 Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 2:45 am Post subject: WGP Ranger(s) Restoration |
 |
|
Picked up a pair of WGP Rangers. They're marked "Site Ranger" on the right side of the rail instead of "WGP Ranger" on the left because (I'm told) they were rental versions.
I only have pics of the one currently. Will add the other later.
This one has the more rare factory 12 gram drop out valve. It's actually in great condition but the finish on the body is chipping a bit as well as the grip frame. This one has "upgraded" grips on it from a later WGP. I actually have a set of factory WGP panels already so no biggie there. 
I plan to have the body and grip frame powdercoated satin black.
The second has the back bottle valve and didn't come with the factory barrel. I was able to dig up an era specific 14" WGP barrel for it which is on the way!

Sloowwwwllyy making progress. Fully disassembled. Both bodies are stripped (took about 2 min as it was cheap paint). One grip frame is stripped, the other will be done in the near future. Will post pics of the raw parts once they're ready.

Ok well I finally sent the parts in to have powdercoated. Received word that they're done so I should hopefully have them here shortly. 
Raw parts pic.
