Item Description 1972 Ruger Single Six Three Screw with both 22LR and 22Mag cylinders. It is in original condition and has not had the safety upgrade done. good bore and internally very sound and in great condition. It does has some holster wear on the end of the barrel and a spot on the crane just forward of the cylinder. I held on to this with the intention of having Ruger refinish it. Just never got around to it and now have other things I would rather do.

Interested in selling the 22 mag cylinder?

Be careful in buying a cylinder from another gun for your Ruger, they are usually "Matched" to the gun it came with and allot of times will not work with another gun.

Yeah Ive got a new model that didnt have the mag cyl and would like one too. Ive read that they are "factory fitted" but cost is minimal for the fitting so it cant be too involved. Im thinking the factory smiths just verify that all cylinders line up, if not try another one. I think most will drop right in but I dont think Ruger will sell them to a gunsmith much less anyone else for fear of the potential legal issues involved.

Well called Ruger yesterday and they quoted like $68 for a new cylinder but 80 to install, plus shipping, way more than Im willing to pay for no more use Id get out of the extra cylinder.

I am not certain about this whole can of worms to be honest. Since it is a mass produced item, I can't imagine much difference between cylinders and they should all technically be the same, but I do know that most if not all manufactures require you to send in the gun when purchasing a new or replacement cylinder. There has to be some sort of "fitting" envolved however slight. The .22 Magnum and .22 LR cylinders for this gun are factory and have part of the serial number engraved on the front face,

I can tell you from experience that the cylinders Need to be timed for that gun...I bought one and found an extra cylinder at a flea market when I put the mag cylinder in and looked down the bbl with a borescope u could definately tell they did NOT line up, took it to a gunsmith and timed it and didnt cost alot but if I would have just slapped it in and shot it there would have been BAD issues. better to be safe than sorry

I am going to let this run till the weekend and take it down. I found a local gunsmith that will reblue it for me. Thanks!

A quality gunsmith can time a cylinder to your firearm. No absolute need to send it back to the factory.
