They are fitted to each gun so in order to sell it you'll need the total length of the cylinder. Also it should have three numbers scribed onto the end, that is the last three numbers of the original gun's serial number.
If it is the .22 WMR cylinder that is worth more than the .22LR cylinder. Check on rugerforum.com for current values, I think they are about $50.

I have one too- .22 mag from my single six that I traded some 14 years ago. A local guy tried to see if it would fit his, and I cant remember if the smith just never looked at it or there was some other issue, though I'm leaning towards them recommending the pistol and cylinder be sent to ruger for fitting, but I heard they don't fit used cylinders, they'd sell you a new one instead.
For that reason and experience, I agree with Wincheringen.

Many will drop in and fit fine. You have to measure if it will fit any particular frame. If it is longer it can be fitted. If it's too short it's easier to keep looking. Ruger won't fit a non original cylinder. Rugerforum.com is the site you want for value and likely buyers.
