Give it a rest Forty. Constant bashing of anything and blaming "Left" with no factual researched information is called TROLLING. It's also called Rumor Mongering.

KING SNAKE - Thanks a bunch. Hate it when I put something away and then can't remember where I stashed it (grumble grumble) YA BIG TREE - Same same as above. Many many thanks. Addendum: This Thank You failed to post when I originally tried to post. Just sat in the "Editor" until today. Wish I knew why this site does that. Very frustrating.

Turkey for Thanksgiving
Colorado Coffinmaker replied to Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
My Sweetheart and I will be on "Mouse Safari" for thanksgiving (If Florida doesn't blow away). We will go out for "Peiking Duck" for Thanksgiving. If at home, we usually do a Cornish Hen or just a turkey thigh. Home made Cranberry Sauce of course. Very little leftovers. -
SO. With all this hullabaloo about the 170 rule. Where does the 170 rule come into play as the shooter turns to plod off to the Unloading Table pray Tell. Or when plowing across the stage whilst picking up ones guns to plod off to the loading table?? Is there a penalty of the 170 when you Break Wind?? Huymmmmmmmm

AND!! Don't forget, the individual State Governments also have great responsibility. The affected State Governors should have already activated their Nation Guard to respond to Disaster Relief. It does NOT all fall on the Federal Government. Constant bashing without regard to individual state responsibilities is pure ignorance. Get Over It PLUS ONE for Blackwater. If folks are waiting for someone else to "fix it" it is a sad commentary indeed. There was more than enough warning of what was to come. Those who fail to heed warnings seal their own fate.

Help ID-ing/finding grips - American Arms
Colorado Coffinmaker replied to Tatanka Tom's topic in SASS Wire
Tanaka Tom Just based on the shape of the grips as shown in your tin Types, I would be prone to guess what you have were made by Pietta. The grips appear to be the "Old Style" Pietta with the "Trombone Bell" shape at the bottom. That style Pietta grip is no longer in production, but there are some folks who still make grips for them. Take a gander on eBay for Pietta Parts. Good Luck -
Hey there H. K. Short answer is NO. To the best of my knowledge, nobody makes "conversion" cylinders for SAA or SA Replicants. So: I have to agree with Abilene and add my professional (retired) Opine. Start with 32-20, then Bore out and Sleeve the chambers. It won't be cheep, but it will be do-able.

OK. When I retired, I put my little book of secrets in a safe place. You guessed it. Now I can't find its safe place. Anybody know the thread pitch/size for the Magazine End Cap on a Uberti Rifle?? Of course, then I have to find a correct Tap.

Do they teach this in the military?
Colorado Coffinmaker replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
YES -
Pietta has been building really nice guns for a number of years now. Quite superior to Uberti, who have never fix'd the abominable Barrel to Arbor fit.

Depending on whether you hold yer tongue right, the Targets will move Left, Right, Up Or Down just as you break the shot. Seen 'em do it I have.

4.4 mile record rifle shot
Colorado Coffinmaker replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Marksmanship?? Not Hardly (Quote the Duke). With that custom built rifle, and the computations provided, anyone could pull the trigger. They didn't show the bracing under the rifle for the shot. The shooter and the team all confirmed, the hit was not repeatable and was more "luck" than anything. Interesting?? Sure. Valuable?? Nah. PLUS ONE for Rye Miles. I couldn't see that target at over 4 miles and the target was 10 feet by 7 feet. -
Kiss an awful lot of "year round" fresh fruit and veggies good bye for a while. These Cretan's will rapidly strangle the economy for nothing more than their own GREED.

Anyone who gets up on the Soap Box to spout off that Chemicals for Powders are not being made are fools. Spouting pure unadulterated garbage. Those whom also spout the Government is attacking the rounds to control Firearms are just as wack-0. NONE of that kind of crap is in any way true. Misguided Rumors, Propaganda and Scare Tactics. However, it is true a large majority of powders and components are being diverged to military ammunition production to help supply our allies in several theaters. This has been added to the shortages generated by Covid shutdowns. Prices on the other hand are being artificially elevated by the manufacturers because THEY CAN. Expecting prices to return to pre-pandemic levels is a pipe dream. It simply isn't going to happen. There are two choices. Pay the prices for what you want/need. Or Quit. And if you think the above is bad, just give the Longshore Men a little time strangling imported goods for absolutely stupid demands.

High Noon at Tusco in the Books!

What is it about 'Peanuts'?
Colorado Coffinmaker replied to Widder, SASS #59054's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Sitting at the Bar, with a Flagon of Red Ale and cracking Salted in Shell Peanuts. Oh YUM YUM you betcha -
PLUS ONE for Larsen E. Pettifogger you betcha!!

Nope. None of the Above (Except for Abilene). I have two Custom built Henry rifles, 19 inch barrels, an OEM 18.5 inch Henry Carbine, an OEM 16 inch Henry Trapper, Two custom built 16.4 inch 1873 Trappers. ALL are my favorites depending on my coin flips.

The "market" has shrunk to the point of being non-profitable. Notice how many Bullet Casters have disappeared?? Clothing vendors?? Etc.???
-
Personal Opine?? Hunters Gold = WAY overpriced. Stop in to any Dunams Sports, Cabella's, Bass Pro, etc., and brows their offerings of PolyCarbonate Shooting/Sports eye wear. Perfectly serviceable shooting glasses for 35 Bucks. Might even splurge all the way up to 100 Bucks. Nah. Wrap-a-Round PolyCarb for 35 Bucks do just fine.

BECAUSE!! That is the short answer. The real answers (plural) are: The rule book use to be just a few pages. Now, it's a Novella and doesn't fit in "Pocket Size." In its current length, expensive to print "Pocket Size" with Front and Back covers, for limited consumption. All of which comes down to "Not Real Practical" Or: BECAUSE!!
