  1. Standard small pistol primers. Brand is up to you.

    OLG

    Whatever is available or least expensive. If I'm looking to buy a new or used gun and it says anywhere in the description, "action job" "tuned" "slicked up", I avoid it like the plague. I'm a middle of the pack shooter, so a "tuned" gun ain't gonna do me any good anyway. ;)

  2. Your PM box is full.

     

    You should have 7000/7 boxes left - if you can distribute the contents of the 7th box among the other 6, I'd take what's left @ $50/1000 + $37.50 for two large Flat Rate boxes for a total of $387.53. Each box will be 62.5 lbs in lead alone, so wrap the inner package with a couple thicknesses of plastic tarp material, duct tape the crap out of it, put an address on the inner package too, and they should make it here just fine. ;)

  3. FRONTIERSMAN
    Any Main Match percussion revolver with non-adjustable sights
    (Note exceptions listed re:dovetailed sights)

    . (Exception: The 1873 Uberti percussion revolver is not allowed.

     

    THE PLAINSMAN
    This event requires two .36 caliber or larger Frontiersman Category style percussion revolvers,
    shot Duelist style.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Seems pretty clear cut to me - not legal in Frontiersman or Plainsman, but not excluded in any other categories.
    Oh, and with a little work, they CAN be converted to centerfire. ;)
  4. Kimber Solo. First Kimber I've ever owned, and damn sure the last. I don't think it's ever made it through an entire magazine without a jam of some sort or another, using Kimber's recommended ammo selection, as well as a host of others. I bought a new Kahr CM9 for just over half the price of the Kimber, and it feeds EVERYTHING. Same size, half the price, and shoots any 9mm I've tried in it.

  5. It ain't just newer vehicles -

     

    A couple years ago, I changed the starter on my '82 Honda Civic. It's right there in the open, easy to see and get to, but one of the bolt heads isn't visible... because it comes in from the other side. It involves a tricky maneuver using a universal joint and two extensions - two because one long one is too long to fit. Ya gotta stick one up there with the socket and universal, get it on the head of the bolt, then stick the other one on without the socket falling off the bolt head. I invented some new words before I was done. #@**%!

  6. I read about CAS in some publication or another 'bout 20 years ago, asked around and found a match, and went and watched and asked a bunch of questions. I already had some suitable shotguns, and a pair of 4 5/8" .45 Blackhawks, one blue and one stainless. I went to one of the local toy stores and bought a 24" stainless Rossi '92 .45 Colt, and attended the next match with the new '92, the Blackhawks, and a 12g Rossi Overland hammer coach gun. :)

  7. I've went through several hundred thousand rounds in my life, and can't recall having a primer failure with a reload with ANY brand of primer that could be directly attributed to the primer. Other folks have posted here about having X% failures with XXX brand primers and "I'll never use them again", but I'm inclined to believe there were circumstances involved other than a "bad primer".

  8. Our friend and fellow shooter, Michael Phillips aka Two Fat Phillips, passed away November 26. Although a new member here, he was a very avid and knowledgeable gun enthusiast, and loved Cowboy Action Shooting. He will be missed.

  9. I live off the pavement aways and I don't see my cats from March to December. Last year, 9 of 'em showed up out of the woods when it got cold. This year, only 1 so far. I'm kind of a softie and build a small insulated shelter for them several years ago, and put out a heated water dish and store-bought food when they show up. ;)
