side trail--I use a piece in the shot section of my shotgun shells, using ½ oz of shot is all. Two rotator cuff surgeries mean I have to have very light loads.
works like a champ

glad to hear of your good results
mine went from legally not able to drive due to vision to 20/20 and 20/30. no need for glasses other than safety when shooting and sun when out in the bright Texas sun.
best of luck on the next one--remember the third one is free 😁

Anybody have a place I can adopt as my new hometown/state?
come on down to The Republic, we're Friendly to both folks and guns.
and as I remind everyone: Even Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin were born in another state (Virginia, if memory serves) 🤠

It has, apparently, been approved if I read @Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903’s post correctly PROVIDED the threads are covered with the sleeve thereby making the end of the barrel smooth.
Hugs!
Scarlett
thanks, that was going to be my next question/comment--could a smooth sleeve covering the threads be OK? seems I'm late to the party

Could the threads be removed and the rifle now be SASS legal? (Bubba with a hack saw, vice and a 6-pack come to mind)
recrown the barrel and touch-up bluing and good to go??

It was letting a round advance from the magazine and was keeping the carrier from going up, I could press the round back in the magazine and it would free the jam, that’s the only pic I have I just finished re assembling the rifle
Lord knows I'm no expert but the length of ammo also plays a factor in this. If the rounds are too short, the one ahead of the one on the carrier can come out of the mag tube and jam the works, too

Commandancy of The Alamo
Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836
To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World-
Fellow Citizens & compatriots-
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna - I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken - I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch - The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country - Victory or Death.
William Barret Travis.
Lt. Col.comdt.
P. S. The Lord is on our side - When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn - We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves.
Travis

Serial number 115586 was manufactured in 1900. The attached document explains the evolution of the gun according to serial number and letter prefix.
thanks for this, turns out my 97 was made in 1929, 96 years old

here is mine. Notice I use ¾ oz loads with a piece of foam backer rod to fill up the shot area. Foam backer rod is found in the weather stripping area of the Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/M-D-Building-Products-0-75-in-x-10-ft-Gray-Foam-Backer-Rod-Weatherstrip-for-Ex-Large-Gaps-and-Joints-19101/328231528
use the ¾ diameter rod ¾" long. It extends out the top but is pushed down and inside when the hull goes through the crimping operations.

If visitors show up without a member accompanying them we usually will see if they would like to "shoot a few" after the match. We have a number of us who will stay after and let them learn about and fire our guns.
If they don't want to we are still happy as clams to answer their questions.

back in the day (80's) we kept the fire engines running for the entire call
the ambulances we shut off while we were out of them.
after my time, they started locking the ambulances--sad statement about how the population had changed

my Dad took me to Houston's International AP years ago and we got to ride in one that circled downtown. It was a blast . . . and noisy.
