Rance - SASS # 54090

Bond!! I think you can buy different caliber barrels and they switch with same Main frame..… Just sayin’

I do the same as Garrison Joe.. Put ‘em in my vibrator fer about a half hour.. Just sayin’..

I started with a straight stock.. I found to sight it in I had to place my jaw/chin area on the stock .. on the Deluxe model I found I could plant my cheek like I had for years with long guns.. if that something that matters to ya.. check that out.. Myself I’d go with the Deluxe .. just sayin’..

What Garrison Joe said right off the bat… Strengthen the lever spring.. Mine started doing this after I shortened mine.. I put a washer or two to lengthen it back out and WALLA!! Fixed it.. Just sayin’..

My better half, Lacey Corsette, and I both started out with ‘66 yellowboys in 38 specials.. shot them fer quite a few years.. a friend of ours named “Spur” Put 3rd. Generation short strokes in them.. Spur’s better half Uh Oh.. told Lacey she needed a smaller lighter rifle than the Yellowboy.. so for Christmas I got her “Spur” shortstroked Marlin that he specialized in.. 38 special again… I stayed with the yellowboys then Lacey said she needed a backup for her Spur Marlin.. so I got her another one for backup.. I then thought .. heck.. I should get a new different rifle.. So I got a couple of short barreled. ‘73’s.. 357’s but I shoot 38’s in them.. had them built with Pioneer gunworks Supershort strokes.. Lacey quit shooting a couple years back so her 2 “Spur Marlins” just sit in the gun cabinet.. I’m still shooting the ‘73’s but I haven’t bettered my times over when I shot the 66’s .. of course age has kinda caught me now.. Reckon that’s my story and I’m stick in’ to it..

I use dummy rounds with lead in them to my correct overall length... other wise you can’t dry fire 10 rounds through yer rifle.. 10 Pistol rounds I don’t think it matters.. 4 shotgun dummy rounds.. Just my thinkin’

My first set holsters and shotshell belt was all Kirkpatrick leather.. Probably used them for a good 10 years.. My second set of holsters and holster belt was custom made by Murphys Gun Leather.. He makes them for how the customer needs them.. I didn’t put any shell loops on it as I found they just make yer belt heavier if ya fill them up.. Still (for 22 years now) using the same Kirkpatrick shotshell belt.. probably has 16 places for shells in double leather loops.. and 5 loops on each side for pistol and rifle reloads.. Just sayin..

All I use is Trail Boss too.. Load on a Dillon 550.. 3.0 in pistols.. 3.6 in rifle.. Never a problem.. Like Marauder said.. might try a vibration mode of some sort… Just sayin’😳

Beautiful work 👍🏻

I use a half and half mixture of corncob and walnut media.. Don’t use polish much.. Throw in a used dryer and let it run fer about 3-4 hours..

Thanks Kit.. I also found I can just type their Alias in the little envelope window thingy after you click on it.. Kinda does an auto fill (elimination) as you type in alias.. Thanks, Rance

Got it!! Thanks.. My email notifications are shut off but I got the little icon in the top right hand corner.. By the way ... In searching for members.. I found out in messaging that when you click on the little envelope to private message.. A blank window shows up to receive the message.. As you type in their alias.. It goes through (alphabetically) all the members eliminating them as you type their alias.. NEAT!! Rance Thinkin Thanks!!
