[Colt SAA nickel polishing?]

There's a thread on the Colt Forum entitled "cloudiness on a nickel Colt".  Several answers to the question.

That 40 mm Bofors uses a four round clip? Then why was the guy in the picture loading a six?

Metric system.  😁

[Ides of March storms]

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.

[Ides of March storms]

The high was 74 yesterday.  Today it's 29 and snowing on and off.  Windy.

[32-40 piece of brass or a dummy cartidge]

I have some.  Are you going tonight to S & B?

 

[I wonder, at times, why people fall for this]

You mean people are lying on the internet?  Who woulda thunk!

[Firing pin bushing repair?]

I had one come loose on a USFA, but it wasn't lost.  A smith reset it.  If you look at the Midwest Gun Works web site they have Uberti bushings.  Best to be set by a smith.

[A 9mm Autoloader Question for Those in the Know]

I have a 1911 Kimber in 9mm.  Nice shooting pistol.  Also have a Sig 320, but I don't like the straight trigger.  On reflection a 226 would have been better.

Take a look at Ruger Wranglers.  Birdshead grip, which might be better for small hands.  Arnzen Arms in Eden Prairie shows them for $230 each.   Did you go to the shoots at Stock and Barrel?   I couldn't get there this year, but I'll try for the 13th.

Nice.  See you guys soon.

[The Berlin Airlift]

Landing at Templehof was an experience.

[The Alamo]

I can't get the link to the story copied but, ABC News reported today the the source of the limestone used to construct the blocks used in the building of the Alamo has been discovered.  New blocks will be fashioned and used in the reconstruction of the Alamo. 

[Winchester 1886 value (Miroku)]

A lot more information is required before an estimate can be provided.  Rifle, carbine? Tang safety?  Age, condition.  Photos are useful.  Original Winchesters can go from $2,000 and up.  Mirokus would be somewhat less, generally.

[So .... are your .... ?]

They don't come down here until near Easter.  🥶

[EOT 2025 From My Saddle]

Good morning, Yul.   Looking forward to your view of the festivities.  Thanks.

Thanks for the pics.  Looks like fun.

[Wts at eot]

Have fun out there. 

[Short stroke kit ?]

Look up Pioneer Gun Works who have videos on installing short stroke kits. 

[What is your Favorite Rifle to shoot in Cowboy Action Shooting ?]

Uberti and Winchester 73s in 44 WCF.

[1930’s Colt Super 38]

All it said was Super 38, 1968

'68 or '38?

 

[1930’s Colt Super 38]

That pistol is going to need some work from what I can see.  Have you checked the serial number on the Colt database?  It might give you some detail, although a Colt letter would be better.  As it looks now, a Tisas might be an even trade. 

[Who made your holster rig and where you carry shotshells?]

My early rigs were from El Paso Saddlery and Bob Mernickle.  Still have them and use them on occasion.  The go to rigs are from a long time friend and leather maker Zach Taylor.  Those are hand stitched and work well.  Shotgun belt from Zach, also.

[My New Long Range Lever Rifle]

Nice.  It looks like the stock may need replacement.  I saw an 1876 in 40-82 at the Holland & Holland gun room in NYC years ago.  It came out of India.  First one I had ever seen.  I assume you're going to use black.  Good luck.
