Recently I was given the honor of receiving my grandfather's Ruger Single Six .22 lr revolver. He purchased the gun back in 1954 and has had it for fifty-five years. Obviously, I'm very proud to have it and I want to take good care of it. That's why I'm wondering about whether or not I could get my hands on a .22 WMR cylinder for it, and whether or not it would cause a problem.
The revolver is old but it has the conversion kit on it. Were the guns back then specifically made only for one caliber, one cylinder? It doesn't seem like it considering you can simply slide the cylinder out, but I'm not going to act like a know-it-all on the subject. Is it possible to swap out the cylinders, and if so where could I get my hands on one?
