In the next several series of articles I will attempt to provide a general overview of each of the Ruger Single Action revolvers made from 1953 through 1972.These guns are known as the “three-screw” model or just “old models”.I will also list some of the major types and variations of these guns.I hope these articles will be interesting for the readers and especially the beginning Ruger collectors – and hopefully they will influence some of you to begin to collect Rugers. For more than 70 years, Ruger has been a model of corporate and community responsibility. With products made in America, Ruger offers consumers almost 700 variations of more than 40 product lines. Is one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of rugged, reliable firearms for the commercial sporting market. Ruger started making convertibles in 1961 with 22 LR and 22 Mag cylinders so there was a period where both the Magnum models and Convertibles were in the same serial number sequence. Duplicate serial numbers always have an interest with OM collectors.
