  1. No reputation and very few posts with a 99xxx number Thanks RT
  2. I sent you a response on the wire in an attempt to get things moving.  I'm serious about $300 if you don't get any other action.  RT

  3. FYI, Fall Roundup is next week, just in case you wanted to try it out.  We have about 90 shooters coming.  I'm bett'en you know most.  RT

  4. Hey Quick draw I also found a belt that matches the same color as the holsters. It is drilled for a cross draw but a double strong can cover the holes.  It's also a Mernicale  marked 44 length.  $50 then you'll have a whole rig.

  5. Slim, it will work on a 66 or 73, any caliber. The spring and follower are ss and the end cap is an easy open with an Allen wrench.

  6. John, If he doesn't buy, I'm interested. Is it Satin Or Blued.  Thanks  RT

  7. Scissors, Pics sent. Also, I need to know the prefix on your guns. I have barrels for NMV and OMV. Want to be sure you get the correct barrels.  OMV have 2 numbers and NNV have 3    Thanks  RT

  8. Hey Randy. Rootin Tootin here. I saw your post about a lever lock to help prevent jacking a live round. I'm planning on getting one but want to know with it installed how do you show clear at the unloading table with the lock installed without pulling the trigger? The only way I can see to do it is to pull the trigger and gradually lower the hammer and cycle it then. 

    Thanks.  RT

      Hope so too, it is a little harder to put the rifle back together but not bad. I install the right links, right side plate then roll it over and drop in the lever lock and left side links. I have a short punch approximately the same diameter at the side plate screw  I stick through the hole in the right side plate and through the lever lock. Then I install the left side plate and push the punch through the hole, now I can put the screw on the end of the punch and push the punch back out to help me keep the screw aligned.  I hope that made sense? It is actually pretty easy once I got used to it.

      If it doesn't make sense I can make a video and send it.

  9. Scarlett, I bought some Clean Shot from you in TN 2 years ago. Do you still have some in inventory. I'd like to buy 10 or 15 lbs.  Good stuff...  Thanks   Rootin Tootin  21707

  10. Do I need a 44 special pistol or can they be shot safely with a 44 magnum.. I picked up a 73 in 44 special and might want to do Classic Cowboy but don't have pistols yet.

      You can shoot 44 specials all day long in 44 mag , RT.   Like I said it's the same as shooting 38 spec in 357 mag.  just the shorter cousin       Enjoy   and hope to see you and Charlie at Gunsmoke.   If you need anything else, just holler    GW

  11. Bailey, Barlands and I bought some and cronographed against Clay Dot. Almost identical results.  Very fine powder and appears to burn cleaner than Clay Dot. Just started to use it, but so far happy with results.  We just finished loading up 1000 rounds to shoot over the next month or so indoors at the club.  So far so good.  Check back around Feb.

    How you doin with that knockoff 38 parts gun...……..RT

  12. Who made the hat???  Thanks  RT

  13. Larsen, I've been reading about the expansion of classes into sub categories, provided the numbers exist.  Will you be offering Elderstatesman Duelist or Silver Senior Duelist at WR?. How many will you need if either is offered?  I am Currently signed up  for WR as a Senior Duelist, because at the time there was nothing more offered, but at age 71 could qualify for either Elderstatesman Duelist or Silver Senior Duelist, if offered.......and would be willing to make the switch...

     

    Your thoughts please.  Thank you  Rootin Tootin 21707

  14. I'm thinking of making a 7 1/2 Ruger Vaquero. I have a barrel from a new model Blackhawk that will fit an Old Model Vaquero but want a blade front site since it needs to be a Vaquero with a 7 1/2 barrel to be legal for SASS.

    Duece shoots 7 inchers that he built and thought I'd try and build one to see if there is any benefit over my 5 1/2's 

    That's  why the question. 

     

    Regards......RT

  16. Thanks to all. I think I have it now. Widder, easier to get the correct OAL than for me to TIG weld...Thanks for info. Looks like 1.50 is going to work. I'll get some built next week and try them.. I'll be back if they jam......THANKS AGAIN RT
  17. Thanks Widder.........Now I know why my 1.43's jam. TOO SHORT
  18. I have a stock 1894 Cowboy Limited in 357/38. I use a 130 grain bullet TCFT. In your experience what is the best OAL to minimize jamming when levering fast in our game......... I once owned a Carty Marlin but it was limited to 38's with a OAL of 1.42.........What is the best for a stock gun???? Thanks RT

    On the underside of the bolt there are numbers scratched in with a letter T at the end. Any idea who the smith was and what he might have done to it. Last three of serial number is 297 Bolt picture is the last of the 8 pics Thanks RT http://s1265.photobucket.com/user/prlucky299/slideshow/
  20. How does their SS compare to the ones from PGW or C&I on super short stroke? All my past rifles have been reworked by PGW or C&I for SS and I have added the other stuff myself......
  21. Their add talks about a short stroke and action job with a big front site. Any idea who's short stroke they use and what gen? How are they out of the box? Advertised as match ready?? Any experience appreciated.........Thanks RT
  22. Trying to relate to the people I'm related to
