Can anyone shed light on this? Serial number is six digits, starts with 40.The front sight could gut a deer. BC gap is not seen as looking down onto yellow shiny floor.  |

THOSE ADD ON SIGHTS WERE OFFERED AFTER MARKET IN THE EARLY DAYS

Think the rear is a modified 1911 adjustable sight and the front is a Ruger Silhouette Sight...

That front sight will surely cut up the inside of a leather holster. My old Mk1 Ruger 22 sure did.😁

Looks like one of the “Micro” aftermarket rear sights that dlid into the original rear sight dovetail. I’ve had a couple of them over the years, one on a gun and one in a bunch of parts I bought.

That rear sight looks a lot like the old Ruger steel Mark 1 sight.

I agree on the Micro rear sight.
Front - looks like some "custom" work.
I had a 1957 Single Six identical to that, but the original rear sight was a drift-in, fixed sight, only adjustable for windage. The front was a staked-in blade.
Sold that to a friend/budding Ruger collector and he refused my initial offer of what I had in it. He rounded it up $100 and told me it was still worth a fair bit more than that IF I still wanted to sell it, now that I knew what it was worth. I accepted his counter-offer and we both made out.

That's one way to seal the deal |

First off,, without more of the serial number,, (say 4 digits instead of just 2) that gun dates to either 1964 or 1965. And that serial number range is for a "drift only rear" and a staked in blade for the front. It falls into the model designation "RSS" with the barrel appearing to make it a RSSM model, (6-1/2" long.)
Next,, the sights are not factory Ruger for that model. The front is a pinned sight blade,, and Ruger never offered that type on a Single-Six. The rear sight,, may be from an old MKI series gun. The aftermarket "Micro" sights look a little different,, and unless my faded memory is wrong,, is marked with the word "Micro."
The walnut grips appear to be from an earlier production by the medallion.
