    Authentic single six 17 hmr/mach 2?

    Yes, please if you message me a picture of the mach 2 conversion cylinder. The one I'm looking at looks unused, did it require gunsmith fitting? Thanks much!

    Authentic single six 17 hmr/mach 2?

    Looked s/n up on ruger site. Says discontinued model(correct specs) but doesn’t say convertible or not. I guess the one I saw was a 17hmr with aftermarket 17 mach2cylinder. Probably not worth taking a chance on since it was the mach 2 I was really interested in a revolver. Taurus is too big...

    Authentic single six 17 hmr/mach 2?

    Hi, going out shopping..saw a single six, blue, with both cylinders. How can I tell if the mach 2 cylinder was an original ruger convertible cylinder with the gun or an aftermarket mach 2 cylinder?

    Midway has 25-20 wcf ammo

    I'd love to make them from 32-20, especially for field use I don't mind losing. But I've never been able to do it, I lose 30-50% of the cases to crushed shoulders ever time.

    Midway has 25-20 wcf ammo

    I just got a product notification last evening that midway has 25-20 wcf 86 grain ammunition in stock. About $119/box if I remember correctly. the brass alone is worth that!

    Rossi Lever Actions

    Jumping into this thread late. I have a stainless 16" bbl .454 casull model with the soft recoil pad and fiber optic sights, it loves the 300 gr hornadys. It's my go to nasty weather (snow,sleet, rain) deer gun. I added the top mount peep and wanted to do the springs, etc. Have the kit with...

    17 Mach 2 Bearcat?

    Thank you. It reminds me to always listen to the advice of experianced people. I'll stick with my bearcat and I too have plenty of shorts and longs and lower or std power lr's that do work well. The comment about the 17 mach 2 being louder also surprised me, I didn't expect or think about...

    Bearcat differences

    Wow, thank you. So if I can find a brass color trigger guard I can simply put it on my existing bearcat, needs a new ejector rod housing as well as the old one is scratched and dented. Thanks!

    17 Mach 2 Bearcat?

    Does anyone know of a gunsmith that converts .22 LR bearcats to 17 Mach 2? A new cylinder and barrel or liner would be required. Thinking smaller hole in pelts in a small trapline gun. Know about the Kimber semi-autos, huge Taurus guns and Rugers HMR's. Was looking for a single six...

    Bearcat differences

    Can anyone tell me what the differences are between the old brass trigger guard Bearcats and the newer ones? Is it just the transfer bar inclusion or something else. There were 22 mag conversions so is the bore diameter less desirable for shooting just 22 long rifle, longs and shorts? I...
