Yikes, a low number too. I'll have to see if that's on the list.
I added it.

It may not have been an old gun at the time.

A 2-digit Lightweight,, and sadly,, no longer as collectable as it could be. Bet it makes a dandy shooter.

This was supposed to be in the single action revolver section, not the rimfire. Not sure how I managed that.
Can someone move it?
Thank you

IMHO it actually fits better here with its Rimfire brothers. It could easily get lost up there with all the other Single-Action/Double-Action guns.
Like I said, JMHO. Great example. Thanks for posting it.

So it's an early 3 screw, flatgate, Wrangler?

No, it's an early three-screw, flatgate, tri-color lightweight, Single-Six . . . a two-digit one at that.

I'm going to look at a tri color tomorrow. If things go well, I'll have some pics to post.
Good for you. One of my favorite Rugers.
We like pics!!
Take a look at the list here on the forum.
Maybe you can make an addition.

Went and looked the the gun today and it was absolutely mint except for, and it's a BIG except, the previous owner must of fanned the crap out of the gun as the cylinder stops were all mangled. hope he learned not to fan guns especially ones with aluminum cylinders.

It was a dealer with 20% off sale going on, so it was $680

Hmmm, If the cylinder was the only problem,, that might have been a fair deal for someone with a spare Tri-Color cylinder.
Of course,, that's very dependent on the condition of the rest of the gun.
