confusion regarding barrel diameter of OM ruger .22's
Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2011 9:35 pm
It is my understanding that the barrel diameter of Ruger single-sixes furnished with the extra magnum cylinder is .224 to accomodate the larger diameter magnum cartridge. My question is if your revolver is an older model single-six that was not furnished with an extra mag cylinder is the barrel diameter .223 for the 22lr and if so, if you request a mag cylinder from ruger to be fitted, can you shoot the larger diameter magnum in the smaller dia 22lr barrel?
