They are either the original Ruger Vaquero or the Ruger New Vaquero. All of them are New Model Vaqueros. None of them are Old Model Vaqueros. No such thing.

Or...You can sleeve it for a 40 or 41 caliber (405 Winchester) and keep it black powder only. I've got an 1895 in 405 Winchester and it's bullet is .410 diameter. And holds 65 grains of Black. When people ask me what chamber my rifle is, I tell them it's a 41-65.

That's a really really good price on the Red Dot.

Another vote for 4227

Up here we have a few clubs that at times allow a Wild Bunch Military category. (1911, Model 12 shotgun, Tommy Gun) We also have one club that once or twice a year sets up a course for "Cowboys and Aliens." Lots and lots of targets from up close to 100 yards. Any and all guns you want to bring are good to go. From Cowboy guns to AR's to M1's to???... No times, No misses or hits called. Just follow the course correctly. Blast as much ammo as you can afford and have fun.

An already checkered forearm for $50 is money way ahead. You aren't going to find anyone for less than that.

I used to cast 45 round balls. They were right around 120 grains. I cut down split necked (not to far) 45 Colt brass to 45 auto rim length. With a mid level volume equivalent loading of 45acp powder recipe, the round ball just burps out the barrel. I did have to experiment to get a load hot enough to raise accuracy.

Grips look to be Elk...

Third Saturday weekend in the month of September. So 13th thru the 16th.

I'd call Lassiter. He is THE Lightning Man!!!

I use standard molds (non-tumble lube) and depending on the mold, may or may not need to size. That said, I tumble lube EVERYTHING. Way, way less leading and powder fouling that way. Even if you do decide to use a lubri-sizer, tumble lubing ahead of time makes everything run easier and takes less effort.

The steel Saeco mold will be lighter than RCBS or Lyman and will last you a lifetime with proper care.

I asked Lefty a couple of years ago that question, and he said that he doesn't slip hammer. I asked Deuce and he doesn't. Asked Matt Black and he does...

Only took 125 years for someone to challenge the John Browning design...

Lord High Mudd Master, Just load them like your ACP's and you won't have to change your powder drop. Just the shell plate. Don't make me have to adjust your press again!!!

Where is My Name is Nobody, Johnson County War or even Cimarron?

Or...You can just get another set of standard grips and remove the bottom 1/4" with a sander or sanding block to make fit.

In the movie "On the Edge" he's the hero. He plays an aging runner that enters a competition run by one of his former colleges turned advisory.

We have one club up here that offers a "double deuce" category. Usually the only one shooting it is the person who started the category. The only plus really, is not having to root for the brass. My opinion is to offer it as an option, but as an un-scored category.

I run a full buckhorn on all my rifles. The human eye/brain combo will inherently find the center of the "circle". Flat blade sights drive me crazy with alignment. The buckhorn is very natural.

PaleWolf and Driftwood, If we can't get the cowboys to refer to the Original Vaquero correctly, (It's NOT an Old Model Vaquero) how do you expect them to get magazine vs clip, cylinder vs chamber, cartridge vs bullet, etc correct???

Very slightly off topic. Why does a spent case left on the carrier and a live round on the carrier, bear the same penalty? One's potential is pretty much nil and the other catastrophic!
