She was admitted to a NYC hospital some years ago and the doctors and nurses were in awe of her. Very interesting woman. The only character flaw in her was that she was, at one time, in a relationship with John Ford.

Good luck, Joe. Like was said in the movie: "If it pleases you, it tickles me plumb to death.."

now the plus side. In a couple of years you can likely get all your money back out of your guns. Your boat, motorcycle, RV etc will be worth 1/2 what you paid.
and, in CAS you will meet the finest folks you’ve ever been around!You're right, Hoss except for the guns. Most sellers want top dollar and most buyers want cost plus the current rate even if the guns are 20 years old.

To be clear I am glad SASS is taking steps to make the wire more secure. I am an addict and even look at the wire during commercials on the TV. If this makes logon more difficult this may help break me from my affliction.
Why not exit the site without logging out i.e. it's always logged in?

Where do you store the gun cart?

I have used HP 38 in 45 Colt loads, but don't recall any un burned powder in the pistols or cases. A good source of information is Hodgdon. They can be reached by phone and are usually pretty helpful.

Some of the folks who have more experience than I will chime in later, but I would start with checking the rifle. Is the tab at the end of the loading gate damaged? That is what keeps the rounds in the magazine from entering the action when the carrier is in the uppermost position. If the parts appear to be in order, I would check the ammunition. Are all rounds the same length? Since they are factory rounds I would expect they are, but some may be too long. Can you get hold of some other ammo to check? In the end, the best way to go would be to take it back to the seller, who may have some experience with '73s. Sorry I can't be of more help, but the solution this type of problem can be through trial and error.

I'm not sure I'm understanding what is happening. Are you saying that the cartridge won't feed from the carrier into the chamber as the bolt goes forward? When everything works properly the round ( 45 or 44?) is pushed forward by the bolt as the carrier drops. If the round is hitting the top of the barrel the carrier is coming up too much and the round is not aligning with the entrance to the chamber. Is that what is happening? When the rifle is in battery, is the bottom of the carrier flush with the frame?

You might try Cowboy Carty at Western Gun Works. He has done some short strokes for the Mirokus and may have a line on parts, although he may alter the original parts as, I think, there are no short stroke kits available.

Autos are pointed south aren't they? So, 101 from Santa Barbara to Ventura.

Good movie. Supposedly the inspiration for the TV show Wagon Train.

Happy Birthday!

Looks like the counter snipers are using rifles chambered in rounds larger than .223s, possibly .308 or larger, judging from the size of the magazines. Stephen Hunter posted something on Facebook yesterday that said the shooter was using too light a bullet, which was deflected a bit due to wind, while the Secret service counter snipers used a heavier bullet that wasn't.

The Minnesota State Championship is in the books. Ten stages shot over two days at the Kimball Rod & Gun Club. Rain, thunder and lightning on Saturday slowed things down a bit, but the scheduled scenarios were completed. Sunday dawned sunny, dry and a bit humid but the stages were done promptly. Kudos to Gunslinger Grace for running a well organized match. Scenarios were well thought out with no foot faults or "p" traps. Thanks to all who worked on the match.

Probably the first two will end up on streaming. Some of the critics mentioned that the films should have been released to cable networks. I don't know if Costner will be able to finance parts 3 and 4, but if he can they'll probably go straight to streaming.

"I understand what you’re saying if someone is injured or killed but the fact remains that actors point guns at each other all the time."As far as shooting is concerned, no, they don"t A good example of this is the gunfight at the end of" Geronimo: an American Legend" All the scenes of individuals shooting were shown in close up without the target/person shot at shown or, the rounds were fired into a plexiglass sheet between two combatants. Many scenes showing firearms being fired are filmed from a "forced perspective" with the camera placed at an angle behind the person the shooting at a target/person but the muzzle of the weapon is pointed away from the target giving the perspective that the muzzle is on target.

Baldwin is guilty because he was the person in charge at the shooting location. As such he is liable for many of the things that happened that led up to the death of a person. He violated a lot of industry safety procedures to save money. This makes him culpable.
Baldwin's lawyers are trying to make this about him holding the gun when it discharged. They are doing this because this is something he can beat in court.
What Baldwin cannot beat is the negligence that occurred because he, as the person in charge, failed to follow several well established industry safety practices.
Judge threw out the producer issue.

Peacemaker Specialists. My understanding is that they are still running the business since Eddie passed on. Someone may have recent contact info.
Same contact details as in the past.

Good to know, thx! Where did you source the grips you used?
They came with the grip frames. Actually got them a little bit cheaper than list since the wood was marred, but not that it could be noticed. The parts were purchased while VTI was still in CT and before it was sold to the present owner. The frames on mine were brass as they didn't have any of the steel frames at the time. Subsequently sold them to another pard and they fit his Ubertis as well.
