Grown Ranger Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 NEW IN BOX -- Beautiful set of 5.5" bbl, matching serial number USFA Rodeo's. Includes the handgun sleeves and original boxes as shown in the photos (one box has a small corner crack in the cardboard). Still time for the best present you could get -- HURRY!!! Ruger coiled hand springs and other work -- old springs will be delivered to the new owner (as shown in photo). The original owner kept these in his safe -- and I've kept them in my safe, since their purchase. San Diego location or shipped to your FFL. $2,100.00 or best reasonable offer.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Are you saying, the Main Spring has been converted to Coil Spring?? Or a Coil Spring and Plunger for the Hand Spring?? Also appears the Trigger/Bolt Spring has been replaced?? Sorry but work done is not real clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grown Ranger Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 You are correct. The hand spring was converted to the Ruger style coil -- and the trigger bolt spring was replaced. BTW, when I contacted Long Hunter (Jim) he wrote back to tell me that the correct description of this work performed on Rodeo's was Hammer Spring.

Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It would be the hand spring that they replaced by the coil and plunger, but this is NOT part of Long Hunters basic package The bolt spring could have been replaced by either a flat or a wire spring The mainspring HAS been replaced by a lighter flat spring as LH does not do a coil mainspring I am probably wrong but I believe Bob Munden pioneered the coil mainspring conversion and AWA used it in one of their clones Work done can be confusing without paperwork! I’ve bought more then one LOng Hunter USFAs and folks selling them were unawares of what they had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grown Ranger Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Thanks Dutch. I'm not an avid shooter -- and I bought these Rodeo's, because I liked them. Your help to me, both past and present, has been invaluable. I've corrected my response to include your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Lizard Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 If barrel was a little shorter I would bring them home...But they will need to look for someone who can use them....They are nice looking.... Texas Lizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
