Ruger branded prop rods

Just curious if there were any "SR" logo prop rods or if the current "R" ones like I have below, are all that was ever made. Thanx!

who sells the "R" ones, I know that S&W stopped selling theirs a while back.................

Ruger sells them to dealers only and I do know they're pretty tightly allocated.

Compared these to the blue S&W ones and aside from the color/logo, they're the same.

I was in a Gun Store this last week and they had about 8 to 10 of the Ruger props. All for sale at $5.00 each!

I have a bunch waiting for phase II of the gun room to take shape (on hold again - stupid furnace :x ) Will have each shooter propped up on one. 8)

What was the name of the gun store. do you think they still have them..

Made my own. 8) Flatgate may show a picture... :wink: I recall The RCA had doweled prop rods made with the old Red Backgnd Silver Blackhawk, back in the eighties. Simply a grip emblem inset on the end of a 5/8th or 3/4" dowel rod........Show much better than the large emblems, I suggest..........

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some myself.
Like your idea to Mike!!!~

Frankly, I also ground the loop (for the keyring) off of some Ruger emblems(Potmetal type) which were about 1"+/-(Ruger keychain and/or Pinetree casting givaways) and goop glued them onto/over the Taurus emblem on a bunch of Taurus translucent prop rods a closed business gave to me in a box of "Take this stuff, or it's going out to the white elephant, Mike". They worked as well, just larger as noted earlier..... 8)

I made some a while back to see if there was any "REAL" interest.
A little, but not enough to make it worth one's time.
Everybody that replied to my post... I offered to send them one for free, just needed a address.
Out of 15 only 4 PM'd me a address.... go figure.

And sorry I think these look way better than the Plastic & Paint.
3/4" dowel, Dark Wood was Walnut, Lighter wood was Cherry.
The Medallions cost $2.50ea, the Dowel was ~$2 ea, a little epoxy, satin, sandpaper & scotchbrite.
I'm sure one could buy the wood for less in quanity.
I cut them just under 5" getting 6 out of a 30" dowel. (~$12)
The Walnut/ Cherry does look good but don't know if I would spend the extra $$,,, would probably just go w/ a hardwood dowel (~$4) and stain it dark next time, after all, it's just a stick. :roll:

G2, THAT IS THE TICKET! VERY NICE! CLASSY, TO SAY THE LEAST. 8)
