Old Ruger 3 screw single six manufacture date?

[Riven]

I just purchased an old ruger and would like to confirm the date it was made.
SN 319###
If im doing it right it looks to be a 1956!

Can someone confirm this please.

This may or may not help, I had one made in the early 70's great gun...should have kept it.

Thats where I found my info. but my SN is 6 numbers Rugers sample is only 5. Thats why im unsure if the date is right.
31857=1956
Since mine starts with 31 & no others do I have to believe its a 1956.

Try this page. You have to figure out which model of Single Six you have.

Nice gun! Was the lower refinished?

Im going to dura coat mine before it goes on EE
Ruger said it was issued as a 22 mag but now is 22lr but with matching SN on the cylinder so that makes it a Super Six. They said it wont say super six on the frame either. Dont know why?
Wish it was not missing the mag cylinder

Super Single Six, I think refers to the adjustable sights. It is only .22LR
I bought the gun from an estate so I don't know if there was a magnum cylinder.

Now that I compare the frames mine has a beefier top strap
