Title: Is this a Single-six?
Post by: TeacherMan on January 19, 2015, 09:43:25 PM: Is this a Ruger singer six? Or just a Ruger 17hmr? Reason I'm asking I'm wanting to see if I can buy the 17M2 cylinder for it. If anyone know the answer is love to hear it. Thanks!

No .17m2.

I've never tried but I think there's more to it than just buying another cylinder for them too. Sonething about timing and stuff. Not sure. Just seems I've been told that as part of a threat/warning to not lose the extra cylinders I have.

I've never seen a 17 mach 2 cylinder, but some say they exsist.
