Congratulations to Misfire Maggie & Montana Max, Maryland State Champions and Thunder Valley Days Overall Top Guns! Thanks to Dogmeat Dad and the Damascus Rangers for a great match and congrats to all the category champs and winners. MTC

Tula TOZ-66's are built like a brick wall and usually reasonably priced, I have collected 3 of them with 20"bbls. The springs must be from a B-60 Mack from the factory, but a good 'smith can fix'em right up. There was a 28" for sale in the classifieds, don't know if it's still available...

+1 to this. Been shooting 3/4 oz w/Clays and they work great.

2000 Road King I bought in '01, 60K on it. Been doing annual rides with F&F since 2015 when we went "empty nest". This year going back to Maggie Valley, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.

Hodgdons has data for 44 SP for 165 - 240 gr bullets. Tried TB, "didn't fit my pistols" Good Luck, MTC http://www.hodgdonreloading.com

I took the crescent butt plate off and shaped a piece of wood to fill in the crescent, then put a butt cover on. I don't know if these are what you're looking for https://www.buffaloarms.com/competition-butt-tamer-gabt http://www.kick-killer-recoil-pads.com/kick-killer-slip-on-recoil-pad-with-lace-up-closure/ Good Luck, MTC

Apps are in the pony and a room @ the EconoLodge in Williamsport. See ya soon! MTC

I reminded my compadre of a MDS campfire conversation, so we may get our apps in the mail before the weekend Ms. Barb MTC

Thanks JB. I forwarded the link to Montana Max. He said he found what he needed last evening, but he may want some spares. MTC

Usually hang mine on my gun cart IB.

Thanks Shootin Fox. MM has the problem has been taken care of. MTC

Montana Max is in need of an Old Model Blackhawk hammer to repair one of his main match guns. If anyone has one they would like sell please let me know. In the mean time we'll research getting his repaired. Thanks, MTC

I'd bet those marks on the backstrap are from the buffers arbor

At first glance I thought that they had pits in the frame castings, but after magnification it appears to be buffing compound. The polishing job is definitely very poor. I would be sending Ruger an e-mail with pics conveying my disappointment. I would hope they will send a tag to do a better polish job with a quick turnaround and maybe a t-shirt for your inconvenience. MTC

Hard to tell left from right

You are way behind. Ya got to have back-ups to your back-ups, a set of loaners and back-ups to them just in case. You have to have the guns to shoot any category that that may strike your fancy. MTC

I am on Broomstick's wait list to have him convert a pair of 357 SASS Vaq's to 44 Spl. Patiently waiting my turn

I wish you luck J Bar, I've been trying to get hold of a pair for years MTC

Tell everyone I said howdy, maybe next year. Have a safe trip & great matches. MTC

Well since you're cleaning guns I'll bring mine right over. Mine haven't been touched since the DWR October match

Dang CC, I'm gonna have to do some figurin' about another trip to FL next March
