Nope. According to the Wiki and Ruger’s documentation, the convertible models can be fired with both .22LR and WMR rounds:
“Ruger manufactures several "convertible" models that ship with both a .22 LR cylinder and .22 WMR cylinder, allowing the use of both cartridges.[3] The .22 Shortand .22 Long cartridges can also be fired in the Long Rifle cylinder. For those models that ship with both cylinders, the last 3 digits of the serial number are engraved on the front of the cylinder; only cylinders that have been properly timed should be used with any given revolver. The term Super Single-Six refers to those models which have fully adjustable target sights.” -D > On Jun 11, 2018, at 10:29 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I think you mean something other than 22 magnum, I think that .22 magnum a > slightly larger caliber than .22LR so you'd also need a larger diameter > barrel. > > Regardless, nice looking pistol and a great option for learning to safely > and accurately handle such. > > ------------- > Max > Charleston SC > > On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 10:05 AM, Dan--- via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com >> wrote: > >> The provenance on this model gun is actually pretty cool. >> >> Apparently, with the popularity of Westerns at the time, Ruger decided it >> would be smart marketing to put out a “six shooter” for the masses.
