Howdy! New Ruger Collector
Howdy! New Ruger Collector
I fell in love with the early Ruger Single six. Managed to pick up a few...
my wife is right...it's a "collection"! Two 54's, three 55's, a 59 and a 60. Still need a 56, 57 & 58...probably won't live long enough to get a 53...I suppose I need a few more to fill in all the dates. Still learning about all the variations. Will probably have lots of questions! Thanks for looking!! Steve

Welcome to the forum! The hunt is where the fun is, once you find a new one you will discover that there are two more you need (WANT). And I am happy to say that will go on for years.

Re: Howdy! New Ruger Collector
Steve you are in the right place. Welcome to the fun. Ruger is spoken fluently here and the knowledge in incredible.... Then there is JAYDAWG.... The "rest home" contacted me about him and I said he was looking at old milk cartons... Seriously you have a nice collection of Single Sixes. Tnanks for showing us
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...

Re: Howdy! New Ruger Collector
Now that is what I call a collection! Thanks for showing us.
I've never claimed to be a collector, just an accumulator.
And, Howdy right back atcha!

Re: Howdy! New Ruger Collector
Welcome aboard Steve, glad to have you. That's a fine group of Flat Gates you have there, thanks for sharing (we love pics). Good luck in your search, unfortunately the more you get into it the more you realize how many variations and gaps in a collection depending on the path you take. You have come to the right place, there is an amazing amount of information accumulated by the members here.
