Phantom, SASS #54973

And if you have smaller hands...lowered and SS'd is pretty damn beneficial. Phantom

Right...that's the "newer" design. Phantom

Less thumb travel = better times and less movement. Phantom

Sometimes...too many times...

Ref. FJT's post. Phantom

I just figured that it had to be written in Latin...since it seems sooooo many folks don't read it. Phantom

Perhaps if the Handbook wasn't written in Latin...

Sorry for your loss...hope he had a good life. Phantom

Me???? Whad I say Whad I say???

That's an question for Boogie...but I don't mess with building my 73's. I send them to Boogie and he does all the upgrades in his bag of tricks. Phantom

You need to feel a Boogie 73. Phantom

Personal reason that if I mentioned here would just get the thread pulled. This said, I hope that EOT 2024 is a resounding success. So for those folks that think I want EOT to fail...sorry...I don't. Hope all have a great time! Phantom

Sorry...I'm boycotting EOT...for now I'm sure my boycott will have a dramatic affect Phantom

I...don't know what to say... But, I do remember in one of my undergraduate classes that it can be a fatal flaw to think that the Market is just like you. Phantom

Soooo... Like WB added like...what...20 people to the market?? Phantom

No worries Billy Legend, I'm not going... Which sucks because I always enjoy seeing you and your much better half Phantom

Not with an Old, Fat and Slow 45 Colt... Phantom

No...not always and more times than not I would guess. Yes if you can get the FP Extension past the hammer. Phantom

If you look at GB you'll see a decent representation of value when sold through GB. But...keep in mind... Then you have Auction fees / shipping / packaging...and then some receiving FFL's will not accept firearm shipments from a non-licensee. These are hard costs. Then you have to know how to best market your rifle on these auction sites in order to give yourself the best chance at receiving the high end of the market value. Phantom

Prices can exceed $1200...but the price you actually sell the gun for as a lot to do with how it's marketed. Pick how you sell it...wisely. Phantom

Me!!! Just kidding... Phantom

Yeah...uhhhh...thanks but no thanks. Phantom

To answer your questions specifically. The hang up isn't with whether "it" works, but rather why would one do it in today's CAS world. The process of Short Stroking the 66/73 has progressed to the point where the old methodology of C&W is simply outdated. Can you still C&W? Of course! Do you keep shooting your C&W rifle? Of course! Just understand that there are better ways to Short Stroke a 66/73. Phantom PS: I think the C&W method yields a stroke closer to the 2nd Gen.

I think your son has a lousy sense of humor. Phantom

I'm sorry for your...and SASS's loss. Every year for the past 20 years...I've...we've had to deal with the loss good folks...sucks. Phantom
