  1. I would go with No. 1.  No. 2 is not historically "correct" in that the mounting block appears to be a modern addition to make it look like a M1C Garand sniper.  If you have the time you could look at various auction sites for items or, as Hardpan mentioned above, join the Garand Collectors Club.  They have tons of info on the M1. 

  2. Andy,

    The term "riot gun" is normally associated with the 1897 Winchester or clone, although I notice that Cimarron calls the 1887 a "riot gun".  Stoking the magazine means loading it up to capacity.  1887 guns can be worked on to be smoothed out, however, having them altered to a "load two" capability is what many owners do when they use them for CAS, as most clubs don't allow stoking them up for CAS.  They can be loaded up for Wild Bunch, though.  One of the best gunsmiths for this type of conversion is Lassiter out of Ohio.

  3. Sad news, indeed.  I met her on my first trip to Bordertown and the few more I attended.  Sandy was always helpful and was part of what put Bordertown on the map.  Condolences to the family.

  4. Famous group who took SAS into and out of the desert.  BTW, if the truck is in motion, very difficult to hit anything, except through luck.  Good for laying down a field of fire.

  5. Good for you.  I can't remember last year's matches ( I missed the first one for this year ) much less the fourth.  Keep going.  Over the years I have made just about every mistake/brain fade there is.  Just when I think I'm good to go, I start all over again.  Enjoy the game.

  6. Superman doesn't bleed.  Gunn's explanation is adding social commentary to a character who never espoused any.  Another attempt at trying to hype a comic book character.  Won't bother with this movie.

  8. Extended family in  MO said they had hail damage on the vehicles, but no other damage.  We're getting another snowstorm Tuesday/Wednesday, but most of it will be in the southern part of the state.
