Why not send it to Ruger and have them install a new 6" barrel and return the old so you have both?Thanks for the kind remarks/emoji on dad's old rig.
I'll be sending it to Bowen to chop it down to 6" after Xmas.
Might have to run .44 specials w my bad wrist LOL....but gonna blast the heck out of it one way or the other

I think I would rather have work done by the Bowen shop than by the factory.

Maybe? It looks like honest wear from being carried and used. When I look at a used firearm, honest wear, no rust or putting and not beat up from abuse and neglect, stands out. On can look at the grips and the high edge wear and see this revolver was cared for. If it was my Father, that put the miles on it, I would not change a thing. It is a thing of beauty for what it is and who it came from. This revolver tells a story.

My latest handgun purchase. A Model 1891 Remington Target Pistol. .22LR caliber, with 10" half octagon barrel. Customized by Arthur Hubalek of Brooklyn, NY in the early 1900's. Hubalek modified the grip shape changing it from an open one piece lower tangs to a 3 piece target grip with larger, heavier, weighted lower grip frame, and custom stocks and checkering. He also modified the sights, and tuned the trigger.
Grip panels removed to show the custom frame and filler block for grip mounting.

That's going to be hard to follow.
Congrats on a fine and truly unique piece.
I am green with envy!
I would have to shoot that baby, right or wrong! (At least a little....probably alot).

What a classical, stylish, and beautifully made turn-of-the century .22 target pistol!

Yes, it will get fired plenty. As will the 1867 in .50CF once I finish building more ammo.

Aha...I'm not the sharpest tack on the sea...but I see a pattern!
I've always wanted one of the .22 Target Rolling Block pistols, but the .50 CF came up at a local gun shop, and price was really great. A friend found it, and said the store had two, so we each bought one. Then after years of searching for one of the target pistols, a week later the 1891 Target Pistol shows up! Always my luck. Had it come up first I probably wouldn't have bought the 1867. But I like it, so I'll just hang onto both now.

Here's it's big brother I bought recently also. The Model 1867 Navy Remington .50 CF.
And the .50 Navy cartridge.
When my Dad passed away some years ago I was going through his safe and found the below. I think he actually made it. It was in 22 short and actually pretty accurate for what it was. What you're showing is the closest thing to it. I took it apart as it looked pretty home made at the time.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's a Stevens Crackshot rifle that someone converted to be a pistol. Which means it's an illegal weapon, and could result in big trouble from ATF for anyone who possesses it! If it was mine I'd take the barrel off it, and toss the barrel away!

I have been into firearms, shooting, hunting and collecting since I was a preteen and I am in my late fifties now. I don’t really care for the new stuff. I love walnut and steel. This caught my eye. I have been on the look out for a Hammerli for a while. I place a bid and won the auction. Pretty much new in the box Hammerli 212. It may be my new favorite.
