I went off on a mission some time back after seeing some Single Sixes that were case colored with blue, faux ivory grips with the scrim shaw Ruger logo on the bottom of the grip. I guess my fascination with them was that they looked like a baby Vaquero. I now have a NIB 4 & 5/8 model BNV-224-SI on the way to go along with my 5 & 1/2, BNV-225-SI picture at the bottom. The photo, I was sending a friend the frames sizes of the CC&B Ruger revolvers that I knew of. Thought I share all the info to date with you, I was able to obtain from one of our guru's, the nose knows, the who's who. And I truly appreciate the fact they will share....Here is the skinny
