess I have ever seen. I suppose it is unlikely that it was shipped with those grips but the crud around the screw indicates that they have been on it for a long time. It's in great shape but very stiff -...

What a great thread and what a pair, Jay!

Howdy Jay,

Unfortunately, I did not follow up on this one.
But, based on recent revelations, I believe it is very possible that Linda made a mistake, as Chad suggested.

I did get a decent steel cylinder for it but now I'm hoping that Ruger resumes issuing LOAs. Fingers crossed.
