    Default Ruger Single Six

    Just picked up a new model single six. It looks like the back strap and trigger housing are painted cast. I'm guessing aluminum. Can anyone tell me for sure? Thanks.

    You might want to try a magnet on it.

    It's an alloy. Can't say for sure it is aluminum but cuts and acts like it. Early models were anodized, later models were painted/powder coated.
