Introducing the Ruger New Model Single-Six revolver, a timeless piece of firearm history that combines vintage charm with modern safety improvements. Manufactured in 1977, this revolver stands as a testament to Ruger's commitment to delivering robust, reliable firearms. Its condition is very good, with only minor, superficial signs of prior handling or use, and mild fouling that is a testament to its use and maintenance.
This Single Action Only (SAO) firearm has a 6-round capacity, a standard for revolvers of this type. The .22 LR caliber makes it a versatile choice, suitable for both enthusiasts and beginners with its low recoil. The 6.5" barrel length ensures a good balance between ease of handling and accuracy. The blued finish gives it an attractive, sleek look while also providing a layer of protection against rust and corrosion.
The smooth walnut grips, adorned with Ruger medallions, add a touch of elegance and provide a firm, comfortable hold. The front ramp and adjustable notched rear sight contribute to the gun's accuracy. A bonus feature of this revolver is the included .22 Magnum cylinder, expanding the range of this already versatile firearm. And while there is minor holster wear, it only adds to the charm and history of this piece.
The Sturm Ruger New Model Single-Six is a popular small game hunting and plinking revolver, first produced in 1973 as an upgrade from the original Single-Six. The "New Model" title represents a significant safety improvement from the old model with the inclusion of a transfer bar, allowing the gun to be carried safely with all six chambers loaded. This firearm serves as a tool of accuracy, historical value, and good old-fashioned fun. It is a perfect addition to any gun enthusiast's collection, or a great starter for someone looking to delve into the world of firearms.
