Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1956, the Ruger Lightweight Single-Six was designed to provide target shooters, trappers, and outdoorsmen with a featherweight single-action rimfire sidearm weighing in at just 23 ounces. Featuring an aluminum alloy frame, alloy cylinder, and blued steel barrel, early variants became famously known among collectors as "Tri-Color" models due to the striking contrast between the blued steel barrel, silver-gray anodized alloy frame, black anodized grip frame, and distinct brass-tone anodized cylinder. Built with the original 3-screw "Old Model" mechanism, intact unconverted examples in clean original condition are highly prized pieces of Ruger history.
This exact revolver, serial number 204167, was manufactured at Ruger's Southport, Connecticut factory in 1957. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle with a 6-shot capacity, it features the lightweight 4.75-inch blued barrel, factory silver anodized frame, factory brass-tone anodized cylinder, black checkered hard rubber grips, and traditional 3-screw single-action action that remains unconverted (no factory transfer bar modification). It comes paired with a fitted vintage leather belt holster with snap closure. Presenting in honest original condition throughout with smooth anodized surfaces, tight cylinder lockup, crisp hammer cocking, and a bright clear bore, this 1957 Ruger Lightweight Single-Six "Tri-Color" is a classic addition for 3-Screw Ruger purists, Western collectors, or C&R rimfire enthusiasts.
