buying used

[jmnielsen]

Ruger Single-Six.

I will add another vote for a single six. Love being able to shoot .22LR or .22WMR at the quick switch of a cyclinder. Mine has been quite accurate as well.

Buy a good .357, then buy yourself some 38 wadcutter loads, and shoot them instead of buying a 22 cheapie that'll likely let you down.

I don't believe you'll find an SP101 for $300.00.

While not a comprehensive list, here is what I like to check for...you can PM me with questions if you like:

- Does it lock up tight?
- Any issues with cylinder end shake/play?
- Timing correct?
- Top strap have any flame cutting?
- Headspace ok?
- bore/cylinder good?
- screws show signs of "buggering" or someone tampering with the internals?
- Any problems with "push off"?
- Damage to forcing cone?
