Innocent Bystander SASS #24171

Great price on those 61s. I think they are the most beautiful pistol ever built!

Howdy Pards! My lovely wife and I are contemplating a possible move in the near future. One of the places we are looking at is Lexington, Ky. Do any of you know about gun ranges near there, both for SASS and other types of shooting. TIA Bystander

Howdy Creeker, Sacramento and I will strive to make this shoot, sounds like fun!

In that same show, Potterfield said the 38-40 was a 38 caliber cartridge, when it is actually a 40 caliber.

If you go up that way, you might want to also visit Coloma, where gold was first found at Sutter's Mill. You can go to the other side of the American River and pan for gold--you get to keep anything you find!

I have not been to a match here in Nevada or California that provides lunch at monthlies. I went to one match in Missouri that had lunch between stages 4 and 5 and I gotta tell ya that it was really hard getting back into the mood to shoot after eating lunch at a monthly. Back in the old days (15 years ago) Nevada Rangers used to have a guy named Prospector who loved to cook, he never shot, just cooked. Breakfast was eggs, bacon and toast for a couple of bucks, lunch was hamburgers and hot dogs for $5 after the match. Maybe 12 years ago he stopped coming to the matches and we stopped having food.

Howdy All! Well, I found out it's a take-down model. Don't know if it will take down as it's probably not been apart for more than 75 years, but I'll throw some breakfree on the barrel when I get some time and see if it will budge. For those who want photos, I'll be out of town for the next few days, but I'll post a photo when I get back in town.

Howdy Creeker, We were thinking that we might take in next week's Eldorado monthly. If you put in a little old school stuff, that will clinch it for us! If you've already got the match set up, what the hell, we'll come anyway!

.250-3000

Yes, I know it's not SASS legal, but I've always wanted on! Found out a friend had one that his dad and grandpa used to shoot coyotes and deer on their ranch in Montana and he didn't want it anymore. Rifle dates from 1918-1919. Very cool. Just wanted to crow a little about it!
