Blackhawk
I have a Single Six in the low 48,000 serial range, which should make it a 1956 model. It is equipped with a serrated ejector rod button, but has a round loading gate. I know that some flat gates were converted back in the day, and I have read a few different claims of when Ruger went to the round loading gate. The gate on mine is a Ruger part, not aftermarket, and the bluing matches the frame, so it's been on there a long time. Is it possible this one came from the factory with the round gate and serrated button? It also has some fine stag grips, though they don't have medallions, so they are probably aftermarket. The gun has some blemishes, and it gets shot a LOT, but since I only gave $165 for it, I don't feel too bad... :mrgreen:
I'll get some pics up this afternoon when I get home from work (sorry to use that filthy four letter word on a family-friendly forum...)
