Tex Jones, SASS 2263

Like Forty said, always something to learn.

'bout time!

So do the Peacemaker Centennials.

Grease. Olivia Newton John!

Qualified with the M 14 and fired familiarization with the 16 back in 1968. The 14 was an excellent rifle; I didn't care for the 16.

Short answer is yes. 'the sound of military helicopters, such as those used by SEAL teams, are suppressed.

Many hotels now use third party booking agents, even if you call the hotel directly. They will put you on hold while they transfer the call. They use them primarily to free up the front desk at the physical location.

All the best on the move. Sounds ideal. I still use the '73 rifle in 44-40 I bought back at EOT in 2018.

Can they be hunted, or is it not allowed?

Nice. I can see that a double gate is necessary, else you would have them on the porch. 🦘🦘

Just ordered some. With tax and hazmat they come to $74.75.

Like Warden said. I haven't trimmed mine for awhile. I set the crimp into the groove and as long as the overall length of the cartridge does not exceed maximum OAL it's good to go. Inserting the cartridge in a case checker is the last step to make sure the case will chamber.

Did they mention anything about other calibers?

Next thing you know, you'll start cleaning guns. 😄

Christie knows her stuff; she worked with the master. Jeff Ault, successor to Bob Munden did a pistol for me recently with good results. I have not used him, but Bill Fuchs at Spring Creek Armory has a good reputation. I don't think that you can go wrong with any of them. Good luck. Tex

Tyrel beat me to it. What type of bullets are you reloading? The coated bullets are less likely to lead the barrel and make the cleaning easier.

I imagine the muzzle blast could be distracting, especially in 45.

I don't know, Joe. In my army Majors don't talk to Colonels like that. More likely the writers had to give Holden's part some heft. Happy Easter!

So, June 1959, premiere at the Astor theater in mid town NY. I took the subway down to Time Square ( 8th Avenue A train ) to go to the opening. I arrived late and the film had just started, so I missed the show outside the theater. I don't remember who was there, but I expect that John Wayne had to be present, as I wouldn't have gone down there for any other reason. All that remained outside the theater was two rows of mounted cavalry troops facing each other creating a walkway for the special guests to enter. My first trip on the subway and the first of many more. After numerous viewings I came to the conclusion that Bill Holden's part was irritating.

Two Hundred Fifty years ago, the battles of Lexington and Concord and the "shot heard 'round the world". Yee Haw!

And here I thought it was just me. Local weather showed "windy" a few days ago to "breezy" now. I can't tell the difference.

In the episodes I have watched recently, the Schofield was never fired. When the character fired a handgun it was a single action. Good show, though.

Looks like a blast! Family, friends, good weather and gunsmoke. What's not to like?

Very nice. You might consider replacing the cylinder pins with more accurate versions. Still, good looking pistols.

The match is held at the Tombstone Stable and RV park. Go south on 80 and turn west (right) on rte 82 (just past the Border Patrol checkpoint-if it's still there). It's only a couple of miles on 80 south to Tombstone. Vendors for food and shopping will be there. The main tent is used for functions and is open all during the match, if you need a place to rest/eat. No firearms allowed for visitors, however, as AZ is open carry firearms are allowed in town, although not in saloons and posted businesses. Plenty of shopping in town so bring money. The vendors area is separated from the shooting berms by a fence from which you can observe the different posses in action. Make sure you have eye and ear protection. Great match and lots of fun. Miss going there.
