The Old Model three-screw action defines this revolver, offering the classic pre-transfer-bar lockwork collectors seek. As the adjustable-sight Super Single-Six variant, it pairs a 5.5 inch barrel with a fluted six-shot cylinder for a balanced, traditional rimfire single-action setup.
Materials and finishes are period-correct: blued carbon steel barrel, frame, and cylinder, complemented by a black-anodized aluminum-alloy grip frame. Smooth pearlescent-white plastic grip panels are installed, giving it a distinctive look while maintaining the original style.
Sighting is straightforward and precise with adjustable iron sights: a ramped front blade with red paint on the face and a fully adjustable rear sight. Loading is via the right-side gate, with the standard Ruger base pin latch and an ejector rod housing for case removal.
Factory markings include a Southport, CONN. U.S.A. barrel address and a left-frame "RUGER .22 CAL. SINGLE-SIX" rollmark with the Ruger phoenix logo. The 60- serial prefix indicates 1969 production in the United States, aligning with the model’s Old Model series timeline.
