  1. I had a pair of Wranglers that were so darn stiff it was hard to cock and the loading gate was stiff as well. I changed the main springs and it helped a little. 
    Heritage had a rebate and a LGS had them in sale. I wound up paying $69.00 for each pistol. I bought a pair and they were just fine out of the box. I sold the Wranglers and I shoot the Heritages all the time! I even bought extra cylinders for $29.95 each. I’ve had no problems at all and they shoot great!

    THAT'S NOT A GUN!

    It’s a paintball gun! The lefties will  push something like this as far as they can.

    Dear friends,

         Thank you all for attending the last Shenango River Rats match of the outdoor season on Halloween at the Brookfield Conservation Club. A good time was had by all!
         Pennsylvania’s Johnny Rails was our match winner!  Congratulations, Johnny Rails!  Thank you for attending and thank you for your generosity and continued support all these months. 
         Lefty Leadshot finished strong in second place; it was a close race.  Thank you for all your assistance and help, Lefty.  
         Corporal Silverado was our third-place winner and one day he’ll be takin’ home a blue first-place ribbon!  
         Heartless Hannah was our Top Lady Shooter finishing in the Lucky Seventh place spot.  Heartless Hannah is an asset to any posse!
         Duelin’ Diehl, Brunswick Kid, Jocko, Walks Far, and Ridge Runner almost had a clean match. They were our lucky brown ribbon winners. Missed it by one! AwwShucks!
         Congratulations to all our winners and contestants!
         

         Our next match will be on Saturday November 9, 2024, at the Western Reserve Fish and Game Association in Niles, Ohio.  We will begin our indoor season as the Lake Park Raiders starting in November and running to May 2025 when we’ll be back outdoors at Brookfield. 
         

         Thank you for attending and thank you for your continued support.
     

    All the best,

    He's also the guy who came up with the 1/3 2/3 scale for the art world.  That scale is repeated over and over in nature and our brain seems to like it.  

    Thanks, never heard of him. I guess I’m not edumacated🙄

    A Facebook profile has been hijacked and is friends with many SASS shooters. Do not send any money. I won’t mention her name here but you can see it on my Facebook page John Barleycorn. I don’t want any of my friends being taken by this scammer. The scammer has blocked me and her posts have been reported to facebook but they are not pulling the posts down.  

    I saw you posted “scammer” on your FB post selling a car and some other stuff!

    Nothing like a little assault with a deadly weapon to support your candidate.

     

     

    It's a great ad in favor of gun bans.

     

    I agree a great ad for gun bans!! Stupid video! Just what the left needs to push gun control!😡

    Yes, I have always resized new brass that came in a bag, as almost every single time I found at least one that was no longer round. Did a bunch of 38 Special Starline brass that way last night. 

    Sent you a pm

    What is "factory ammo"? :) Just kidding, good looking out. I love Hornaday bullets for reloading, but their brass and loaded ammo sometimes leaves something to be desired. Have you contacted them about this? The very few times I dealt with Hornday customer service, I was quite pleased. 

    No I bought one box of 20, not worth my time to contact them. I’ll never buy them again. I bought some factory to get started on reloading.45. I’ve been reloading .38’s which is my main match caliber. 
    I bought a couple .45 rifles from a friend who’s not shooting anymore. They were originally mine 15 years ago. 
    I buy all my bullets from a local guy. Patriot Casting in Ohio.

    I run all my factory ammo through my crimp die just to make sure of the oal and crimp. Especially if I'm using them in my rifle.  I've had the same problem (jamming) so I started doing this.

    Like I said, I should have known better. Good idea to run it through a crimp die, thanks!

    The very first stage I was a wee bit nervous, since the last time I competed against a timer was probably 25 years ago, IDPA. I think. I even missed one round from the pistol - 10 YARDS...😁 Egads.

    But seriously, it was a great time, and I took third place on the Cowboy division. I think there were three people...honestly, it doesn't matter, I have a pin to put on my hat. I met some neat people, and had a great time, and my wife tolerated the whole thing.

    Awesome! That's what it's all about! Welcome aboard!

    I bought some factory .45 colt ammo. The one on the left is Hornady the one on the right is Magtech. The Magtech works great in my 73 but the Hornady jammed up my rifle. Notice no crimp or cantilever. I should have known it would jam (dumba$%)  as the bullet got pushed back in the case!😡😡

    (My reloads worked great too )

    My reload with red bullet.
