Description:
Flat Gate RUGER SINGLE SIX Revolver C&R w/TRANSFER BAR Conversion & HOLSTER

Predecessor to the “NEW MODEL” Single Six

Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Sturm, Ruger & Company Flat Gate Single Six Single Action Revolver with the Transfer Bar Conversion chambered in .22 Long Rifle, made in Southport, Connecticut circa 1954. The Ruger Single-Six is a single-action rimfire revolver produced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. and was first released in June 1953. This one features the “Old Model” 3-Screw frame and has the transfer bar safety conversion that the new ones have for safety.

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. Prior to 1973, the Single-Six was produced without the transfer bar mechanism, making it less safe to carry with all six chambers loaded, and with the hammer resting on a loaded chamber. The transfer bar safety allows the revolver to fire only when the trigger has been pulled. Ruger provides the transfer bar safety upgrade free of charge for owners of any old model Single-Six, though this may come with a significant trigger-feel penalty.

The overall condition is nearing fine. Original finish is preserved, with some holster wear on the barrel. The back strap is polished. Markings are legible. The bore is bright with strong rifling. Excellent action. The modern tooled leather holster is fine. Both stag grips are fine.
