The 9.5" Buntline-length barrel defines this Single-Six configuration, providing extended sight radius with the ramped front blade and square-notch adjustable rear. Factory specs for this variant list approximately 15.0 inches overall length and around 39 oz, depending slightly on finish.
The fluted steel cylinder is roll-marked ".22 WIN. MAGNUM CAL." and is configured specifically for .22 WMR. Capacity is six rounds, and the full-length ejector housing uses Ruger’s button-style ejector rod head.
Ruger’s New Model transfer-bar lockwork and single-action-only operation are present, allowing six-up carry with the transfer-bar safety design. The steel frame and cylinder underscore the robust construction associated with this series.
This example falls into Ruger’s 67-prefix serial range, aligning with circa 1979–1980 production. It retains the core New Model Single-Six features while wearing aftermarket two-piece black checkered rubber grip panels for a secure hold.
