Only 500 of these Single Six were made?

[bornintheussr]

Hey guys, I've been really lucky lately picking dealer exclusive Rugers at local pawn shops. Another day got this convertible. Few places on the web state that only 500 of these were made but I don't think it's correct. Anybody familiar with this specific model?

Welcome to the Forum!

That one is too new to be listed in the Red Eagle News Exchange Guide. (The RENE goes to 2009.)

But give it a few days,, and the publisher of the RENE (chet15,) will likely chime in with the up to date info. He's not here every day, but if he sees this,, he'll be the one with the best info for you.

BTW; Nice gun!

It shipped in 2017. No longer in production. That don't mean they won't bring it back though.

 

[bornintheussr]

yes unfortunately Ruger serial number lookup doesn't say how many were made.

 

[hittman]

No, Ruger rarely shares that.
If it was an "exclusive" thru some dealer you'll have better luck getting info from them.

I did an article on the Vaquero style Single-Sixes in late 2020. At that time, there were 820 of the KNR4F. They are serial numbered beween 268-64702 and 268-66311.

There you go,, bornintheussr,,, chet15 has given what most of us consider the best info out there. 820 of them,, unless Ruger makes more later on.

We do try & help folks.

Hang around,, we enjoy conversing about Rugers a lot. New folks are very welcomed. And this Forum isn't as "strict" or "uptight" as some other Forums out there. Just be polite, no profanity, no attacking other members,, and most importantly,, if you have ANY questions about Rugers,, do not be afraid of asking. You won't be belittled here.

I have one of the blue .22 versions with the .32 Vaquero style fixed sights and case colored frame with faux ivory grips and the large black Ruger logo at the bottom of the grips. Maybe Chet has a production quantity for it.

Edit: It's the BNV-224SI for Scrimshaw Ivory grips. I believe 626 were made not counting a few clean up guns shipped a couple of years later.

The top one is the one I have.
