RUGER OLD MODEL BEARCAT For Sale

$500.00

The Ruger Old Model Bearcat is a revered single-action revolver chambered in .22 LR, notable for its lightweight construction with a 6-shot cylinder and 4-inch barrel, and weighing just 17 ounces due to its black anodized alloy frame. Early models are distinguished by their black or brass anodized trigger guards and specific serial number ranges, featuring epoxy resin rosewood grips without medallions. Post-1963 models transitioned to oiled walnut grips with eagle medallions and a gold-tone trigger guard, along with an anodized aluminum housing, while retaining a steel ejector rod housing until 1964 for added durability. Manufactured between 1958 and 1970, early Bearcats often have a letter prefix in their serial numbers, enhancing their collector value. The Ruger Old Model Bearcat remains a cherished collectible among firearm enthusiasts.
