Widder, SASS #59054

When I use to shoot in the cold/cooler weather conditions, I noticed my CLAY loads in .38 special ammo was sensitive UNTIL I started using MAGNUM primers. The MAG primers give more flash time which apparently help get the CLAYS powder a better chance to fully ignite. That is my limited experience with weather sensitive ammo. When I chronograph my ammo, I normally do it in summer months and also make note of the temperature range during my test. ..........Widder

The Fla State/Michigan game was out of this world. Great game and both team played some GOOD football. TOUGH football. ..........Widder

Congratulations on the retirement, Krazy. I been at mine nearly 2 years and I seem to be busier than ever. ..........Widder

I think FSU will prevail. Michigan will fall, just like Nebraska. OH YEA.......... GO VOLS ! p.s. - as I just finished typing this, FSU scored on a 92 yard pass. So Noles. ..........Widder (Walkin in a WidderWonderLand)

CONFIRM..... If this rifle is the one Junky showed me, the trigger is a 'Slater' trigger mod and in my opinion, they are great. Slater welds the trigger/sear as one piece and smooths out the sear/hammer cocking notch really nice. Then he uses the trigger/lever safety bar to function as a trigger stop. It is truly a neat setup. I have handled this particular rifle and I honestly ran numerous rounds thru it and found it to be flawless in function and feel. My opinion, this rifle has no functioning flaws and if the owner knows how to run a Marlin and feeds it properly OAL ammo, I t

They know a VIP when they see one... Happy Anniversary! ..........Widder

Unless I missed it, You can add 'Debbie Reynolds' to your list, who passed away Dec 28th. Remember 'Tammy'? She is the Mother of Carrie Fisher (who passed away the day before) ..........Widder

I think he was the wagon driver who was shot multiple times by the Indians. He was eating breakfast when a small group of Indians came upon him and they gave him a classic body piecing. Anyhow, I could be wrong but I think he was that wagon driver. ..........Widder

Kid, Although not often seen anymore, there are also some SuperBlackHawk 'Hunter' models out there in .45 Colt. These are stainless with 7.5" barrels. Ruger still offers the SBH Hunter models in .44 Mag. I have one of the SHB Hunters in .45 Colt and they are beautiful to shoot. ..........Widder

And extra loooooooog chrome barrel p.s. - VERY NICE ! ..........Widder

PWB, Love it. I've a fondness for the shorter barreled pistols such as the one you posted. That IS a beautiful pistol. (Years back, I bought a Ruger SBH Hunter in .45 Colt. They didn't make many of them cause the .44 Mag was more popular. Anyhow, factory barrel length was 7.5". I sent mine to Mag Na Port and cut to 5" which is flush with the ejector housing. And of course, Mag Na Ported also. When loaded up hot, the porting is a big asset.) ..........Widder

Thats almost blasphemy..... If it were a 97', it would be blasphemy..... ..........Widder

If I didn't already own a good pair, I would have scooped these up soooooooo fast. The .32 'Vaqueritos' are super pistols and the price on these is really outstanding. BTT for the Dog. ..........Widder

I'm glad he got some blue ink again..... ..........Widder

Atleast you got a stocking..... ACTUALLY, although I knew it was in the box, I had not touched it nor seen it till Christmas Eve. It was a Browning Buckmark .22 Field Target model, 5.5" Bull Brl. and real wood grips. REALLY NICE! I enjoy shooting my .22's as much as any firearm I have. ..........Widder

I was expecting to see something written out in BLUE ink. Looks like Santa forgot to leave a fresh carton under his tree. WELCOME BACK PWB ! ..........Widder

Looks like you've been a good boy this year, Billy. NOW, what did TACO get? ..........Widder

Although I no longer have mine, I was issued (and I wore them) dog tags in 1969 also. ..........Widder

I know perzackly what he said. Colbert probably don't know the difference. ..........Widder

The Bunkhouse Boss also got one of those for Christmas. She loves it also. And when the Bunkhouse Boss is happy.......... Fort Widder is a happier place to be. ..........Widder

Beautiful rifle. Congratulations. Ya got some good gunsmiths in NC that can advise, and help if needed, about your concerns for that loading gate tab. THREE CUT is one of those whose name I can think of at this time. ..........Widder

Looks more like a 'LOG a rhythm' to me..... ..........Widder

I might not ask a lot of questions, but I sure enjoy reading a lot of the post and often learn some good stuff from MANY of the Wire Pards. And I will join in with you with a big 'Thanks'. ..........Widder

Mine is still wrapped up in my safe to open tomorrow evening: Browning Buckmark Field Target, 5.5" Bull barrel. ..........Widder

I would skin his body and hang him upside down off a high bridge for the whole world to see. Then I would pour stinking Pig blood all over him and let the vultures feast on his rotten carcass. ..........Widder
