Oldie but goodie............

This is my Ruger Single Six Convertible with the magnum cylinder. I bought it as a used gun about 42 years ago. If I remember correctly, I paid the (then) princely sum of
$65.00 for it! The first time I shot it using the magnum cylinder, I did not have in ear plugs........big mistake! It took my hearing about 2 days to recover! I'm guessing that the first owner added the Micro sights but I think the grips came with the gun. They are marked with the guns serial number on the back and fit perfectly. The PO also must have had an action job done on it as it has the best single action trigger pull that I have ever experienced! The dark red/purple tint on the receiver was the result of some hardness issues that Ruger had early on in the guns production. This one was born in
1956 I believe.
