Rangers are great guns.
If you look around occasionally you'll see stock class bodies show up for sale. There are a few floating around.

I actually believe these are breach drop, not bore drop. As usual, Bacci Paintball is a great resource for information on these:
I know that you can use both Ranger and Phantom internals in a 007, so you likely have some cross compatibility on your side. If your Ranger doesn't have a way to adjust the velocity you can likely swap in a CCI bolt. It won't be a perfect plug and play, you'll likely need to modify the sear, but it could be worth looking into.
In regards to the barrel, the o-ring on the bolt should seal, however not all barrels are made equally so you'll probably need to find one that suits you. The barrel you have looks very cool.
Have you had a chance to shoot it yet?

Forgive my lack of Nelson knowledge, but when the bolt loads a paintball into the barrel, that o-ring should fit inside the barrel, and seal? Was looking at my stash old unused cocker barrels and noticed that some fit the bolt nicely, others have no chamfer, etc. The barrel it came with definitely has a bit of resisitance to the bolt tip o ring being inserted into the bore, albeit being chamfered.

That's not the stock ranger valve nut and cup seal. For whatever reason rangers have a solid brass cup and there is an oring on the back of the nut it seals against. It's not a bad thing that it's been changed, I've never got mine to shoot on hpa with the stock valve train but it works great with a lapco #6 power tube.

Thats a light weight (Pretty sure) valve spring and a heavy main spring.
As Sethzilla said Most Nelsons won't cock unless you have them pressurized.

That's definately a bore drop bolt. Does the asa have an adjustment screw in it? Many Nelson's did velocity from there.

Tracer bolts are too long to fit in the Ranger unless he was milling them shorter to fit?

Yes Greystone, Autococker springs will work in Nelson based guns.
