I restored the most valuable gun in the world and the history of it.

An RG66! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The pistol has a lot of sentimental value to the owner so I did my best. The gun looked horrid when I got it. It's needs a second coat of paint but it will be half way nice when I am done.
I have to order a Heritage shell ejector and modify it to fit this gun because the lever broke off at the base. When I got it the cylinder base pin would not catch an the pin and cylinder could drop out at any time. Also buying a set of new grips. The old grips were bowed and wouldn't sit flush with the frame but I took the heat gun and straightened that out but the owner wants a new set. Good luck finding those.

Well I fixed that and re blued everything and painted the magnesium frame. I have to seal paint and then get the ejector rod and modify it and it will be complete. I will have more time and parts in the gun than it's worth but sentiment is sentimental.

The first pic was just the barrel after bluing and part of the joke .The frame is getting a epoxy primer and a ceramic top.coat. It's some kind of magnesium alloy so I had to order a high dollar can of two part epoxy primer. The can has a blatter inside that is broken by pressing down on a red cap on top. Then I am putting a ceramic paint for the for the top coat. I will post pics when I'm finished. I just got a set of black grips yesterday. Just waiting on the top coat. The only other way to do the frame is a electrolysis treatment or something to that affect. I stripped all the black off the frame well most of it anyway. Still working on that until the enormously expensive ceramic paint shows up.

If you can find the shell ejector rod I sure could use it. The pot metal one in this one is broke.

If it's a Rohm then parts can probably be found on GunBroker.
Single action 22 revolvers like this are very similar in appearance. I have one called Western Ranger which I believe eventually rebranded to Heritage. Mine had a broken loading gate which was plastic. I ordered one for a Heritage and it finally fit after a little modifying. Same with a 22WMR cylinder. I scored a Magnum cylinder locally and it seems to work fine.
Funny part was after watching Josey Wales too many times I decided I wanted a "Belly Gun" so I cut about half the barrel off mine which also meant removing the ejector rod and housing. The funny part was that not more than a year after I cut mine down Heritage started making them. As can be seen mine still needs to be drilled and tapped for a shotgun bead front sight.

I will take a look

What is the model number for the gun? Also I assume you only need the actual rod and not the housing and spring. Seems like you could adapt one from another brand of single action 22 if you can't find an original.
