I have a Pre-1973 three screw Single -Six that I have always assumed to be .22LR,
Well, today, I was at the range shooting it when I noticed that the cases were splitting and buldging.I have not shot this gun in quite awhile (read at least 10 years). I do not remember if the cases always did this or not!! I happened to mention this to the range master who took a look. After examining the gun, he pronounced it to be a .22MAG!!
How do I find out for sure??
the only marking on the gun is on the left side of the frame:
Ruger.22CAL
SINGLE-SIX
It has a standard Single-Six serial number from about 1972, according to the Ruger web site. (21-48XXX)
What manner of beast do I actually have??
It has always been my understanding that the .22WMR models were the Super Single Six!!
