Description

This Ruger Single-Six is a single-action revolver chambered in .22 caliber, featuring a 5.5 inch barrel and a blued finish. A notable feature of this example is the cylinder, which displays distinctive decorative engravings of two bullets around its circumference. The firearm is fitted with smooth wood grip panels, each adorned with a silver-colored Ruger phoenix medallion. The sighting system consists of a fixed front blade and a notch rear sight. Key markings include RUGER .22 CAL. over SINGLE-SIX followed by the Ruger phoenix logo on the left side of the frame, and the serial number 469843 on the right side. The top of the barrel is marked with two lines: STURM, RUGER & CO., INC. and SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The blued finish remains largely intact but shows visible thinning and wear on the grip frame, cylinder, and at the muzzle. A distinct drag line is present on the cylinder from standard operation. The hammer and other steel surfaces exhibit areas of surface oxidation and freckling. The wood grip panels show scattered minor handling marks, scratches, and small dings consistent with use, but remain solid. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested. The bore condition was not physically inspected.
