Type 1 Flat Gate SINGLE SIX

[PRichardson87]

It's probably just me but I'm seeing no difference in the two breech pics

I agree, it's hard to see, so I took a couple more pics.

T1 flat breech.

On the T2 the bottom 3/4 of the breech face is lower than the area around the firing pin.
It's easy to see (with my glasses on!!) with guns in hand, but I think I got better pics this time.
Hope this helps.
No type 1's are known above serial #2000....... BUT, as we all know with Ruger, never say never....

TYPE 1

TYPE 2

You can really feel it when you run your finger across the face. You can easily tell the difference by touch.

 

[Fishermen0105]

So this is a type 1?

 

[JAYDAWG]

From the picture and the look of the breech face....yes.
To confirm, is there a hyphen between single and six?
And, what is the serial #.....
Feel free to PM me.

Mine is no hyphen and 3 digit serial number. Not for sale I was just wondering about the flat breech face.

They tend to be really pretty guns due to some metallurgy and bluing issues. It can be very challenging to get the coppering and lightning streaks to show up in all their beauty in a photograph. I only own one Type 1 but it's a really nice one. Yes, Jay, it has your name on it if I ever decide to send it down the river.

This one also has a Carl Laco provenance.

This one sold several weeks ago at the auction where I bought the Flattop. Had I not bought the Flattop I might have bought it. It was like new with box and paperwork with nice copper colored frame. It sold for $700, not sure how much of a deal that was, but it sure was a nice gun

You're going to make Jay cry with that one. Easy double your money with a sale price of $700.

You're making me cry!

 

[JAYDAWG]

AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!

$700 with box is a KILLER deal.
I need to get internet smarter and find these auctions, because if I miss out on any more T1 Flatgates.......
my head will explode!!!!!
I need a drink

 

[Watertender]

Don't make JAYDAWG cry... All of those pretty Rugers he is hoarding will rust! I just got some fresh marbles today and I will send him some to take his mind off not getting that sweet deal on that beautiful revolver. Besides he is spending money on Green Beret 10-22's. I have a can of green spray paint, perhaps I can paint an old 10-22 green and trick him into sending me a bunch of money. I'll work on that idea and see how it works out.

 

[JAYDAWG]

Huh...

WT and Rdzzz, and now Threespears.....added to the list

As Han Solo once said,
Yuk it up FUZZBALL!!!!

 

[JAYDAWG]

Back up.
Always looking for the Type 1 Flat gates.
Top $$ paid

Those copper colors sure are pretty, metallurgy mistakes or not!
