Hi everyone,
I am in the process of acquiring a New Model Ruger Single Six. I have ordered this through Bud's and had it delivered to a local FFL dealer for the transfer.
I inspected the gun, exciting moment, but I don't really have any experience acquiring a new gun. It is supposed to be brand new, and it does come as such. On inspection though, on the wheel mechanism of one of the cylinders (I don't recall if the 22lr or mag) there are some small linear marks, similar to what would result from hitting it with the head of a screw driver. I didn't see any other significant blemishes, and these things are somewhat regular on the "petals" of that connecting component that is driven by the action.
I called Ruger and learned that this unit left their factory in January of 2012, so very recently. Does anyone know if these things are normal? Or should I be worried that this gun has been used or repaired before?
Thank you very much for any advice!
