Nov 2, 2021 After Jan 1, 1969, all guns made by Ruger have a 2 or 3 digit prefix, which is unique to the model and caliber. 22 Mag only Single-Sixes have a roll mark on the left side of the frame that says .RUGER SINGLE-SIX WIN .22 RF MAG CAL, whereas 22 LR only and 22 Convertibles have a roll mark that says RUGER .22 CAL. SINGLE-SIX.

Jan 22, 2010 I have an old 3 screw model single six with a serial # 5277**. Is mine a super single six? How can you tell? I do have both .22lr and mag cylinders for it. Does that make it super? If so if I read the chart right it makes it a 1966. I picked it up at the local gander mountain a couple years ago for $175 or $199, I can 't remember which.

Oct 30, 2007 I can't believe that you have not found any reference to the Ruger Single-Six with a 6 1/2 in. bl. They first came out in 1959 as a RSSM with a 6 1/2 in bl. with the frame stamped (RUGER SINGLE-SIX WIN. 22RF MAG. CAL.). Serial numbers started at 300,000 and went to about serial number 340,000.

The 6-1/2 inch barrel length was added to the standard Single-Six line around late 1962/ early 1963. Thus these gun were available in four barrel lengths ( 4-5/8, 5-1/2, 6-1/2, and 9-1/2 ) from about 1962/63 until the end of old model or three screw production in 1972. The 9-1/2 and 4-5/8 are the most scarce.

Jan 17, 2018 But consumer demand resulted in a Colt-style, fully contoured loading gate in 1957, around serial number 70,000. In 1973, Ruger discontinued what is now called the Old Model Single-Six and...

Jul 12, 2019 A series of Ruger Single Six models about 250 were engraved by the factory between 1954 and 1958, and they are considered the most collectible of all Ruger firearms. Most were engraved by Charles Jerred of the United States, while a total of 22 were sent to Spain to be engraved by several notable artisans there.

Apr 5, 2017 The RENE Reference mentions that a block of 1400 RSS5X duplicate serial number Single Six convertibles were released in 1968 and are in the general serial number range D500000 to D505140. I know you said the box is marked RSS5 but perhaps that's an error.

The Ruger Single-Six is a single-action rimfire revolver produced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. The Single-Six was first released in June 1953. The Single-Six is currently produced as the New Model Single-Six. The term "New Model" simply means that this model includes Ruger's transfer bar mechanism for increased safety, allowing one to carry the revolver safely with all six chambers loaded.

Jan 31, 2021 They were then stamped with a D before the numbers... and the Ruger serial number list does NOT list the D numbers! Here is a good explanation I found on the Ruger.com forum: The Super Single-Six came out in November 1964 with a reserved Single-Six serial block beginning at 500000.

Jan 9, 2018 Adennis , Looks like you have an Old Model Super Single-Six, made in 1969. Ruger's web site has the serial number history. ... For guns made after Jan 1 of '69, all Ruger serial numbers had a prefix that was unique to a specific model. For Single-Sixes, it started out as "20" then the prefix ...

Dec 29, 2021 The Gun Control act of 1968 went into effect on Jan 1, 1969. Any Ruger firearm made after that had a prefix (60 for Single-Sixes), however guns made before 1969 were allowed to be shipped with Ruger's old serial number scheme .... no prefix. If you read the blurbs in Ruger's "serial number history", it mentions manufacturing date versus ...

Jul 5, 2022 Welcome to the forum. We'd be glad to help you but we'll need some information: For value we'll need a photo or estimate of the percentage of original blue finish remaining. It's a very early one and with a 4 digit serial # it was made the 2nd year of production, 1954 in .22 LR.

I bought a 3 Screw, Single Six, 6 1/2", SN is 4871XX, has a .22 LR cylinder in the revolver. SO what do I actually have?

The Standard Model, at $41.50 was well under the $71.50 sticker on the Colt Huntsman. The Single-Six Convertible (the interchangeable .22 Magnum cylinder came along in 1962) was $69.50, still under the $82.50 sticker on Colts two-cylinder Frontier Scout rimfire. Of course, none of this late 60s MSRP argle-bargle mattered much to me at the ...

The serial number is in the 415XXX range. Am I correct that it was probably a 22WMR only gun made in 1966? Oct 13, 2021. #2. Fox Mike. Hawkeye. Supporting Member. Joined. Nov 17, 2009. Messages.
