I just bought a used SS Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt. Got a great deal It looks sharp and as NIB---BUT has a trigger guard and hammer from a Super Blackhawk transplanted on it. I tried it out after being warned by the previous owner that it had a hair trigger. The first thing that I did was to reattach the spring that was unhooked to lighten up the trigger pull. Now it has a 1# pull that will go off if the revolver is jarred slightly when cocked. Some more work to do before it is usable I am afraid.:banghead: Now that "deal" is not so good, might even need to send it back to Ruger to be put back to original. This is not the first used firearm that I have had to fix to make safe before I could use it. I have bought 4 or 5 others. At least this guy warned me that it had a light trigger when I purchased it.
Have you ever purchased a used firearm that was found to be unsafe due to someone previously modifying it to make it "better"?
