Single-Six Lightweights in "American Rifleman"

[Ale-8(1)]

The May issue of the "American Rifleman" magazine features a wonderful article on page 92, by Don Findley, covering the Ruger Lightweight Single-Six revolvers.

Excellent detail and history.

Thanks, Don!!!

I displayed the Light Weights in both the RCA Show in Boise & in Ogden @ The Utah Gun Collectors Assn. show this winter & I can not count the people that came up to me and said, "I did not know Ruger made these Single-Six's". Rare to Very Rare Short Guns! J/S

As Steve said, he showed Lightweights in Boise and Ogden.

The only thing that over shadows Don's knowlege of Rugers is Don himself. He is one of the true gentlemen of Ruger collecting. When I first started Ruger collecting Don always treated me with respect no matter how stupid my questions were. He always was polite and courteous, and if you ever traded guns with him you were treated the same way. Good job Don.

Serial # 200047 is the 2nd Light Weight from the Left of the Display Because #200069 shipped before #200047, then the next 3 Guns on the Board were Serial #200082, #200083, & #200084.
It was a fun display that had alot of people asking questions.
