New Model Single Six

[jarubla]

I picked up a blued one this weekend! :mrgreen:

5 1/2 in barrel, 22 LR and 22 WMR cylinder (with matching serial number, green bag/yellow drawstring, and white factory box stating "single six, .357 blackhawk, .45 blackhawk"), a hunter holster, and hunter belt for $300.

I really couldn't pass it up for the price when I saw the accouterments.

There is one scrape on the frame behind the trigger guard, and some holster wear to the muzzle. It also has a slight wear ring/drag line on the cylinder, but overall looks pretty damn fine to me.

SN is 69-xxxxx. Anyone know right off hand when this was made? I am thinking early 90's (but I have been wrong before)

That's the time in Ruger history when the company were phasing out cylinder bags for their Convertible SA's and rifle rings. When the red bags were used up, they went to a host of other colors that must have been in their "stockpile". I've seen red, blue, green, orange and brown.
Jay: Send me a PM on the sn of your gun so I can note that in the reference of Ruger firearms as I'm sure somebody will have a question in the future asking when Ruger quite using felt bags for their extra cylinders and rifle rings.
