As of now, no convertibles have lettered as being shipped from the factory with a brass frame. Good luck on yours.

this is a test

With 20,000 made then there are more .44 Flattops made then this model Bearcat!!!!! Of course, being rare doesn't make it valuable. You still have to have DEMAND!!!

If your gun was shipped from the factory with a 4 5/8 in. bl. then it is 1 of only 200 made. It is a very rare gun as most collectors don't have one. I would get a letter from Ruger to be sure. Until I get that letter I would be careful about shooting the Heck out of it. If it is at least...

If it was stainless steel, then it would have a (K) in the model number. As it doesn't then it came from the factory as BLUE.

It looks as if your gun is a tapered bolt. Look at the back of the bolt the ears should taper in towards the center of the bolt.

I can't tell for sure but if the serial number is 0600. I used to own that gun. I let it go to the Potato Farmer when I sold my collection of Rugers. If it is serial number 0600 then it is one fine Red Eagle. I'm sure that you enjoy owning it.

I'm sure that Ruger used the same barrels for both the Star and the convertibles. After all, when Ruger started making the .22 Mag. they started using the larger bore size for both the .22 LR and the .22 Mag. guns.

Once you see a real nice pair of "REAL STAG GRIPS" The imitation ones just don't cut it. JMO

Less of these Old Model .45 made then the Old Model .44 Mag. FLATTOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ruger usually uses a number to show the barrel length of a Single-Six. RSS4 for a 4 5/8 in. bl. RSS5 for a 5 1/2 in. bl. RSS9 for a 9 1/2 in. bl. In 1959 when Ruger came out with the Single-Six with a 6 1/2 in. bl. instead of calling it a RSS6, they call it a RSSM as that gun was only made in a...

Much harder to find then the gun. Just saying!!!!!!!!!

Your pictures are not too big. They are just right. Good luck with your sale, and these guns are getting harder and harder to find.
