This might be a long shot (heh thats kind of a pun i supose) , but this thing has been sitting in my closet not getting used for years, thought someone may be interested. 1976 New Model Ruger Single Six .22mag. It was my fathers, he bought it when he was in the airforce. Its been sitting in my closet forever colecting dust. Since i love to play pool, and I'm not much of a shooter, a cue sounded like a better deal for me.. If anyone is remotely interested in this its a great handgun and i can provide the serial number.. Anyway post pics of what you may want to trade.. Looking for something nice, although i dont use the gun, it has some sentimental value... I'm just wanting to shift it to a nice cue :D I have other pics if you would like too..

Getting rid of a pistol that belonged to your father could very easily turn out to be one of the worst choices you'll ever make. Keep your fathers gun and buy a cue...besides the Ruger isn't worth that much anyway. Trust me friend.:)
 
Gotta agree with Kevin, sir.

I'm the very proud owner of a Ruger handgun series I received from my father.......two of each Ruger handgun ever made, and with consecutive serial numbers on most pairs, too.

Two things ring true about your handgun.

1. The single six won't bring a whole lot on trade value towards a cue. Not enough, anyway, to cover more than a production made cue or perhaps a custom sneaky.

2. The sentimental value to YOU makes the gun worth much more.....and you very well might regret getting rid of it. The gun, whether you use it or not, is tied to you by family....and you won't get that from a cue.

Just my 2 cents.....but good luck, regardless of what you decide to do.

Moneygrip, you need to be careful with this offer as you either need a federal firearms license or the person receiving the firearm in the mail needs to have an FFL or you have to ship it directly to a firearms dealer. Doing it any other way is a third degree felony if you happen to get caught. Nice Ruger by the way.
 
Yes if someone takes you up on the offer, make them scan their foid card and send it first
 
while i am not big on sentimentality and mushy stuff like that.i would agree that you couldn't get a lot of cue for this gun.if you own and don't ever use it,by all means sell it for something you like to use.i am sure you Dad would rather have you sell it to buy something you really like than it just sitting in the closet for the next 50 years being of no use to anyone.i would sell it for whatever it is worth.i would guess $200-$250 and then try to buy one of the custon sneakies around here.there are many good playing sneakies floating around here for under $300.don't listen to the people telling you not to sell your father's gun b/c you will regret it.make sure you do it by the law and sell it and get a good playing cheap cue.
 
Thank you

Thank you all for your responses. I never really thought if the value of the gun to ME in 15-20 years. I think I will hold on to it, maybe give it to my kid someday.. Thnaks again guys, very much.
