Ruger ~ "Old Model" Single Six ~ 22 L.R.

Description:
This vintage Single-Six 22 has a 4 5/8" barrel. Features: black-anodized, one-piece cast Alcoa aluminum backstrap and trigger guard. The Single-Six came with checkered, hard-rubber stocks bearing Ruger's stylized eagle logo; walnut stocks were optional until 1961, when they became standard. Stag and ivory stocks were available, but rare. Most noticeable, however, was the flat loading gate, implemented to reduce manufacturing costs. 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 introduced the New Model, which featured a transfer bar. This Old Model Single-Six is in 90 percent condition, with scattered spots of wear and some finish chipping on the grip frame. Although Ruger offers free Old Model transfer bar conversion kits, this gun retains its original lockwork, which means it must be carried with the hammer resting on an empty cylinder. Its only apology is aftermarket, but period-correct, plastic "staghorn" stocks, but it has been well taken care of. Approximate age is 1959 - 1962. .22 Long Rifle
