  1. Fer shootin', Bond. Fer looks, Cobra/Cimarron I've got a Bond with barrels in .22lr, .38/.357, .44 spl. (spl only, NOT .44 mag), .44-40, .45acp, and .45 Colt (.45 only, NOT .410).
  2. There's one club around here that allows it. However, like PaleWolf pointed out, once you step outside the rules, where do you stop? "I'd shoot Cowboy Action if I could use my 1100 Remington, a Glock 17, a Ruger 10/22, and didn't have to wear the goofy clothes." I'd definitely shoot my Lugers or S&W M&P revolvers in Wild Bunch. :-)
  3. We have a pard here, a top local shooter, who doesn't clean his Marlin for literally YEARS. People have looked at it at the loading/unloading tables and asked, "How does this thing even work?"
  4. I took an extended vacation in 2005 - bought a new F350 Power Stroke and a new 32' trailer and hit the road. Got back a couple months later and found the power had been off due to a lightning strike on my end-of-the-line transformer for about 7 of those 8 weeks... there was no doubt at all that was too long! I ended up spending a few more nights in the trailer while the house was being cleaned and de-smelligated. How the hell do maggots get in a damn freezer anyway?
  5. I plan to take terminal vacation and quit working on May 12 this year, then file for my state retirement on/after my anniversary date of July 9. Seven months, three days later, I turn 62 and will file for social security. My dad died at 59. His brother, my uncle, died at 58, and it's startin' to spook me a bit, so I'm bailing as soon as I can. I expect I'll work part-time/seasonal winter jobs until such time as the Reaper comes calling, because I just can't stay warm outside in the winter, so I don't do northern winter stuff like snowmobiling, skiing, snow shoeing, etc. Or maybe find somewhere cheap in the southwest to park my trailer and live over the winter months.
  6. 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.
  7. Congratulations! I've got about 4 1/2 months left with the DOJ, then another few months after that to start collecting social security.
  8. OK, let's do it. Five boxes/5000 @ $50 ea = $250 + one large Flat Rate box @ $18.75 and one medium Flat Rate box @ $13.45 = $282.20, OR if you can save me $5.30 and distribute the contents of the fifth box into the other four and use two medium Flat Rate boxes for a bottom line of $276.90, it would be appreciated.
  9. Ya don't see too many original centerfire 1860's or Spencers in this game either. Good grief, shoot what ya want, within the rules of course, and go have fun. Ya'll are going to go into meltdown when someone shows up shooting an 1895 Nagant with a .32acp conversion cylinder.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. These bachelors have been hanging around below my house for a month now, pretty much ever since hunting season closed. Picture was taken a couple hours ago and they haven't moved more than fifty yards.
  13. Doesn't look like a 4 3/4" .44 spl is on the list.
  14. I paid $375 for this P&R dash one, but that was 10 years ago.
  15. GB doesn't add 15 minutes for bids in the last 15 minutes, it RESETS the time to 15 minutes. If you bid at 10 minutes before the auction's end, it doesn't add 15 minutes and go to 25 minutes, it just resets it to 15 minutes.
  16. 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.
  17. Wait a minute... what are the short versions of the .25-20, .218 Bee, .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40?
  18. When the 7 1/2" barrel length was discontinued in 2010, some retailers were selling them for as little as $389. I should have bought a truck load.
  19. 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. #@**%!
  20. A very rare beast - I've read that the 17 is the only 1st gen model made, but I've also read that a handful of Gen 1 19's exist.
  21. Me and Alice Palmer had planned on making Logan, but after a look at the forecast last night, we change our minds!
  22. Twenty three below this morning, and more snow this past week than we had all winter last year. Wind chill temps in other parts of Montana approaching fifty below.
  23. The "belt fed" Mitchell mags were the only 50 rounders I ever tried that worked reasonably well, but the plastic tab on the cover was easily broken off. Ruger or Butler Creek steel lip mags for 25 rounders.
