Dispatch from the Montana Territory... Well now, pards... word has drifted across the prairie that Forsyth, Montana set a blisterin' new record yesterday afternoon when the mercury clawed its way to 118 degrees around five bells. Some folks blame it on the weather. Me? I reckon it's because we're a mile closer to the sun up here in Big Sky Country! With my faithful covered wagon pointed toward Great Falls for the Montana State Championship, I've been making final preparations. The ice box is packed to the brim with cold, clean drinking water, an extra sack of ice is tucked away for emergencies, and every black powder smoke wagon has been inspected and is ready to make glorious clouds of holy smoke that could light the prairie ablaze ! If you're headed this way, don't forget your hat, your sunscreen, and enough water to float a riverboat. The forecast may be hotter than a $2 pistol, but that won't stop a gathering of the finest cowfolk west of the Mississippi. We're fixin' to spend several days slingin' lead, ringin' steel, tellin' lies around camp, and making memories under Montana's endless skies. Whether you're chasing a state title or just looking to enjoy good friends and great stages, this promises to be one rip-roarin' championship. Safe travels to everyone hittin' the trail. We'll see you on the firing line where the smoke is thick, the laughter is louder than the gunfire, and the hospitality is as big as the Montana sky. See y'all in Great Falls! — T-Square

Outstanding....Thank you! The is another out there from i believe the Naval Academy for morning colors its filmed in black white...

If TO calls squib versus shooter calls squib, barrel later found clear either way... See post four here: And on edit: Respect your opinion for the OP question and also for considering there may be a difference in approach for a new versus an experienced shooter.

"In the case of a suspected squib", It doesn't say the TO has to be the one to suspect a squib, it just says the TO will instruct the shooter to make safe... If the shooter thinks its a squib then the TO instructs the shooter to make safe. If at the ULT its found there is no squib the shooter gets a reshoot. As per the original Call i would call MSV. I've never seen a shotgun hull not come out of an open SxS unless the extractor slipped over the rim or the case head separated from the plastic. If this is a new shooter i would explain the rules with broke guns.. if this was an experienced shooter then they should definitely know better and would be flirting in SOG territory

Found what I needed !

part timers ?

Sometimes!

Yeah, we'll see how fast I knock that tall front sight out of the groove! Sure fits the pocket nice though...better even than my I frame smith 32.

No need to steal ‘em! Folks have to lock their empty horse trailers to keep from being “given” a horse!!

Another game of 5-D chess. I'll just sit back and watch.........

Wishing Claudia the best of life in her new home in Washington state! She has moved out of Arizona to be closer to her family and she will be greatly missed by her Arizona community. Washington's gain is our loss. Claudia has always been a bedrock of cowboy shooting in Arizona and she will continue to be a member of our club that she founded with her husband, CS Fly. We are hoping she makes a road trip back sometime to shoot with us and at Bordertown!

Fifteen years ago, I sold Korrupt Karl a pair of 18" Uberti .357's.

Around the Gatlinburg area, the "infraction" is scaring the tourists. No ticket, no arrest, nothing on the books. An officer may still approach, verify your permit or otherwise your right to carry permit-less, and spend a little time explaining it takes time out of his day when he has to verify a carrier because a tourist called it in. Consider a 911 call to dispatch (story I heard locally): Is he handling the gun? No. What is he doing? Walking down the STREET! I can see him. He has a GUN! Where is the gun? IN A HOLSTER ON HIS BELT!!!!! Sigh, we will send an officer to talk to him. As a practical matter if you really do want to go about your business without answering friendly questions (yes, many are) and comparing carry guns with fellow carriers, keeping it covered is simpler. Mine is barely covered, no officer has any trouble spotting it, does seem like the tourists are blind to it with the slightest bit of concealment.

Bucky O’Neils in Prescott. Legendary Guns in Phoenix is well known for old west guns.

They may have the resources, but not the courage. I'm sure that when this thing IS over, they'll gladly take advantage of the result while at the same time somehow blaming the whole thing on us. Sounds like another example of NATO at work.

Sorry T.K., a 1866 carbine stock will fit an 1873 carbine, but there will be a noticeable amount of extra wood sticking out on both sides of the receiver. The brass receiver of the 66' is just a little wider. I just went through this two months ago after buying an extra stock to cut for my wife's 1873 carbine. I didn't feel like removing the extra wood on the 66' stock they sent me. The butt plate is also brass on the 1866 carbine stock. Cimarron replaced it with the correct stock - no fitting was required when using the correct 1873 stock.

There are actually numerous other entities with sufficient Naval resources to do it. Most of them see it as a result of our interference with Iran and therefore "our" problem to solve. It ain't gonna get "solved" any time soon.

Well H.K. I'm kinda the Poster Kid for Brass. Almost ALL of my match rifles are Brass Rifles. Bunch of Henrys and 1866s. Although a "Mares Leg" isn't/won't be SASS match legal, I must agree wid ya. An 1866 as a "Mares Leg" would be a rather fun project. So says the guy that shoots two custom built Henry "Trappers." After all, Iffin ya can't win the Kewpie Doll, ya should look really cool tryin fer it!!
