Back a few years ago, Sports South sold off a batch of Ruger Bisley Single Sixes.
These were reputed to have been built from "left over parts." I've never tried to confirm this. I lean towards it being accurate as a few left the factory two toned.
I bought a few of these for future base guns.
Needless to say, that never happened.
Today, I took one out to the bench and was surprised at the accuracy. Much more to this story after Tim posts pictures...

This gun did not come from the factory with the Magnum Cylinder.
When Dave Clements was retiring, I posted most of his clearance items here. Also, bought some myself.
In the mix was five S6 Cylinders. One of these was a New Magnum Cylinder without any serial numbers on it.
It fit the gun exactly as the LR Cylinder, including a .004" Barrel Gap and zero endshake.
So, I installed a Silhouette Front Sight and some aftermarket grips. Off to the bench.
At the end of the session, I can honestly say this is my most accurate S6. The Magnum Cylinder grouped as well as my FA97. The LR generally shot about 1-1.5", which is still excellent.
This was all at 20 yards.
I'll order a #5 Locking Base Pin and leave it alone...

P.S. That Winchester 22 Magnum Ammo is marked $5.39. I don't know how many years it's been here...

It's very rural here, so my range is in my back yard. A shooting bench built under my tractor shed with a mound 72 yards east.
But, yep, the results were excellent...

The only time I have left over parts is when I’m working on my truck.

I appreciate it guys. With all my customs and Freedom Arms, nothing is as thrilling as a factory gun shooting like this.
This one was purchased before the Covid Hysteria for around $400. I'm afraid those days are over, but they're fun to remember...

Question, are the Bisley grip frames on the Single-Sixes the same size as the BH's ? Never saw a comment on this, wonder..

Yes, Bisley grip frames are all the same size.
