22mag ammo, I can live with it being mag only. Is this correct? If I can locate an adequate source for. 22 Magnum only (even though base does not say anything about magnum and the cylinder is totally unmarked). I called Ruger and they advised it is a 1965 produced Single Six Magnum. It now appears I had an old fluted (unmarked) magnum cylinder. However, something wasn't right when I loaded the first cartridge.

Went about locating 22lr ammo and getting ready to go to range for first shooting in a very long time. I cleaned it up, did a quick web search and concluded I had an old single six convertible with a fluted (unmarked) cylinder - so must be the standard cylinder. Father didn't have the manual anymore and he had only one cylinder (he didn't remember if it ever had 2 cylinders, he got it in trade from a retired small town cop). 22 CAL SINGLE-SIX' with blackhawk logo and walnut handle. It is an old model 3 screw Single Six that has on the left side of the body 'RUGER. My father just gave me the old 22 pistol I plinked around with when I was a teenager (40+ years ago).
