My little rancher has a broken hammer spring after less than 100 rds fired. I bought it over a year ago and don't have reciept, so not looking for warranty, just for a replacement spring. No luck. Can't even get through to heritage, the place I bought it told me to contact heritage or find a parts importer.
Only parts importer I can find sells the whole lower assembly for almost $60 usd plus shipping. I just need the spring that's worth about 80 cents.
Getting pretty annoyed. Has anyone else gone through this ordeal, or found a solution?
I’ve since heard that Gravel Agency is the importer and may also be doing repairs and offer parts. I haven’t tried contacting them yet. They do handle parts and repairs for a lot of FA Mfgs

Yeah, I actually had it repaired under warranty at Gravel. They were pretty good about it, the backstrap had a casting "lump" under the spring so it wasn't sitting flat. It got filed flatter and new spring installed.
don't bother getting a spring, throw the gun away, it is a piece of junk. I broke my first spring under 300 rounds, second spring broke under 200 rounds. I have a 3rd spring which I did not put on as it too will break. Heritage = Junk!!!!My little rancher has a broken hammer spring after less than 100 rds fired.

It's shorter than that one but it will work if you cut it down to sizeIm thinking it may be the same part as the rough rider, if so Numrich has them $15 us

Now thats a proper fix from an engineering perspective. Very nice, the leaf spring is inherently too short on these things with the carbine backstrap, puts too much of a load on the fulcrum.custom made by my buddy who was a gunsmith ( now long retired )
