But it is the fine fit that ensures proper timing.
Every cylinder that is made to fit your gun will just drop in the frame window. You may get lucky and find a cylinder that just "drops in" and works fine. There are several contact points on a cylinder that must be "fitted" within a pretty narrow tolerance range to ensure both safe and proper fit and function.Īnd to ensure a reasonable service life of the gun. I doubt this is, and has been the industry wide standard for a century+ simply because gunsmiths want the extra business. Generations of makers, and gunsmiths say revolver cylinders must be fitted to the gun. I do not know if there is a charge for this or not.Īs to "fitting the cylinder", while there are people who will tell you it's not needed, or no big deal, and their "spare" cylinders drop in and work fine, it's not something you can count on. Ruger can certainly tell you if your gun was made as a convertible model or not, from the ser#. If your gun has adjustable sights, then it is properly called a "Super Single Six". I just checked mine, which I got in the 80s, it has a 262-wxyz number, so I would think your 261-xxxx is from the same era.
NEW MODEL means the gun was made with the transfer bar system, which RUger went to in 1973.
