Which one of you Idaho cowboys is this?
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 replied to Three Foot Johnson's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
There's a photo on the New York Post website. No ID mentioned although the investigation is in progress. -
Those are for pistols. CC wants a rifle spring.

Daylight savings time permanent?
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 replied to Capt. James H. Callahan's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Just change it by half an hour, then everyone will be upset. 😝 -
Hazy here in MN this morning. Wild fires in the north of the state and resulting smoke moving south. Unhealthy air until tomorrow.

Good news! The rain dance paid off. 😄

RIP Johnny Gage, aka Randolph Mantooth.

I watch Emergency most days. Sad to learn of this. -
That was a close one. Happy it worked out.

Fancy!

"We deal in lead, friend." "You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?" "Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy!"

From the photo it looks to have an extended base pin, which when pushed in prevents the firing pin from impacting the cartridge primer. Folks have replaced that pin with a normal length one.

Do you experience a lot of outages?

If anyone needs a new rifle ...

It should be in the Smithsonian. -
We went from below average temperatures (upper 50s-low 60s) to above average temperatures (80s-90) overnight. Sunny and low humidity, but we skipped the middle temps altogether.

Not very fast if that's important to you. The action was designed for rifle cartridges. I used a Trapper model when I first started CAS, but switched pretty quickly. I used the rifle version in 45 Colt at one Tombstone match, but while it worked, after 4 stages the action got a little stiff due to blowback.

Sorry for your loss, Forty. She's in a better place. -
Are these business a SCAM?

Title insurance is included in any real estate transaction in some states. -
Marshals tv show (Yellowstone)
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 replied to sassnetguy50's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Marshals as well as NCIS, FBI , Sheriff Country, Fire Country and Tracker are fantasy. Any similarity to reality is purely coincidental. BTW, has anyone noticed that Tracker is Have Gun Will Travel updated? -
Too bad. You're going to have to take it apart. Broken trigger/bolt spring.

Happy Birthday, Rye!

Just finished watching High Noon again
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 replied to Forty Rod SASS 3935's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
John Wayne hated that picture. He said that it would never had happened in the real west. The film was supposed to be a metaphor for the McCarthy hearings, where one man was standing up for what's right in spite of attacks against him. Interestingly Grace Kelly's character, a Quaker, resorts to violence in the end. Favorite film of Bill Clinton. -
Goodbye, Lucy. You were a great little dog!

Sorry to read this. Losing them always hurts. -
Colt grips Gen3 where to buy?
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 replied to Thunder Creek Kid's topic in SASS Wire
Also, Peacemaker Specialists has some. Any set you get will need fitting. -
The military conducted tests comparing the lever action rifles of the day, primarily '66s and '73s to the Springfield Trapdoors. As far as accuracy and penetration over distances the Trapdoor were superior. Of course the lever actions were able to provide a higher rate of fire, at least initially, but were no easier to reload than the Trapdoors once they were emptied. I have a book covering the tests and types of firearms taken from Indians that goes into detail on the subject.

Alpo Question - Anyone Watch the Show Tracker?
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 replied to Texas Maverick's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
If he's a retired law enforcement officer he can carry nationwide under the LEOSA act. Having said that I had the same question from the beginning of the show. But as C.J. said it's TV fiction.
