I've looked through all my limited information and Chad's reference pocket edition #2 regarding this single six. On the back of the yellow envelope the date stamp is Dec 6 2010. If any of you might have some data on this gun I'd be interested in knowing more of the history of this special run of 22lr.

Back in 2010-2011 I got a bunch of these NR4FL/NR5FL "baby Vaqueros" from Davidsons. One order my rep put together included a 7 gun consec group of the NR4FLs. For some reason they never seemed to be big sellers and just kind of disappeared. Some of these guns appeared again later when Ruger was moving and cleaning out the long lost corners of their warehouses. Over the years I sold, probably 60 of these neat little guns. Tried to buy some consecs back from a customer in Tucson but Sandy wasn't having any of that program. You got a good one there.

I'm looking for a NR4FL 22lr/22mag conv. to complete this 9 gun project I'm doing if you happen to run across one. I'll shoot you an email.

The last reference revision I did was in 2010, so the Cabela's issues aren't in there.
There were 515 of the Cabela's Vaquero style fixed sight Single-Six made in 2011 for the Cabela's 50th Anniversary. They are numbered from CAB-61001 through CAB-61515.
The Single-Six was one of three different Cabela's commemoratives done by Ruger (and probably distributed through Lipsey's). The other two were a 10/22 (Ruger model 1266) with 986 made and a Number 1 rifle model 1-S in 300 H&H (300 made), Ruger model 11358.

Chad I was hoping you would find this thread. Thanks so much for your information on this gun and the others as well.
