Ruger New Model Single-Six Convertible .22 LR/.22 WMR Revolver, 5.5-Inch Blued (1993)
The Ruger New Model Single-Six Convertible pairs classic single-action handling with practical dual-caliber versatility. Built in 1993, this full-size revolver ships with both .22 LR and .22 WMR cylinders, letting shooters switch rimfire loads without tools. Its 5.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, blued steel frame, and smooth walnut grips give it the balanced feel and durable construction collectors expect from Ruger’s long-running Single-Six line.

What’s Included
- Factory .22 WMR conversion cylinder (fluted, blued)
The convertible cylinder system is the centerpiece of this revolver. By simply swapping cylinders, you can move from inexpensive .22 LR plinking to hotter .22 WMR loads for small-game or field use, all while maintaining the same familiar sight picture and trigger.
Ruger’s transfer-bar safety allows safe carry with all six chambers loaded, a feature that distinguishes the New Model series from earlier single actions. The spur hammer and crisp single-action trigger deliver a consistent, positive break shot after shot.
The 5.5-inch alloy-steel barrel features a 1:14 RH twist suitable for a wide range of rimfire bullet weights. Combined with the micro-adjustable rear sight and serrated ramp front sight, the revolver offers a clear, reliable sight picture for precise shooting.
An investment-cast steel frame, blued finish, and black-anodized aluminum grip frame keep weight manageable without sacrificing strength. Smooth walnut grips with silver Ruger medallions add a classic touch while providing a comfortable hold.
With its 1993 serial prefix 262-, this Single-Six represents a later production example that benefits from Ruger’s coil-spring internals and long-proven durability.
