Single Six Dummy Gun?

[Bronson]

Anybody know where I can get one at a good price? Rings doesn't list them on their website and Duncan's seems to be down. Google searches aren't bringing anything up. Are there any other places?

Thanks

I could be wrong but I don't think anyone is making a good dummy of the ruger single six. You might have to beg, borrow or steal an actual gun and do the oil and sandwich wrap drill. It seems to me I looked for one a couple of years ago and came up dry.....Sorry..

Bronson, . . . there are some really authentic looking "would be" guns out there on the market. They used to run in the 60 - 80 $ range, . . . folks used them for display, parades, etc.

I saw one once where they put the gun, a sheriff's badge, and an old pair of handcuffs in a frame, mounted over black velvet, . . . honestly I could not distinctivly point out that the gun was a fake, . . . it was that good a replica.

I found one place for you: http://www.cowboyprops.com/ but you would do well to get measurements of their wares and compare them to the real thing.

Course, . . . there is also a Uberti Cattleman .45 LC on Gunbroker for $255, . . . you would have a perfect mold, . . . plus something to have fun with when you aren't working

May God bless,

Thanks guys. I'm looking to make a field/flap holster for a friend's dad. He's a farmer and uses his .22 single six around the farm. I was hoping for a dummy gun but I'm wondering if, since I'm not looking to do any detail forming/boning, my Taurus .22 with the same length barrell would be close enough?

I was thinking of something similar to this:

Or if anybody has a pattern for something similar that they would be willing to share that would be awesome too

If you can get a Colt Frontier .22 dummy gun from Duncan's, I believe they are very close to the same frame size. I thought Duncan's had the Frontier at one time but not sure at the moment.
