This maybe?

ETA: While I was reading through that I had another thought in mind and wouldn't you know it, I found this:
- Never try to affect the outcomes in favor of 'these guys' or 'those guys' by putting stuff into a stage to help or hinder. write 'em right and let 'em rock!
My opinion on that is not SASS related, just from years of shooting, but if you have match after match that caters to one or even a couple of The In Crowd shooters strengths folks will notice and start to lose interest. Sure, it's fun for the folks winning and often times it's unintentional, but good shooters shouldn't need a cheat code and new shooters (at least the ones worth getting to know) shouldn't mind getting bested by better shooters if the stages are about shooting and not about something like an abnormal ability to remember a tortuous shooting sequence or 40 yard speed runs
Yeah, yeah, I know no one in SASS sets up stages with a 40 yard mad dash, I was just going for a hyperbolic example to make the point
It's actually the other way around.
But anyway, if new shooters want to learn how to write stages, have them travel around to other matches for a few years...and learn.

Your welcome. Being a Taylor’s Dealer, now you know.
Merry Christmas"Your welcome"...I'm sure you meant "you're welcome"...you're welcome.
But, as I alluded to earlier, I don't sell the Comanchero unless someone won't listen to reason as there are better options. As far as new gun sales, I sell new guns at just about cost...we look at new guns sales as kind of a Loss Leader. So the time we spend understanding every nuance of the new guns on the market...particularly "Cowboy" guns, is rather limited.
Merry Christmas

Confuzaled for sure and your thinking of Taylor’s modifications to the Comanchero is “Obsolete”. I spewed 50 rounds threw it today during our very brief daylight period then brought it in for a tare down, cleaning and compare. First the lever has not been modified at all. Using the pin and screw holes to index the lever against a brand new lever from my toy box it is an exact match. Only the cam and sides that touch the toggle have been polished. The links themselves have clearly been replaced. The slot is on a different angle than stock links. I am sure they have not been welded up and recut. They are far too clean and precisely made. That leaves the carrier lifter arm. It is the stock arm with some metal added and then filed to fit for timing. The springs appear to be ground and polished factory type flat springs. There is nothing in there I can complain about.
Oooookay...
Maybe the "new" Comanchero has replacement links...do you know what they used to have??? I can accept not knowing what they are now since I've had zero reason to recommend them to other shooters.
But I appreciate you extending my confuzaled state to more than it was intended. So...you think that filing/reprofiling/polishing is...what...State-of-the Art?
Enjoy your rifle...be careful when you compare it to other rifles

I just liked the way you explained it so I used your wording.
Oh - gotcha!
I was a bit confuzaled there for a bit.

The Comanchero was a regular factory rifle when received and is then slicked up by an outside gunsmith then sold by Taylor's as the Comanchero. Hope you got a good price.
Did you mean to respond to me?
I don't have a Taylor's Comanchero...and yes, being a Taylor's Dealer I'm aware of their modification process.

The Cut/Weld methodology is outdated...but is used because it's cheaper than replacing parts. The Comanchero is a decent way to get a better-than-box stock 73.

Did he bring folks in to help him write any section(s) of the book that have experience at being at the top of the "competitive" side of SASS?
Would love to know.
Phantom
PS: No, I'm not buying the book. Everyone here will attest to the fact that I already know everything.

Maybe, that's not an answer.
Can you enlighten those of us who are unaware of the distinction?
I was making a statement... Not answering the question by design
Don't get me wrong as I disagree with the 1927 date...but Winchesters are not my strong point.

Howdy there, Gold Canyon Kid!
Hope you're doing great!
I'm in Arizona too!
Where do you shoot?
Maybe I can come to a match and say hi! We can even shoot on the same posse!
Is 1 April your birthday?
Yippy ki yay...
He passed away...
I'll leave my comments to that...
Stage writing primer

Posted
This is old stage writing...and there are a fair amount of things that are just not...good.
Traveling and experiencing other matches in other States...Regions...will help one recognize what's Good and what's Bad.
