WTB: Found One - Thanks Mudflat Mike

[Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727]

Title says it all. The model number I need is XR3-Red. Some of these are actually marked NXR3-Red. Hope somebody has one, let me know what you have and the price. Don't really need a picture just a good, honest description.

 

Thanks in advance,

It's really a KXR-3, I have one brand new (never fitted to a gun) for $155. shipped. The (K) means the gripframe is made of stainless steel. If you're interested email me @ sonny-34@hotmail.com.

Hello Marlin,

I have one of the al XR3 RED grip frames you are looking for.

How about $$75 shipped?

Pards,

For my general knowledge: what is the difference; XR3 or XR3-RED ?

[Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727]

Marty

 

The XR3 or XR-3 Is for the "New Vaquero" as opposed to the XR3-Red which is for the bigger "Original Vaquero". The XR3-Red will also bolt up to the 32 H&R Single Six giving you the longer grip frame of the "Original Vaquero" which is what I am trying to do. My experience has been that the XR3 grip frame will bolt up to the holes on the frame. But two problems exist, "one" the grip frame doesn't match up in height on the frame and "two" there is a problem cocking the revolver.

 

Others may have different experiences and this answer could be similar to your alias and be, clear as "Mudd"

 

Hope this helps some,

 

Marlin
