Good to learn you're still around and doing well. Don't be a stranger.

I located your comments regarding TACNATION moments after I requested a Return Authorization Number. The 9mm/.40 assembly failed miserably when attempting to use with my Browning Hi Power, Springfield Armory XD, and Beretta FDS 9mm handguns. I feed a single round into the loader by hand studied the alignment vis-a-vis the magazines. This is not going to work. I cannot find either a phone number for customer service or a mailing. I expect I will have to file a "fraud" chargeback with my credit card provider If TACNATION does not cooperate.
Don't wait. Call your credit card provider and request a charge back. Make it TACNATION's problem.

I watched it on Netflix and it's one that requires attention. It's a good example of several, possibly intertwined story lines. A good cast, although Costner is, in my opinion, the weakest character. I didn't care for the final few minutes highlighting what appears to be scenes from the second part. Overall though, it's pretty interesting.

The dates haven't been set yet, but the Midwest Regional Match, Gunsmoke, held at the Cedar Valley Vigilantes Club in Morristown, MN is usually at the end of September. Always a good match.

Plenty of good gunsmiths who can tune up a Uberti. If you're in Ohio, then try contacting Lassiter (Tom Wildenauer) in New Lebanon: Tom's Single Action Shop, New Lebanon OH- 937-687-1039. Tom doesn't do much on the web; best to call him, usually in the afternoon.
If you're handy, there are spring kits available for Ubertis from Pioneer Gun Works (pioneergunworks.com) and Shotgun Boogie Gun Works (sbgwllc.com) among others. Good luck.

Uno reminded me of a couple of outstanding concerts we attended. Unfortunately, we saw both of these artists shortly before they passed.
Ray Charles at the Hollywood bowl. Absolutely wonderful show.
B.B. King at the Pacific Ampitheater. His connection with the audience was unbelievable.
I saw Ray in West Berlin in 1970. Still remember it.

Guns International has a couple of used Alfonso rigs for sale under Gun Parts and Accessories/ Holsters and Belts. They are in the $400-500 range and, although used, they are in better shape than the one you show. Even if the rig was revitalized, I doubt that it would be worth doing in terms of return.

This is one version of the B&T pistol. As it's a Class III firearm, tracing ownership may be easier.
-
The latest theory by some "experts" is that the firearm is possibly a B &T VP9 pistol with an integral "silencer", an update of the Welrod design used in WW II.

My recommendation...truly KNOW the person that you're getting info. from.
I know that this is the SASS forum, but you'd be surprised at how much bad info. can be found here.
Phantom
Phantom makes a good point. A friend who is knowledgeable about CAS firearms and gear, and will give you unbiased information is a plus. You can find all sorts of advice about the game, but it's difficult to discern between good, not so good and bad advice if you're just starting out. Good luck, be safe and have fun.

How bad is it on the action to let both barrels go at the same time?
Usually nothing if the gun is in good condition, of recent manufacture and not a regular occurrence. A friend found an old Stevens double in his attic when he moved in to his last house. He had it worked on/cleaned up by a retired Stevens smith. He fired it for a bit, and every so often both barrels would go off at the same time. He made it a wall hanger as he didn't want to spend any more money on fixing it.

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?

Had three cups already and spoke with seven folks in the neighborhood. Town guys stopped by to say they have to turn off the water for a bit to deal with a main leak: all this by 9:30 am. I need a nap.

My old boss was a scout sniper in WWII and Lou passed away several years ago. I saw his picture in an American Rifleman magazine a few years ago when they printed a letter and photo sent in by a reader regarding his dad's time on Okinawa. I knew it was Lou because the father and Lou were both listed as hailing from Northern NJ, which was Lou's long time family home. Lou went on to become a senior officer in a major NYC bank. We had an office in the 30 Rockefeller Center building. There were four of us in the office who were vets, and Lou was the only WWII vet. He was a hell of a guy.

I watched Last of the Mohicans (1920) silent on Amazon. Wallace Beery cast as Magua. Pretty interesting film. Selected for the National Film Registry in 1995. I don't know how to add it here.

"Slow motion" traffic, by people, horse drawn wagons and autos. Still crazy driving there, but a lot faster now.

Gene Autry took care of a lot of his expenses later in life.

Really good John Ford western. Good quality video. Big production.
At around 3:52 minutes notice the short barrel '73, and a better view at 24:25.

Sad to report that John Boy AKA: John Corney, passed away on October 10th. A long time CAS shooter, John was a font of information on black powder firearms, including manufacture of black powder cartridges. I had the pleasure of shooting with him at the Jackson Hole Gang and Monmouth Rangers clubs when I lived in NJ. RIP, pard.

Shoveling Snow S##KS!
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
So far this season we haven't had much snow. Latest one dropped less than 2 inches and shoveling it was not a problem. Anything more than 4 or 5 inches, the landscaper plows it out. I have many years of shoveling in NY and NJ, no more of that. My neighbor and his 8 yr old son help out clearing the walkway from the house. The boy loves to shovel the snow. Lucky to have good neighbors.
