This is the Ruger Old Model Single Six loading gate, factory part R53A, the contoured type in blued steel.
The contoured gate covers the bulk of Old Model production. Check which your revolver has before ordering.
Old Model means the three-screw frame, built from 1953 to 1972 in something over half a million examples. The New Model of 1973 brought a transfer bar and two pins in place of the three screws.
Included: One of the loading gates pictured. Sold individually.
Fits:
- Ruger Single Six, Old Model three-screw, contoured gate production
- Super Single Six and the .22 WMR convertible versions on the same frame
Does not fit:
- Flat gate Single Sixes, the earliest production
- New Model Single Six, from 1973 onward

Fitting: Have it fitted by a gunsmith. Confirm the gate closes flush with the frame, that the detent holds it shut, and that it clears the cylinder through a full rotation.
Please note: Buyer is responsible for verifying correct fit for their specific firearm. Installation should be performed by a qualified gunsmith. Please review all photos, as they are part of the description and show the actual item you will receive.
