Widder, SASS #59054

He is a likable feller................AS LONG AS HE STAYS IN HIS PART OF TENNESSEE and don't come over into my part. 😀 ..........Widder

This is just too good to keep secret, soooooooo, here is the story. The 'Identity' of TN Williams wife was recently stolen. As I was expressing my thoughts and displeasure of such news, he told me that whoever stole it was spending LESS than she did. So, he decided not to report it stolen. 😀 Ya gotta love his outlook on life! ..........Widder

Hey Scarlett..... There is a post on the thread about 158 grain bullets and H110 powder that states "Outlaw Bullets is under new ownership". I'm guessing that somebody has your company name mixed up with another company and is highly confused. As for me, I haven't heard any negative rumors concerning your excellent bullets. Keep up the good work. ..........Widder

This ^ would be the most logical advice to start with. GJ give good info. ..........Widder

Call Fast Eddie first and see if he has any available at this time. Your other options are wisely numbered. Best regards ..........Widder

There once was a worker who 'shirked' He thought shirking work would work but because it was more work to shirk work he discovered his shirking wouldn't work. ..........Widder. (Only a pro at shirking work could create such a beautiful poem about it)

Is the statement...... "I got nothing" a paradox or oxymoron? Is the statement...... "I have nothing" a correct statement? To imply you "got" or "have" indicates ownership or possession of 'something'. If you 'got' nothing or if you 'have' nothing, contradicts the usage of "nothing". Our English language is strange...... yet fully understandable to those of us who speak it..... ..........Widder

I was taught: "The dog stood on the burning deck, a ring of fire was around his neck..... Hot Dog". I hated my English classes..... but I know the difference between There, They're, Their. And I kinda know the difference between TO, TOO and TWO. And I know a preposition is the worse word to end a sentence............ with. (I had to do it). ..........Widder

Since I was a kid (back in the 50's and 60's), Thunder Road and Robert Mitchum was always one of my favorite movies/songs. WHY? Because I lived in Knoxville, right close to Kingston Pike, where the REAL character is 'rumored' to have died while running from them revenuers. The story is told of a real person, BUT..... I'm not sure any actual death happed from a crash on Kingston Pike. But those of us who lived close to there thought it must have because it was in the movies... NOPE, I don't actually remember when/or if it happened, but I did live close to that spot, ....."Right outside of Knoxville". ..........Widder

Mad Major, In my 20+ years as a SASS member and Cowboy shooter, the 158 grain bullets are probably the least favorites for our normal match setups. As mentioned in a previous post, the 105 and 125 grainers are the most popular in the .38/.357 caliber. Your loads don't have to kill the steel....... just 'ring' it. Go to the match. Ask questions. And be prepared to shoot a little because you may be invited to shoot a stage or two. And if someone loans you their guns, feel free to use them....along with THEIR ammo. Most of us don't like 'unknown' ammo to be used in our firearms. ..........Widder

Needless to say, but you've probably spent more time and money on all the stuff to remove lead buildup on your revolver then you would have spent on a box of some really good jacketed hunting bullets, or even some gas checked, hard cast bullets for hunting. ..........Widder

Some the the hardest work will be when somebody else tried to 'smith' a gun and failed. Then YOU get that 'reworked' gun to fix. Its one thing to fix a factory 'gremlin'. Its a totally other ballgame to fix an 'owner induced' gremlin. ..........Widder

No doubt, he will be missed. Writers such as he kept my interest in the monthly gun magazines. Enjoyed his articles. Condolences to his family and close friends. ..........Widder

I would do THIS ^^^. first. ..........Widder

Yes, indeed. And the SS is from the factory design. And those .32 H&R mag rifles are rare as a hen's tooth. Rumor has it that only about 600 were ever produced. Once set up right, smoothed, etc........ it can be one of the finest rifles to own and super fun for CAS. ..........Widder

I also consider OG an outstanding feller and great to do business with. Here's wishing a complete and quick healing to his Bunkhouse Boss. God Bless. ..........Widder

Does anyone know much about the CVA Scout barrel availability, AND..... what are some of those calibers. I'd also like to know about where I might find those barrels. Thanks ..........Widder

Hey Slick..... remember me? Your BEST friend up here in TN..... 'Uncle Widder'..... I might have to get me a pair of these in .45 Colt. And I don't even shoot .45's............... but I could learn. ..........Widder

I almost took a nap watching mine..... Gut C. had numerous good, fast runs, as did his brother, Skrap P. It was really fun shooting with them. ..........Widder

I became just another notch in their shotgun stock..... But I enjoyed every bit of it. ..........Widder

BEE YOU TEE FULL! ..........Widder

I don't know if anyone filmed it or not.......... but, I did blink once and almost missed the whole run. ..........Widder

Congratulations to TWO of the fastest and best 97 shooters these eyeballs have ever seen. At the TN STate side matches, Gut C Gunman and his younger brother, Skrap P., literally 'burned it down'. If I remember correctly, Gut C. kilt those 6 KD's in 3.79 seconds. Brother Skrap P. ran a beautiful 3.92 seconds. Both of these times are Phenomenal and I was tickled to witness it. These 2 fellers are part of Chicken George family from New Mexico. I also posse'd with them and their kindness, politeness and attitude made it an honor to shoot with them and get to know them for a few days. They are a beautiful family. Ain't sure they come any finer. ..........Widder

MAYBE. Allow me to qualify that, please. Sometimes, even a Marlin made carrier might need a little fitting or 'tweaking' to work well when substituting it with another Marlin made carrier. From what I have seen so far, the Ruger made carrier should work and fit in a JM Marlin made rifle, atleast in the 1894 models. I can't advise on the 336 or 1895 models. Ya gotta remember that even if the carrier 'fits', the timing could be questionable. ..........Widder

I hope SOMEBODY will post a picture of the Special Belt Buckle awarded to TN Williams. No doubt a classic and one of a kind. ..........Widder
