Not sure yet, but I'm gonna try to make it down and hopefully shoot with the Burt bunch.
Slater ain't sure he can make it.

Here I sit, having a little snack after having a nice day. I got up early, reloaded 200 rounds of .32 H&R and 140 rounds
of 9mm. Went and picked up some 2-cycle oil and some fresh gas for my yard equipment.
I even called to verify my Doctors appointment next week and even made my lodging reservations for the TN State.
Basically, a good day. YET, while minding my own business (which TW knows nothing about), I get
a phone call while eating a Taco to tell me I needed to view The Saloon and defend meowndangself.
Well, because nobody really listens to TW, much less believe anything he says, I'll just sit here, finish my taco,
drink a cold Pepsi, and enjoy my evening knowing that TW lives 3 1/2 hours away and glad he ain't my neighbor.
TW is antsy because he had a colonoscopy today and it nearly gave him a brain concussion.
His doctor is Dr. Smellfunkus, notable for his special technique and leaving lipstick marks on cheeks.
TW is his favorite patient.
Like I've said before........ ya just can't make this stuff up.

I was on a Posse at the SouthEast Regional last year with Lucky Lead Pepper and TN Williams. BOTH are super TO's
and hard working posse members.
Obviously, Randy St Eagle has been a good example and teacher.....

I showed them the jar I keep the tick in I pulled off of Bigfoot back in the early 2000s.
I can verify the 'Bigfoot Tick'.
TW actually owns a nice piece of forest area (thick woods) in Middle TN with a couple
small caves. On one of his 'Speedlunker' expeditions, he found some signs of
what most folks call 'Bigfoot'. Soooooo, guess who he calls and recruits to help
'ambush' this strange creature on his property? Yep..... ME, the sucker.
So, this creature walks out of its cave around sundown and TW jumps on its back.
All he could grab was fur.....and a tick what looked like a 'Vampire'. That tick
sunk its fangs into ole TW's hand and he took to squealing like a little pig.
The creature ran over me like I wasn't even there. For the record, the creature
wasn't real big or monstrous...... but more like a cross between a bear and a dog
We had to pry that tick outta TW's back hand, which he still has fang scars today.
He put it in a mason jar with hopes to train it to do tricks........ like: sit, stand, rollover,
suck, etc. So far, its learned how to sit and suck.
I'll share another SECRET with the Wire pards, just don't tell TW I told you so.
You can talk about his family, wife, truck and job..... but he don't like anyone
to talk about and make fun of his pet chickens.

I think someone will get a 3.99 this year, it will probably be you!!
Randy
Grudgingly, I've lost a lot of speed.
But, when ya slack off for 4 years and get older, its gonna happen.
I'll still have fun and I might even help out a little and work the timer for some
shooters.
BUT..... you could be right in that SOMEONE might hit that 3.99.
And although Red Knee isn't planning to be there, he still has time to change
his mind and jump in line.
Remember, Red Knee was on the 3 man team of 1897 Cowboy shooters (along with
Missouri Traveler and myself) what beat the 3 man Wild Bunch shooters a few years back.
Us Cowboys loaded from the belt for about 25 KD's and the WB shooters stoked their 97's
for their 25 KD's. It was close..... but the Cowboys whooped em.
I could be wrong about the number of KD's, but it was between 22-25 if I remember
correctly.

You are right Slater can really make that ‘87 sing!! I expect we’ll have some mighty fast double shooters as well!!
Randy
Randy,
a few years back (the last time RED KNEE visited Wartrace), I ran the 6 KD's in 4.24 seconds.
This year, I'm gonna bring a few boxes of AA Low Noise, Low Recoil shells and anyone
who breaks that match record will get a box (25 rounds) of shells from me.
I hope its an incentive for those capable to bring their 'A' game and wear it out.

Ole Chicken Catch-a-Torey is pretty fast. But, he's getting old, like me.
And speed is a faint memory. Slater is still young and more important, he's
pretty good with that 87.
On a side note (and TW don't like for me to talk about this), CC is having some eye
problems and really don't see very well anymore. It all started last summer when
he tried to ambush a porcupine and the porcupine was in heat.
Needless to say where most of the quills were stuck. AND..... needless to say
how much fun ole TW hisowndangself had removing those quills. Its a never
ending saga.
If Hollywood ever wanted to do one of those weekly 'Real Life' shows with
never ending events, TW's place would be a hit show.

We still have plenty of room if you want to come and shoot with us. According to Widder it will be worth coming just the see the Speed ‘97 Shotgun Side Match.
RANDY,
it won't just be the 97 speedsters, but Slater on his 87 is probably one of the best 87 shooters
you'll ever see. He 'drops 2' down the action and slam fires that lever
open and closed before your favorite huntin dog can twitch its eyeball.

Just wait until the owner has an emergency and someone little child dies because the vehicle owner can't move the car.
A good lawyer will contest the car was legally parked 'with circumstances', and etc, etc, etc.........
City will lose a law suit for a few mill..................
The car behind it doesn't seem to be in violation.

I purposely jumped #349. It happens sometimes due to either request or a JEDI requesting a particular number
within reason.

It did not feed factory ammo. That is moot now as I got the extractor out and it feeds fine with it out.
If the rifle feeds fine with the EXTRACTOR out, that should be the starting point of
fixing your problem.
As we discussed on the phone, you might need to lighten up the spring tension
on that Extractor.
If that spring still has a slight 'bend' in it, straighten it out.
BUT, it might be a good idea to let us know if that Extractor is a 1-piece or 2-piece.
You will know if its a factory 2 piece if the spring is 'Pinched' into the lower section
of the Extractor body.
Call me again if ya want.

I'll probably get one and see what I can do with it.
When the video showed it apart, the bolt and carrier seemed to be like the Henry. Sooooooo, lets see what we can
do to it.

Yet another TW story:
This past weekend, I was visiting TW and helping him inventory his gun collection.
I noticed inside one of his safes was a small bundle of money.... looked like $50's $100's.
AND, he also had 3 eggs sitting amongst his pistols.
I said..... "Jesse, looks like you got a few thousand bucks sitting here and 3 eggs. What
are you doing with 3 eggs in your safe"?
NOTE: Jesse is what TW's friends calll him, both of them.
Anyhow, TW says,,,,,, "since I got out of the military, every time I told a lie I would save an
egg and put it in my safe".
I replied...... "Gosh, 3 lies in 26 years ain't bad.
TW replied........ "Well, not actually. Ya see, every time I get a dozen eggs, I sell them.
Thats where all that money came from".
Ya know, a feller just can't make this stuff up.

Ashia is one of the twins isn’t she?

Yes. Kadisha is the other. I don't get to see her often since she joined
the Merchant Marines.
Krazy Kajun knows as much about her as anyone. I think he and her
write each other.

Sometimes I "run out of gas", sometimes I get lost or see something scary on the passenger side of the car.
Atleast I don't cut a hole in the bottom of the popcorn bucket....anymore.
Oh...... so you're the one.
She sometimes mentions something about 'Little Man Popcorn' and nobody knew
what she meant. Now we know.
EDIT: 'LMP' will become your new nickname for 'Little Man Popcorn'.

You may have lost cousin Martha, but remember you always got Ashia. She is an

No problem, TW.
But I don't understand why you want those hemi's in a jar unless you plan to
substitute them for a chickens foot for Capt BB.
Cousin Martha joined the Convent. She said to tell you 'HI'.
She ask if you still run out of gas every time you drive down a country road
at night.....

8 minutes ago, Still hand Bill said:
Any pictures of your mod? I had two of them and no luck. I do like the design and think it should be an improvement, but my gun didn’t like them. Would jam regularly just like the OP.
Sorri, I don't have any RPP extractors. My mod was at the 'hook' area. I slightly beveled it inward on the bottom portion
to help in the 'Angle/Slant' feeding of the modified carrier (Widdermatic).
But to keep this in perspective, I only saw a FEW Marlins that were using the RPP Extractor and even fewer owners that
requested me to put one in their rifles. Basically, a slightly smoothed up factory extractor worked better in Widdermatics
than the RPP extractor. I quit working on Marlins nearly 4 years ago and I probably hadn't seen any RPP Extractors in
6-7 years.

TN State application information:
Its rumored (and I don't know where this rumor started) that the original
application for the TN State had a "Please don't put me on a Posse with.........."
space but when TW found out about it, he had them remove it because he
didn't want to be the only one on his Posse. He hates picking up his own brass.
I wish folks wouldn't start these kind of rumors. Everybody knows that TW has
good friends....... and BOTH of them would be on his Posse!

.22 as a good practice gun?
in SASS Wire
Posted
Just my opinion, but.... most any trigger time can be beneficial.
If your focus is on wild, uncontrollable (uncoordinated) speed practice, then you'll probably experience
some sloppiness in your stage transitions, etc....
BUT... if your trigger time (practice) has some structure of a particular goal, and your efforts in practice are controlled and focused on
your goals, your trigger time will probably be very beneficial within the shooting abilities you have.
YES, a good .22 rifle/pistols can help you gain. And yes, the Widder Soft Stroke Henry lever .22 is a darn good set up, especially
with Slater's trigger job, which he can give a good sub 1 pound trigger. These modified rifles are capable of sub 2 second 10 shot
runs if the shooter is capable of running that fast.
