been looking for the right one at the right price for a while , seems like it was either priced too high , or had the xfer bar installed , or missing one cylinder , or just dogged out , grabbed this one for $470 OTD local pawn  , nice bright bore , clean bright chambers , smooth actin , and perfect screws

Same boat here OP. They are usually $600ish used , found a better for $385 with just the 22 lr cylinder and I balked , wish I had grabbed it. That is a pretty good score, enjoy it.

Nice 3 Screw. That’s a good price for it. I have a few new model Single Six convertibles, they are excellent guns. My only 3 Screw is an unconverted Blackhawk 357 from 1958. It still shoots like new. Ruger will install the Transfer Bar and return the original parts if you want to carry 6 shots. Nice find

yea i know about Ruger installing the xfer bar if it ever goes in for service , from what i understand though is they return the original parts with the piece and the xfer bar upgrade is totally reversable

this one serial dates to 1968 , i think the new models started in 73 so this is at the tail end of the life of the old models , this was dirty as all could be so i wasnt 100% certain as to how well it would clean up , could not see any etchings of sn on the cylinders , but once i got the powder off them there they were albeit very lightly etched , last 3 of the serial number , one number between each chamber , so very happy

I have an old 3-screw and a newer(10 year old) SS new model.

The 3-screw is much smoother.

i think its because the transfer bar is a added task for the action to complete ,
