Ruger's site is not quite correct.
According to the Red Eagle News Exchange's records, the "magnum only" guns were produced from 1959 thru 1964 . . . 300000 thru about 398349 . . . none known to have been produced after 1964.
Is your frame marked "RUGER SINGLE-SIX WIN .22RF MAG. CAL." or "RUGER .22 CAL, SINGLE-SIX"?
All the "magnum only" guns were 6-1/2" guns. Some were indeed furnished with an extra .22LR cylinder.
In addition, starting in late 1962 Ruger produced the "convertibles" in all the barrel lengths . . . starting at 340259, a number overlap series.
