I found this little thing languishing in a pawn shop this week so had to bring it home. It has been converted but the correct parts kit is on its way.

that's sad but some one did put some time and effort into it
Nice one Robb! I know you'll make it proper once again.
I have a Flatgate fitted with Micro sights as well...It's one of my favorite Single-Sixes.

FLAT GATE?????
Well, it came with the one shown. I had a Premier loading gate in my parts box, and quickly installed it to save my thumb.
Update: The Ruger website dates my gun to 1956...So it's definitely from the Flatgate time frame.

If the serial is 877XX like it looks like in the pic, it was not a flat gate originally..............
But, cool gun!
If you do not want the FG, send me a PM, I will take it.

A Forum member from Alabama used to collect those. I think he went by Americal, or something like that.

I looked very close at the picture,, and the serial number does look like it starts with an "8". If that's the correct first number,, then it wasn't shipped as a Flatgate. BUT,, if the number is actually a "3" then it would be a Flatgate.
Nice gun s,, both of them!

I found these pictures on the inter-web back when I first bought mine. There was a whole "upgrade" accessory market for these guns at one time.
