Howdy
Last week I picked up a nice three screw Single Six, the version with adjustable sights. 5 1/2' barrel. I would like to determine when it was made. SN is 5421XX. According to the information on the Ruger website, SN 187367 was the first SN produced in 1962. The next data point is SN 20-00001 in 1969. Nothing in between. Does anybody have some slightly more detailed information about when my 'new' Single Six was made?
Thanks

Stb emulator on fire tv. Jmb3675, The serial number history shows the starting serial number for each year. When the serial number reaches XXX-99999, a new prefix is assigned that may or may not be sequential. In this case, Ruger started at 227-98588 at the beginning of 2009. Printer driver hp laserjet m1136 mfp. Soon after they ran out of numbers and started the new prefix of 270.

I think 'adjustable sights' = Super Single Six.

Thanks
I thought Super meant it came with two cylinders. This one only has the 22LR cylinder, but I suppose a Mag cylinder may have existed at some time. Anyhow, it does have adjustable sights, and your information seems a bit more in the ball park.
Thanks

2 cylinders = Convertible, I think

Absolutely correct. They have an X on the end of the catalog # to indicate 'Extra Cylinder'. Both Single Sixes and Super SSs came in convertible models.

Hi Driftwood,
The Supers were in a separate serial number range. which are on a different page from the one that you looked at. I wouldn't mind finding one. Was it a good price?

The Super Single-Six Old Models had the following model numbers:
SC4
SC5
SC6
The 'S' ment Super. The 'C' meant convertible and the 4,5,6 meant 4 5/8 in. bl.,5 1/2 in. bl., 6 1/2 in. bl. All Super Single Sixes were Convertibles except for one or more of the Factory Plated guns that was sold to employees.
