Two XR3-RSS 9's

Post your long-barrel RSS's. I love the way these old guns shoot. Both of these are 157XXX serial numbered guns, only cousins. These and 4 5/8 RSS's are my favorites. Do you favor your long-barrels :?:



Oh! forgot! After-market plastic grips from the 1950's.

Sadly, I have none to show - but yours look fantastic, even with the vintage polymeric accoutrements.

I have a walnut grip stickered box for that gun, just waiting for a "filler" to come along..........I also remember a robin's egg blue inside cover on a RSS9 box that went down the trail some years ago......sometimes a man has a lack of common sense..... :roll:

RSS9 "shooter" Stainless XR3-RED grip frame.


RSS7 "shooter"...... cut down 9-1/2" barrel. The gun's too early to have any sort of an optional barrel...

flatgate

Very purdy set of twins Americal.

I love the Long Barreled 22's! One of my display's in the future!

Here's my onlyest one, a XR-3 convertible with box, Bianchi Holster and factory letter.

Mine was stolen before I could make up my mind to shoot it or not..

I got a 9-1/2" barrel a few years back but, I just have not found the time to get it done maybe this winter!

SteveRuger my buddy saw one in Wy. at gun show he had made, for 750 dollars about 10 years ago it was a 10 inch. RSS --black rubber grips looked factory ROLLMARK and ALL--even the blueing 8) he almost bought it --looked so good---

This Year I Am going to get it Done! I hope.........
