I have a Ruger Single Six that I purchased used a number of years ago and I received a 22 WMR cylinder with it. However, since it was used, I don't have the box the gun came in or any documentation with it and I don't believe I've ever used the Mag cylinder. I can't even remember for sure where i bought it....maybe from a dealer at a gun show. So, I'm getting interested in shooting some 22 Mags with it and I can't be absolutely sure the extra mag cylinder came from the factory with this gun. I don't see any markings on the cylinder that identify it as a Mag cylinder (someone wrote 22 mag on the cylinder box in ink) and also I see no markings on the gun that it was made as a convertible at the factory.
I read somewhere that if the cylinder fit in and locked up it was safe to shoot. What say you??? I would especially appreciate anyone with a firsthand knowledge of this situation (Ruger Single Six and 22 Mag cylinders, etc) to give me your advice. I don't want to take the time or incur the expense of sending this back to the factory unless there's no other way to check it out.
I will note that the marking on the left side of the gun says, "Ruger .22 CAL. SINGLE SIX" and not .22 LR like so many 22 caliber guns do.
