Blued Ruger Single Ten Question

I'm thinking about picking up a single action in .22 and came across Ruger's Single Ten from Lipsey's. They come in a stainless with 4.68 or 5.5 inch barrels or a blued in 4.68 only. I really like the blued one(especially with the FO sights). Since the stainless models obviously have stainless frames, does the blued model have a blued alloy steel? Or is it aluminum like the other single six series? Any info is appreciated.

Will a magnet help you out in this situation? It is a question since I do not have any idea of the iron content, if any, in the aluminum alloy.

Upon further investigation, theres a 4 oz weight difference between the stainless and blued 4.68 models. I believe its aluminum after all.

The blue Single Ten does indeed have an aluminum grip frame. I bought the first stainless one when they came out in ... 2011? Its a great revolver, in fact, its my favorite 22 revolver, and I have quite a few.
