  1. true, my 1887 has his name engraved forward of the lever that is visible when the lever is opened
  2. Would the weight of the suppressor affect the gun's balance? Different from a SASS legal one?
  3. remember, we can trade brass for lead at Fast Tracker's contact cr
  4. 80 years old here 40° is the minimum 95° heat index is my top, even though we have fans in all our stage buildings
  5. We have labels above each bank of targets See our last match booklet attached4-25 C Booklet.pdf
  6. try messing with a goose-🪿-then take off running
  7. In another life, I was a 5th-grade teacher for 35 years. I always told my students, if they ever left the U.S. and were asked, they were Texans, not Americans. Did receive a bit of flak for some of our yankee parents 😁
  8. Never ask a man where he's from. If a man's from Texas, he'll tell you. If he's not, why embarrass him by asking?
  9. One of our Top Guns had stated on FB that he shot a 1-2-1-2-3 sweep, a favorite of his We tried it: 1-2-1-2-3, repeat was not a winner with the peanut gallery
  10. I salute all of your comrades who defended your countries
  11. offer him my thanks for his service I "only" got to go to RVN one time, did come back with 3 Purple Hearts, though
  12. I was a "leg" Ranger, earned my wings right after Ranger School
  13. while they taught me PLFs, I usually ended up doing PLCs Parachute Landing Fall Parachute Landing Crash (feet, butt, head)
  14. Not a fan of their safety on the left side. found an after-market "filler" so the curve of the frame is maintained on that side
  15. thought this was a photo of MY setup. Exactly like I have mine. I see a difference when I get to the uncrimped ones. I do crimp the day before--one of my heroes, Rawhide Ranger, did a study and said the crimp lessens over time. I used to do the crimping when I reloaded them, but I find it's better if I do it close to the time I'll be shooting
  16. About 6 months ago, I was souvenired* with a Berry Bullets Model 400 Tumber that had been through the wars. I called the company in need of a new lid, and they said the machine had a lifetime guarantee and sent a lid and BOWL for free. Life was good. (*souvenired was the term the Vietnamese children used when they wanted something for free: “GI, you souvenir me Coke?”) Time passed, and the mounting bolts broke off the motor—these bolts both held the motor together and attached it to the frame. Easy-peasy, email the company explaining my needs: 4 mounting bolts—crickets. Tried again, this time with pictures to show the parts that were broken—more crickets. Third time's a charm, I offered to buy the parts—the silence was deafening. I could understand them not covering these parts, but a simple reply would have been considerate. Ended up ordering the parts and getting the tumbler back in service, good as new. Now to find where I put my extra cleaning media.
  17. useful as a screen door on a submarine
  18. Rather than spring for the high $$ commercial ones online, I took advice from a SASS form cowboy, and ordered parts from Amazon: a battery box (five for $9), and a pager vibrator motor (six for $10); this way you can share with your friends at a cost of $4-5 each. With a bit of wire, solder, and a few rubber bands, I was able to make a nice one for use on the powder baffle. Here is a shot of the two parts and then the entire setup. The red arrow shows the vibrator motor rubber-banded to the baffle.
  19. Going to give this a try. got them on the way (for my MECs)
  20. I rubberband an $8 aquarium pump to the side of my powder measure. easy to move from one measure to another
  21. Glad to hear you got it cleared. I went to a tube in a bottle rather than the box for spent primers. Not sure if it would work for all mounting arrangements.
