Ruger New Bearcat Convertible Revolver in 22LR & 22Mag, 22WMR, Rare and Very Collectible!
Description: Available for sale is an Excellent LNIB Condition New Bearcat Convertible ( All Matching, 22 Magnum) pistol that is considered very collectible among Ruger Bearcat collectors! Price decreased on 10/11/25.....When Ruger re-introduced the "New" Bearcat in 1993, the first 1000 manufactured came with both matching 22LR and 22Mag cylinders. The manufacturer attempted to recall the 22 Mag cylinder by sending out a letter describing a timing issue, and subsequently asking owners to send in the 22 magnum cylinders to get them fixed or re-timed, etc. Truth is....the 22 Mag cylinders were never returned back to the owners. It is believed there are only 200-300 of these convertible Bearcats out in collector’s hands today. This New Bearcat Convertible Revolver has beautiful rolled engraving on both the 22LR and 22Mag cylinders. Both cylinders lock up super tight (as new) and appear to show little use since manufacture date in 1993. Close inspection of this Bearcat indicates it may have been lightly fired with the 22LR cylinder and likely never fired using the 22 Mag cylinder. There are very faint roll marks on the 22 LR cylinder.........which likely was from rolling the cylinder or perhaps dry fire? Each cylinder has the last three digits of the serial (542) number EP’ed on the front of cylinders. This revolver comes with an original Yellow Box, Instruction Manual for the New Bearcat Convertible along with the matching serial number written on the front of manual, and the letter from the manufacturer regarding the “timing” issue of the 22 Mag cylinder. Overall, the condition of the pistol is in excellent matching condition. The bore is shiny with sharp lands and grooves. The blue finish is 98% Excellent condition, and the wood grips are in Excellent condition with no blemishes to speak of. The 32 year old Yellow Box does show some wear. I can only ship to the lower 48 states…..sorry, but no sales to CA, WA or NY. Make sure this pistol is legal to transfer and own in your City/State before purchasing. FFL license is required for transfer. Will only accept USPS Money orders, or checks as payment. Once cleared, I will ship to your FFL address only. Cannot be a PO Box.
