Ruger Single Six variation. Wow I love it!

[Tallbald]

Bought a new stainless, birdshead grip, pinch frame Single Six today at a well-stocked shop. Was told to me that was a leftover part of a distributors special run from some time ago. Both .22LR and .22 Mag cylinders with it, and high polish to boot! My wife has already laid claim to this little beauty with the reasoning that it's too small for my hands, having a 3 3/4 inch barrel. But she says I can play with it too. Wish I knew more about this variation, since I've never seen one from the factory like this. thanks, Don.

Like it!

Sweet! Personally, I think the Single Six grip frame is just the right size!

almost like a big bearcat....i dig it

I saw one in my local shop today. One of the guys who worked there said it was a special run for Lipsey's.

I'm considering a Super Single Six as my next gun purchase. My son-in-law keeps too close of and eye on his for me to make it mine

Beautiful revolver. Unless they made others, it should date to 2002 and was a Talo distributor special. I see one that is supposed to be new in box up for sale on GunBroker.com with buy now price of $520. Of course, it hasn't sold yet.

Ruger also made a birdshead Single Six, SS w/black grips, chambered for the .32 H&R Mag. I have the urge!

Looks like a terrific grip for a light recoil revolver, I'm jealous.

 

[Tallbald]

Thanks everyone. i sure love it! Don

 

[KevininPa]

Always wanted to........

.........do that to a SS but when I priced out the parts and the firearm (even used, they don't go too cheap around here) it would've ran around $600-650. Bit much for me these days for a .22.

That is one super nice looking Single Six. Great aquisition, even if you do have to share it with your wife.

 

[Kernel]

I likely. Excellent photo, also! (As well as good taste in firearms, you're obviously skilled at "shooting" with a camera, too).

 

[ghitch75]

very nice piece!!!!!!!......i like singles too...

 

[Norrick]

Is that from the factory? I didn't know they had Bird's head grips available.

I wish Ruger would do a birds head on the Bearcat

 

[Saragosa]

Wow, that's an interesting take on a single six. I like it! How does it handle?

Here is another rare KNR4 "Liberty" Single Six .22lr/.22 Mag(300 or less were made). I discovered this revolver NIB two years ago:

 

[Tallbald]

Thanks everyone. Have not had a chance to shoot the little fella yet, but he balances and points naturally. The birdshead grip is wonderful for smaller hands. Now to the bench to start a slick little holster. Leather is a wonderful, artistic and practical craft that meshes well with our shooting hobby. Don

That's a beauty, I'm in the market for a birds head grip single shot revolver in .357. Real niiiice. Congratulations.

 

[Red Label]

Single sixes are just about the most fun you can have with a gun and that sure is a purty one!

 

[aHFo3]

Weren't Bird's Head Vaquero's a regular offering from Ruger a few years back?

 

[sidheshooter]

Ok, that little Ruger is just plain cool. Great find!

 

[dave284]

My understanding is that this is a new Talo run. At least that is what the guy told me yesterday at the Ft. Worth gun show (3/13/11).He had another which had a consecutive number to mine, of course I only had cash for one!!!!!!!!!#@#@!

 

[BlkHawk73]

These are not a run as a leftover and not exclusive to Lispey's. They a small run of 450 contracted for TALO and then distributed through their wholesalers. Lipsey's is one of them but it's certainly not exclusive to them.

High polished stainless with fixed sight

3 3/4 inch barrel

Bird’s Head Grip

Simulated Ivory

Model Number: 0669

Catalog Number: GKNRBH-3F-I

UPC Number: 7-36676-00669-4

Description: High polished stainless Single-Six with fix sights in .22LR with convertible .22MAG cylinder, birdshead grip, simulated ivory grips, and 3 ¾” barrel.

The birds head variation has been discontinued from catalog models.

Be hard to do a birds head Bearcat as the grip is part of the cylinder frame. Would require new castings and tooling. That = $$$$.

Here is another rare KNR4 "Liberty" Single Six .22lr/.22 Mag(#00 or less were made). I discovered this revolver NIB two years ago:

WOW, finding a NIB "Liberty" model is an outstanding score (only made them in 1976).

Just by coincidence when I went out shopping for my Super Single Six, it just happened to be in 1976 and ended up with a "Liberty" model (blue, 6 1/2" barrel). My first handgun and still my favorite after 35 years.

Very cool indeed!

All I can say is you better have a gambler's vest to go with that jewel.

Note to Ruger –

Make this in .327 and I will trade you a kidney for one…

Thank you
