Does Matt still participate here? It doesn't appear he's logged on for nearly two years.

More to it than that? Drift and adjustable sights also. (reply)

Mine is fluted cylinder and adjustable sights. The front sight is tapered.

My .22 Bisley is roll marked cylinder and drift adjustable rear sight. On that one, the front sight is undercut.

I've also owned three Bisley .41s, all three of which went down the road (replaced by a Freedom Arms Model 97) and still own a 5-1/2 inch Bisley .44 Special.

I have a fluted, drift sight. I seem to recall they weren't the most rare. Been a long time though.

I'm sure someone here who really knows can straighten it out.

Ruger Bisley .32 H&R Rarity Question

Remington40x — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 20:31:23 +0000

There are some serious Ruger fans here, so I thought maybe one of you would know the answer to this. Noodling around on Gunbroker the other evening, I saw an ad for a Ruger Bisley .32 H&R with a fluted cylinder that stated the version with the fluted cylinder is quite rare. If I recall correctly, the ad said around 100. In looking at Wilson's "Ruger and His Guns", he states that the fluted cylinder version appears in the 1986 catalogue, but subsequent catalogues only show the roll marked cylinder.

I'm not a Ruger collector and am not ever likely to be. I do, however, own a fluted cylinder version (no box or papers, sadly) that serial numbers to 1987 according to Wilson's book. I was wondering whether it was actually rare or the ad in question was a seller puffing his product.

Thanks.
