Selling a pair of 3 screw single-action Rugers my dad bought in the 1950s or 1960s. One is .357 Magnum, the other in .22LR. They shoot silky smooth and are quite collectible. There was a factory recall to make them "safer" which would have resulted in making them have a far less smooth action. These two have not been "repaired" by the factory, and are therefore in "very dangerous" original silky-smooth firing condition. I learned to shoot on the .22LR in the 1960s, didn't kill me. My dad called them his "working guns". He carried the 357, I carried the .22. We shot the .22 some, the 357 rarely. He carried the .357 in his airplane in case he went down in the backwoods and needed to shoot something to eat. I am selling them only as a pair for 650$, which is a great deal for someone. I will throw in the holster and any ammo I have.

Currently firm on price, and not willing to separate.

Meet to view and transfer at FFL of my choice per RCW 9.41.113, new owner pays transfer fees. I'll find somewhere convenient and cheap as I can. https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.113

I would be willing to consider trading for the following, or make me an offer. Note that I am moving somewhere I can't take handguns or semi-auto black guns, so don't bother asking:
Mossberg 590 Mariner
Remington 870 Marine Magnum
Ruger Gunsite Scout
Savage Scout

Nice pistols, I'd buy them if you were down in Oregon!

Must be the safest place in the world.
Hard to tell from just the ad copy, but you don't sound super excited about it... ?

This is a smokin' deal. The .357 could fetch that much by itself w the right buyer.

No offense, but this 357 is not a "Flattop". It was made in 68 and has the raised "ears" to protect the sight. The Single Six, which is the fixed sight version was made in 1960.

Very nice guns at a great price. GLWS.

Thanks for the info, I am not a collector and am certainly no expert. I defer to your knowledge. Interested parties take note!

Absolutely true. I am only selling because I can't take them with me.

Are you sure the .357 3 screw is a "flat top", not just a regular om unconverted 3 screw?

I will change the ad, someone pointed out that it isn't a "flattop". My bad.
