This is a fine example of a Ruger Single Six 3-Screw Revolver in .22 Long Rifle, manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. in Southport, Connecticut. The serial number 320980, along with the included factory letter, confirms this revolver was shipped in June 1961, placing it in the early production of the Single Six, which debuted in 1953 as Ruger’s first firearm. The 3-screw, flat-top configuration with no transfer bar is highly sought after by collectors, as it represents the original design before safety modifications were introduced in the 1970s. The Single Six was inspired by the Colt Single Action Army but modernized for the .22 LR cartridge, offering affordability and reliability for plinking, small game hunting, and cowboy action shooting. Its historical significance lies in its role as a cornerstone of Ruger’s rise to prominence, blending traditional single-action aesthetics with modern manufacturing techniques. This revolver, with its pre-warning status, is a true classic from the golden era of American firearms.

This example is in excellent condition, with the majority of metal surfaces retaining their original blued finish, though the trigger guard shows paint peeling, a common trait for early aluminum-framed models. The 5.5" barrel and .22 LR cylinder are in superb condition, with a bright bore indicating minimal use and excellent care. The revolver is mechanically excellent, ensuring reliable performance. The factory letter adds significant provenance, confirming the model’s specifications and shipping date. As a Curio & Relic firearm, it is eligible for direct shipment to C&R license holders.
