What’s Included
- Ruger Super Single-Six (Old Model, Three-Screw) .22 WMR revolver
The Old Model three-screw, pre-transfer-bar action defines this revolver and appeals to enthusiasts of classic Ruger single-actions. As the adjustable-sight Super Single-Six variant, it offers a clean, crisp single-action feel and a configuration appreciated by rimfire shooters and Ruger collectors alike.
Manufactured in 1971, this example aligns with the 60- serial prefix range for that year. It carries the Southport, Conn. U.S.A. barrel address, underscoring its period-correct production and American manufacture.
The 6.5 inch carbon steel barrel provides a long sight radius, paired with a fully adjustable rear sight and a ramped steel front blade secured by a screw. These sighting features make the most of the .22 WMR chambering, helping the shooter dial in precise point of impact.
Construction details include a blued carbon steel, six-shot fluted .22 WMR cylinder and an XR3-RED aluminum grip frame that keeps weight manageable. The smooth walnut grips with silver Ruger eagle medallions complete the traditional Ruger look and feel.
