Tracker Jack Daniels,58780

Thanks for the replies Frontier Lone Rider and Jabez Cowboy. It is good to have input from someone who actually uses one to shoot Cowboy Action with.

Is the Winchester model 24 sxs a good choice? What if anything should I look for when checking one over? I am looking to shoot frontier cartridge with it so would like something reliable.

BTT for a pard

Chief Rick, I take it down before every major match, 4 to 5 times a year. I find it is much easier to do a deep clean and lube that way. I like to make sure all the black powder fouling is gone everywhere in the innards.

I have a '92 made by Chiappa that I bought from Nate Kiowa Jones. Haves put 2000 to 3000 rounds per year through it every year for the past 10 years and it is just as tight and accurate as the day I bought it. It is in 357 and has put many deer on the ground at 75 plus yards, great little rifle.

Five second penalty for hitting a rifle target with the revolver. Then a "P" for incorrectly engaging the rifle targets. Total of 15 seconds penalty time. There was no miss with the rifle, shooter engaged the dump target 10 times instead of the 9 times called for by the stage instructions. Pale Wolf beat me to the answer. He sure is quick this morning.

Yellowhouse, that is what I had always thought. But she said that she does not want a shiny finnish on her rifle. So she did some research and came up with linseed oil. I am not about to argue with her. I am just elated that she wants to start shooting with me. Already got her an '87 shotgun, going to order a set of SASS Vaqueros, and had her old beat-up B92 sent out to be hard chromed. Before that I had Huckleberry do an action job on it, now it runs as smooth as oil on glass. Next I am going to find a Chiappa "87 and have Lassiter work it over, and have it hard chromed. Then the CIA

Thanks OLG, I am in the process of refinishing the stock and forearm of a B92 for my wife. I had intended to use tongue oil, however she brought home linseed oil. She says she read that Winchester used that to finish the stocks on their long guns. I have never worked with linseed oil and was at a small loss as how to proceed.

Outlaw Gambler usually has them on hand ready to go. Classic Old West Arms, is on the internet.

Thanks J Bar, that was just what I was looking for. Now I can make the wife a happy lady!

The front barrel band is in front of the front sight and has a screw, that one makes sense. The rear barrel band is about in the middle of the forearm and it does not have a screw, looks like maybe a pin? How does that come off?

Looking for some advise, before trying to take it apart. I recently had a B92 carbine hard chromed for my wife to use next year when she joins us on the firing line. We just got the gun back from Outlaw Gambler and it is gorgeous, except for the scratched up stock and forearm. My wife would like me to strip off the old finish and redo the stock and forearm with a flat tounge oil finish. I know how the stock comes off, but have no experience with removing the forearm, so I am hoping someone here can give me guidance.

The dues structure is not the entire reason for members leaving SASS and just shooting monthly matches as unaffiliated shooters. In the past several years the Wild Bunch has been seen by many as trying to push shooters away. I know many shooters who no longer maintain their SASS membership, and will list their reasons. 1. Saying that match directors and people who set up and organize matches are cheaters if they shoot that same match. This comment and attitude resulted in the loss of many good workers and shooters. Some still shoot, but don't pay membership anymore. I tried to discus

I do not encourage the use of non-SASS legal guns or equipment. It can lead to problems for shooters when they travel to a big match. Was at a Regional match once, lady shooter had a '93-'07 shotgun. Posse marshal told her she could not use that shotgun. She got upset, saying "I use it at home all the time, for three years now, why not here"? We showed here the rules, and she calmed down when I gave her my backup '97 to use. In my opinion we do a severe disservice to shooters when we let hem get by with something that is not allowed at the State or above level matches.
