  1. Most of the "Head Down" generation won't play a game that can't be played from a couch on an electronic device.
  2. Au Contrare Monsuer . . . Our daylight bombing was much better than the Brits were at night. "We" could better see by how much we missed the actual target.
  3. It depends. Within the Open Top Family, ALL the Cylinder/Barrel combinations can be changed around. The Only R/M Barrel I know of that will swap to the Open Top is the .38. In the past, the 44 R/M and 45 R/M would NOT swap to the Open Top.
  4. Allow me to be the spoil sport. Should ya peek, at no time is the trigger finger inside the lever. The screw appliance for the trigger is quite visible once you know what to look for. Then we have the key questions. What difference does it make ?? Who really cares ?? Can some folks actually count past 10 ??. Will an 1892 Carbine actually hold more than 10 ?? "Five-In-One" Blanks ?? Was the Armorer a Girl ?? How come his pocket isn't bulging with cartridges ?? Is he gonna be late for dinner ??
  5. Already has. There are already several "Replicants" powered by small turbojet engines. The two I reference are painted a real striking Red Colour. They are not as fast as the original rocket powered ME-163s though. I do find the references to the power of the engine in "Kilonewtons" as a nuisance since our unit of measure is in "pounds" of thrust.
  6. Suspenders off the shoulders Trousers Un-buttoned Poised over the seat Door closed and Latched
  7. Because 1911 barrels are purpose cut for each length of slide. A Five inch barrel will rattle around in 4 inch or three inch slides.
  8. Based on the design of the '92 and the way it locks up, the Aluminum Alloy receiver should be sufficient. Maybe.
  9. WIND CHILL today - 81 with glorious SUNSHINE. I know, I know, but I'll try and suffer thru
  10. I don't begin to excuse the "runner." However, we live in a very small town that boasts a University. The students seem hell bent on just stepping off into traffic without a glance. Same Same in Pittsburgh around Pitt. University students seem to be universally ignorant. Step in front of vehicles whether a cross walk or not. PLUS ONE for Marshal Mo you betcha
  11. Boo Hisss for the Reviews and for the reviewers. The reviewer in the second Vid never got the fore arm locked on. Neither review provided any "good" information.
  12. HELL YES!! Oh, Wait, Oh NO!! I'm on Mouse Safari!! Can't make it until MAY!! Oh Woe is Me. I'll suffer through though. The "Wind Chill" was 83. I "endeavor to preserver" (stolen famous movie line). You guys have FUN!!
  13. For those who constantly whine about a "Level Playing Field." There has never been a "level playing field" in the CAS game and there never will be. Way too many variables. Run What Ya Brung and quit whining. PLUS ONE for Culpepper you betcha.
  14. I remember walking into a High End western hat store in Denver Colorado. Located in Denver's High End mall. The cheapest hat in the place was over $500 US. That was over 25 years ago. Oof Da.
  15. It really doesn't matter whether one "likes it or not" and the photo shows enough room to the left on the table to stage an open double. If everyone is shooting the same instructions a poor prop design is immaterial. I realize there are those who are gaming for every last millisecond, but you do what you gotta do The double gun, as shown in the picture is a Procedural. PLUS ONE for Smokestack
  16. When shooting smokeless, I like 4.0Gr Tight Group with 160Gr RNFP or 130Gr Barnstormer. I cannot however, recommend using 45 ACP dies. The ACP Sizing Die imparts a slight taper to the case, working it hard and allowing excess Blow-By of gun gasses. I also don't recommend an ACP taper crimp. Better powder burn with a roll crimp. I recommend 45 Colt resizing die A 45 ACP seating die is "OK" I recommend a 45 Auto Rim Profile (roll) crimp die
  17. The DILLON 650 will work well without any "upgrades." However, the "Hit Factor" package and the Armanov Index bearing really really improve the "smooth." Well worth the money.
  18. HA!! None of the above. Opt for a Pietta Hammer Double. Super quality!!
  19. Yes, if you want a good one. Try Murphys Custom Gunleather.
  20. If your loading/reloading on a DILLON, it only takes about a minute to change tool heads from 38 to 357, with a dedicated powder measure for both, or add a minute to swap over the powder measure. Super simple and no hassle. It is true, some rifles don't like 38s. Uberti 1866 rifles are .38 only. Some handguns are short cylinder and won't accept 357. It pays to take minute and look at the specific requirements for your guns. Then adapt as required. Don't over think it either.
  21. Ace - You don't. The only way to "adjust" the head space is to have custom links made.
  22. Whilst probably not on your menu (yet), you might give a thought to APP. Large Powder bar so it won't bridge, 3f APP to the bottom of the bullet (any weight bullet) and fire away. No pesky lube problems (don't need lube, actually), and easy clean-up. Try it - - yule like it
  23. It's very do-able. Not even a hard job. Any decent Gunsmith should be up to the task, including a Dovetail Front Sight. However, I do agree with the Gallery. Once complete, the little beastie wi gonna give ya a whoopin. My Alter Ego, Hacksaw McGurk chimed in and suggested iffin yer gonna cut it, take it back to Sixteen and a Quarter. All or Nothing as it twer. Plus, with a light bullet, and a modicum of filler, you might even get the little beastie halfway ok to actually shoot
