Ruger Old Model Bearcat 22 LR 6 Shot SA 4" Barrel Excellent Bore Appears Unfired Made 1971 C&R Okay

Description:
The Ruger Old Model Bearcat is a single-action revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle. This example features a 4-inch barrel, blued steel frame, and six-shot cylinder. The revolver was manufactured in 1971 and represents Ruger’s compact rimfire design of that period. The frame and cylinder are constructed from steel, paired with brown wood grips that provide a traditional appearance and handling profile. The overall configuration follows Ruger’s early Bearcat pattern with fixed sights and a lightweight frame scaled for small-caliber shooting.

This revolver is used and retains its original blued finish on the frame and barrel. The bore condition is described as excellent, indicating clean rifling and appears unfired. The single-action mechanism operates through a manually cocked hammer, consistent with Ruger’s Old Model design prior to the transfer-bar update. External surfaces show the standard blued coloration with visible contrast against the brown wood grips. Markings and serial number placement correspond to Ruger’s production norms for 1971 manufacture.

The revolver has a six-round capacity and is configured as a Curio & Relic–eligible firearm given its 1971 production date. No accessories or additional components are listed with this item beyond the installed grips and standard cylinder assembly. The piece presents as a complete Old Model Bearcat in .22 LR with 4-inch barrel and steel frame construction, offering the essential configuration produced by Ruger during that era.
