Ruger .22 Cal. Single Six
	This is a Ruger "Flat Gate"  manufactured in 1955 (mint condition). This is the only Ruger in my collection. I acquired it, at the urging of a friend who is a very knowledgeable dealer.  The very early serial number, the flat loading gate (which was only produced for four years) and the condition of this gun all intrigued me.

Gun Collecting: Ruger .22 Cal. Single Six (made in 1955) Flat Gate

Sturm, Ruger & Co. manufactured the original Single-Six single action (in various forms), from 1953 until 1973. In 1957 Ruger replaced the flat loading gate with a contoured gate. This specimen from my collection, was manufactured in 1955 and has the "flat gate".
