Three Foot Johnson

Staged picture right off the deck at my house - self timer, no one around for miles, so no safety glasses.

My late buddy JINKS, which stood for "Just an Imaginary Name for Kris Stanley". He was aiming for a steampunk look and pulled it off pretty well. Woke up dead of "natural causes" nine years ago at 48.

?? Regardless of what a manufacturer decides to print, HP will always be higher than BHP. More HP cannot be developed as it is transmitted through the drivetrain.

Ya, bad wording. I don't know how HP can be measured before the crankshaft, but the gist is the engine develops slightly more HP than Stihl's BHP spec.

Rated at 6.7 BHP, so engine shaft HP should be a bit more yet.

This is my last one, I'm done. I started it a couple times this year, but didn't ride it anywhere.

I got a suspension on another board years ago, so I created another account under the name Ian Cognito.

Ya, like NONE. The rumors persist, but the original action is too short for .44-40, and no mention of a prototype with a stretched action has never been found. Technically, I suppose there could have been such a thing - maybe they chambered a barrel for .44-40, screwed it onto an action, and experimented with DEEPLY seated bullets - flush, more or less, as an empty .44-40 case alone is the length of a loaded .44 Henry. George Madis couldn't document one, and The Cody Firearms Research dept of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West has never been able to document one.

I've never seen, shot, or even heard of a W3G match anywhere around here. Depends on where you live, I guess. Population density. Some of you live in municipalities with populations larger than my entire state - we finally topped a million in 2012 and currently only one million, fifty thousand.

Double Whammy! See my Crappy Chappy thread!

This has been in the back of my mind ever since I read it... my Thunderbolt worked well when it was new - I put maybe a hundred rounds through it, then took it to a match and it choked on the first stage. Cleared the jam, and it choked on the second stage, and so on. So why did it work when it was new? Because I was shooting it at a "normal" speed! I got it out yesterday and tested the theory - four 10 round strings without a hitch when shooting slow & deliberate, but it immediately choked when trying to speed up.

I've got one of those, but have never shot it. The rockets have asking prices of anywhere between $125 and $350 anymore, so it would be a really expensive match!

My Taurus Thunderbolt .45 Colt works just fine... ... as a single shot... ... usually... ... not always... ... sometimes it will even get off a 2nd or 3rd shot before it takes a coffee break...

It may not be like this everywhere, but among the 4 clubs I regularly shoot at, there are at least six FFL holders who will perform the service for a nominal fee for other shooters. There are also 2 pawn shops in town that charge me only $20 for a transfer. Twenty bucks, or less, plus a medium or large flat rate box ($13.60/$18.85) is much cheaper than overnight or 2nd day air.

Smokestack's description is a 4 target array... what is the shooting order on 5 targets?

H&R 925 Defender .38 S&W.

The customizing made it rather cheap to buy anyway, lol. I don't know what it is, but no solvent I've tried touches it at all; gun cleaners, brake cleaner, fingernail polish remover, enamel reducer, etc. Cerakote maybe?

... so I can shoot this thing in the next pocket pistol side match.

Um... Uberti catalogs a .44 mag 1873 carbine, #341260. Buds appears to show it in stock on their Web site.
