Anyone Recognize this 22 Revolver Cylinder?

[Double Action]

I'm going through years of parts and projects and found this 22 cylinder. I can't find a factory mark on it anywhere. Anyone recognize what revolver this came from?

Those numbers etched on the face might be part of a serial number, if that helps. Looks like 635 to me. Do you have any .22 revolvers? Also, it might be a .22 Magnum cylinder.

Looks like a Ruger Single Six cylinder. For the convertible guns they'd etch the last three numbers of the serial number into the cylinders to ensure the cylinder matched the gun.

Single action for sure. Ruger or Heritage Rough Rider are the most likely suspects.

The numbers don't look like they were put on in a factory. They are usually stamped and not chicken scratch.

My dad's Single Six cylinders were electropenciled. My assumption is by the factory because the manual mentions that the cylinders are marked with the serial number.

I'm thinking Ruger or Colt.

Thanks for the replies. Just checked, 22 magnum doesn’t fit, so it’s 22LR single action. Just need to figure out which long-gone gun it belonged to.

List the ones you used to have. I'm going with Ruger Single Six.

Multiple pieces from all the ones mentioned above have passed through my hands over the years.

I am still leaning toward a cheap revolver, as in cheap steel.

There is very little drag line on the cylinder but the ratchet is beat to hell considering it looks like it has only been cycled around a few times.

The fluting goes back pretty far compared to a Heritage RR unless they changed over the years.

Any other cheap (probably imported) single actions jog your memory?

It does look a lot like a Ruger Single six old model. There were some cheaper Hawes & RG's I played with over the years, but I'm leaning Single Six. Not sure how it got so beat up without much of a cylinder ring.

OP, if you're located in the Dallas area, I could meet you somewhere and do a test fit on my old 3-screw Single Six .22. As luck would have it, I'm looking for a .22LR cylinder for it.

I'm pretty damn sure that's the .22LR cylinder for an early-model Ruger Single Six. The cylinders are fitted to the handgun and then I seem to recall the last three digits of the serial number get electro-penciled on the front face of the cylinder.

Sauer made one so it could be that.

Sauer made one so it could be that.

Unless someone can show that Sauer also did the electro-pencil marking, I'm gonna still have to go with Ruger.

+1 for Ruger Single Six. I'm moving so my Rugers are at a different household.
