The convertible design provides two factory cylinders for .22 LR and .22 WMR, both in a six-shot, single-action format. This flexibility makes the revolver suitable for a wide range of rimfire use while retaining the classic Single-Six handling and timing.
Construction is all alloy steel with a uniform blued finish across the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The 5.5" cold hammer-forged barrel supports long-term durability and consistent performance, and the fluted cylinder keeps the package balanced in the hand.
This is the NR-5F fixed-sight variant, featuring a ramped blade front and a fixed topstrap groove rear. Smooth hardwood grips with Ruger eagle medallions complement the blued finish and provide a secure, traditional feel.
Ruger’s transfer-bar safety and loading-gate interlock are standard on this New Model, adding practical safety enhancements to the classic single-action operation. The ejector rod housing includes a crescent-profile rod head for straightforward unloading. Made in the United States, this example is identified by Ruger mfg part number 00629, with the case end label confirming the NR-5F catalog designation.
