I had given my Ruger 3-screw Single Six Magnum to my oldest son last year. So, I went to a local gun store yesterday and noticed that they had used a 3-screw .22 Mag Single Six (1971) at this store. The revolver was missing some blue on one side of the barrel but otherwise was in excellent condition. The finish was not marred just missing some blue.
I went back today and bought the Single Six. It was quite dirty but had not rusted. I got it home and cleaned it up and heated some cold blue and the barrel with hot water and cold blued the barrel. It came out perfect! The Ruger now looks like a new gun except for slight wear in a couple of unimportant places. The Ruger was priced right because it was dirty and needed the bluing but now I have a really nice, cherry 3-screw Single Six 3-screw, .22 Magnum for a good price.
