Thanks PWB.
Hope all is well. Hot as Hades here in the South.....and humid too. Little rain except in those areas that
have had flooding disasters.

#1. Stage instructions state to load on the left...unload on the right.
On the left are 2 tables, touching (or really close). One table is covered w/ a piece of carpet, the other is left bare.
Normally, that 'barren' table is used as an 'ULT' when there is a prior stage but in this instance, that stage was not being used....and neither was the table.
A shooter (3rd in line to load) lays their guns on the bare table and starts loading them. They were told that 'bare' table WAS NOT a designated loading
table and therefore could be assessed with a SDQ. WTC?
#2: Shooter loads guns (rifle and pistols) and leaves them at the LT 'unattended'. I don't know if it matters why the shooter left the loading table,
but the guns were loaded and unattended. WTC?
I know some clubs have certain rules concerning this, but is there a SASS rule that governs this?
Thanks
P.S. - NO, it didn't happen to me nor was I at a match where these occurred.

2 hours ago, Captain Bill Burt said:
I will do that! I have several 1911's, which I intend to keep, but the idea of a double stack 9 mm on the 1911 platform is intriguing.
I agree. I'm just not a 9mm person. My big bores consist of about 1/2 dozen .45's set up for SUPER, and I also have 3 that are
460 Rowland. Awesome firearms.
My center fire revolvers are .44 mag, 45 Colt (Hot loaded Ruger's), 460 S&W Mag, and 500 S&W Mag.
Of all these, I still enjoy shooting my .22 rifles and pistols.

Howdy Capt BB.
Ya might want to give Slater AND TN Williams a call on these.
As for me, I have a couple 1911's that have surprised me with reliability and accuracy. One of them is my latest... the Springfield Emissary.
And I'm able to compare it with some other good 1911's, like a 6" Kimber Hunter, Two new Savage 1911's (which I also like), and two BUL's.
So far, they've all be reliable but the Emissary seems to have the edge on accuracy.
Good luck.
P.S. - I'm thinking that ole TW has OR HAD a Staccato and wasn't crazy about it.

Thanks Lumpy. But reading your post, and other Wire Pards information over the years, has lead me to believe
that a few of Y'all already have a good knowledge of the Marlins.
Although he don't visit the Wire, I was glad that SLATER (Slater's In-House-Guns) was eager to learn about the Marlin and how to set them up
to be more competitive and reliable. We live in the same county here in E.TN and we're able to talk and visit a lot.....plus we Cowboy shoot
at the same clubs. He's young and hopefully will be around a while to help folks with gun issues and set up more 'Widdermatic's.

Bubba,
Thanks for the information.
As you probably already know, Jackrabbit Joe probably has a carrier already set right for good timing. When the carrier ramp
starts to wear, even just a few .000's, it creates SLOW timing, which causes that jamming problem.
Another good fix is sending it to Gunner Gatlin, as mentioned above.
I got just one more question and a test for you to do, which is an EASY test.
Question: Have you started using ammo that is a bit shorter than previous ammo?
TEST: Measure a few pieces of your current ammo, and then load up a few pieces that is a tad longer, maybe .010 or thereabouts.
I'm curious as to your results. My guess is that your timing is too slow for the OAL of your ammo and testing your ammo
loaded out a little longer might help.
BUT..... even if it helps your situation, you still should consider getting your timing ramp repaired correctly.

Bubba Bear,
Is there a particular issue with your current carrier?
If its an older style carrier, is there something wrong with the 'Pivoting' arm?
If its a new style carrier, is there a problem with the 'Plunger Stud' or the 'washer' that is suppose to hold it in place?
Is your Timing Ramp on the bottom of the carrier worn too much?
Has the 'Tongue' worn down or broken off, which will allow rounds to jump UNDER the carrier when trying to feed
another into the chamber.
There are things that can go bad on the Marlin carrier that can determine the right method of getting it fixed, assuming
something is wrong.

I met HC at the TN State, July 2024.
He was truly a nice and congenial guy. And it was my pleasure to spend some time
at the side matches with him. His shooting skills were remarkable.
I hate to hear of his passing and he will be missed.
Condolences to his family and close friends.

Wouldn't it be funny if some of these folks that have been missed were somehow put on
the 'Ignore' list by some Pards in the past and then forgotten about.....
And now, after a few years, some are wondering what really happened to them........when all along,
they've been right here with us.....

This thread is over 2 years old.
I'm wondering if Rough N Ready Rob was able to get his problem solved.

Walter & Leroy got ambushed by a couple Coyotes a few months back.
Walter quickly grabbed the phone and starting dialing for help.
Leroy said: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (who you calling?)
Walter said: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (I'm dialing 9-1-1 for the Police.)
Leroy said: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (Tell em some varmints are stealing the Donuts. They'll get here quicker)
When Walter hung up the phone, Leroy ask: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (well, what did the Police say)
Walter said: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (sorri, we don't respond to Quack callers)
Those 2 crazy ducks never cease to amaze me.

YIKES.
Well, now you fellers know why I DON'T bet on sporting games, especially football.
I was hoping the Falcons would take home the prize but just let it slip away.
Congrats to the Patriots and all their fans.
Its a 60 minute game..... and the Falcons showed up to only play 45.

Naw, that ain't it at all.
Actually, skunks don't smell at all!
The MSM just made that up to conceal the fact it was the smell of pollytishons!
Trust me. I read it on the internet.
I guess I owe all the skunks an apology......

In the end, they get boiled and the silk is pulled off the cocoon. It takes about 30,000 cocoons to make one silk jacket.
Why would a silkworm want to wear a silk jacket?

Pretty much.
Unless you're on vacation and then those Mondays and last hours of the weekend last about 10 minutes.

when a skunk gets run over and lies dead in the road, you only smell it after you drive by.
You never pick up the scent until you drive past the skunk.
BUT, when you drive back by it again from the other direction, you only smell it again after you drive by it.
WHY don't we ever smell the skunk on the 'approach', no matter the direction of the approach?

my new toy is a SIG P220 in 10mm. I think its called the 'Match Elite'.
Anyhow, I want to dress it up with either a good 'on top of the slide' reflex sight with maybe a Leupold Delta Point or attach a good rail attachment light/green laser gizmo like a Veridian unit.
Any experience with these?
The pistol will mainly be used for some close range Coyote's (day and night) and possibly some close range (under 40 yards) groundhogs.
p.s. - I leaning towards the Veridian rail attachment light/green laser gizmo.

When I worked for Civil Service, I had a terrific boss, who was actually Director, Civil Service.
But she also knew that I would make up a bunch of stuff to tell everyone, as though she said it. I think she thought it was kinda funny and added a little flavor to the office.
Anyhow, anytime I had to go to her office about anything, I would sometimes walk out of her office going backdown a hallway to my office and I would loudly tell everyone..... "Vicki says there won't be any pay raises until morale improves".

Wait till someone brags on how well your fried seafood tastes and you explain that Mountain Oysters do not come from the ocean.
now that is a classic.
And I can hear someone asking..... "where did you get the Mtn Oysters"?

Believe it or not, TW and I both agreed on these situations being a 'No Call'.
Actually, TW said something about the person wanting to give a SDQ needed their posterior beat.....or something to that effect.
I think that's Black Pin talk.....

Y'all have a good evening.
And PWB, if ya want to close this thread, feel free to do so at your discretion. Thanks!
