I picked up a New Model Single Six today and looked up the Serial Number. I hadn't noticed the double line of serial numbers before. 162-165 in one series and 168 in the other.

There were roughly 500 Single-Six serial numbers in that block that were Duplicated at Ruger, from D260-19500 through D260-19999. The Ruger Collectors' Association obtained most of them for sale to the RCA membership including all of the NR4's and NR9's.

FYI
The old serial number dating charts are gone from the SN lookup section of Customer Service, replaced by a search window in which to enter the SN.
https://www.ruger.com/dataProcess/serialHistory/
The website then gives one the model number, a photo, approximate ship date and a link to the latest owner's manual and spec sheet.

Works ok for newer models 90's and newer. Older models you get a, serial number not available, scroll down and select the model and a ship date chart similar to before appears.

I also found that if you have a 'flatgate' the gate isn't listed in the parts that is brought up.

Ruger now has in addition to the serial number tables available on their website, they have a serial number lookup available...
See here:

Can’t decide if this is better or not, probably is as it provides other very basic information but I just am not used to it so

I like it, I had to manipulate it some. Shows my 1977 .41 mag BH as 2017-which is when I sent it in for repair. Does'nt list my '85 Single six-but I found my .41 as it should be on the old list. Shows my 2018 .40/10mm as not in production as well as my .44spl FT from 2014. All my other guns are spot on. Doesn't seem to list the newer Bisley's as such, shows them as Blackhawks- Dave

I like it, but I just looked up the recent 9mm/357 convertible I bought. Ruger says it is a 45 Colt /45 ACP caliber. I double checked to make sure I typed in the correct serial number too. Huh?
