Light weight cast frame??

Thoughts? I was told it was purchased from an old Ruger Collector years ago.

Hello Guys,

This looks a lot like a Colt Scout frame??? Troy, compare it dimensionally with a known Ruger casting and get back to us.

With the top strap having the groove for the sight picture, looks Colt SA to me, different than the Single Sixes
I do not "own" these guns, I am but the next caretaker

It's definitely not a Single Six but I wasn't sure what it is for. I don't have a Wrangler or a Colt Scout to compare it to. The area under the hammer is rounded and not flat like a single six. I tried to capture that in the images above. Based on the time frame he has had it I'm going to say it's not a wrangler but...........

I stopped at a gun shop on my travels yesterday and they had a Wrangler in stock I was able to look at and confirm it was not a wrangler. The Colt Scout is looking better but I'll have to track one down to make the comparisons. The hump area under the hammer is very distinct.
