  1. 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 😁

    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 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

    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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
