Ivery Keys #11974

BTT for the weekend...

Sad news just reached us at the ranch, Travelin Jones, A.K.A. Tim Bartlett has ridden off into the eternal sunset. He was a local shooter in the central Texas area, belonging to several clubs and participating in many different shooting sports, especially pistol and three gun. He will be greatly missed. If anyone is interested I will post arrangements when details become available. Vaya con Dios, amigo Ivery Keys, Dailey Late, Johnny McBang, Wild Jasmine, Three Lefts, the Nephew, and Captain Justin Case

And of all things, I like Pyrodex, been shooting it for three or four decades, I was not aware it is frowned upon... Regards, Ivery

And do not forget that some people have a temper that flares, then when they cool down come back to being regular civilized folks. Remember Captain Call whipping the scout. Let it go, unless the other person brings it up. As said before, water under the bridge. Regards, Ivery

Thanks, everyone, looks like the recommendations are unanimous. As always, I appreciate your insights.

Over the years I have had several nipple wrenches, mostly from starter kits or came with used revolvers. Nearly all have deformed with use. Any recommendations for a replacement wrench for standard revolvers? I have my ROAs covered because of the way their nipples are made. I need something for the copies which will not break or ruin Thanks, Ivery

As a child my great ambition was to play piano in a lounge/bar. My ambitions matured, but my attraction to a good old smelly bar remain, so the pianist/gun fighter Ivery Keys was born. Always enjoy reading how we pick our aliases... Regards, Ivery

Very interesting, and BTT...

Well, now that half of it is viewed, looks like a half and half mix of history and fiction. Wonder where this masterpiece was filmed? Still beats most of what is on. Before cable I wondered what it would be like to have a hundred channels. Now that I know I still have trouble finding a good western to watch... Regards, Ivery

Actually, a better analogy may be cops auctioning off guns confiscated from criminals, then using the money from the auctions for funding... Regards, Ivery

It is with sad hearts that we report that at 87 years young Granddad McBang (John Crane Sr.) has moved on to the great range in the sky. His death was totally unexpected as he had just driven himself to lunch earlier in the day when he was discovered unconscious in his truck. He was taken to the hospital with low oxygen in his blood, where apparently he suffered a major heart attack which left him unable to be revived even though he was in the hospital at the time. He enjoyed his years as a shooter from 1996 with the Texican Rangers through 2006 with the Tejas Caballeros and still enjoyed watching or picking up brass. Daily Late, Johnny McBang, Wild Jasmine, and I will all miss him dearly. The fellowship of the band has been broken... Regards, Ivery Keys

Got a derringer water gun I used to carry in those suspenders, don't know how many times I had to show clear, even though it was obviously plastic...

I have one of the RWS guns in .22 and love it. Can ring the 100 yard target every time with it... Regards, Ivery

Might want to put your legal papers in there as well, titles, wills, things like that... Regards, Ivery

Since I have a range at my house many people want to shoot my cowboy guns. I normally shoot a Marlin in competition, but have two '73s that I shoot silhouette with and will not short stroke because I want people to have an authentic feel for them. Of course, I also shoot mostly BP under those circumstances... Regards, Ivery
