New Member WA State

Post by Marksman »

Hello Everyone,
I used to collect Ruger 3 screw revolvers about 20+ years ago. Then I got into the gun business and stopped shooting. However, I re-discovered my passion for single action revolvers and nowadays I seem to find more time to play.
A customer brought in a 1957 Single Six, 5.5" barrel 22lr, that started it all again. In meantime I bought another 4 5/8" barreled gun that is still in transit. I am looking to add some older and more rare models to my collection. I don't see much on gunbroker, but recently found guns international, they had some more interesting products. If anyone can recommend any sites or has any guns for sale, I'd appreciate any offers. My main interest for the time being is 22lr or 22 mag chambered guns. Thanks so much. Mike

Welcome Mike, happy that you have joined us. I too like the early Single-Sixes and have a few in my collection. I also have a few that I am selling. One of them is a Charles Jerred factory engraved gun with its display case. I'll send you a PM tomorrow with some serial numbers.

Yes welcome to a great group of people. Ruger is spoken fluently here and we have fun. Jay Dawg lives fairly close to you and he may try to trade some items for Rugers. I know he really wants a set of marbles so if you have any he may be willing to deal
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
