Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439

Yes, I used to read everything he posted about cap & ball, loved watching him search for items for his collection! Sorry to hear he’s gone!

And I would too, but down here in SE FL, the shops charge more and uneducated buyers pay those prices and the shop owners don’t negotiate. If I found one that did I would give them my business. The other factor is that I have various interests, US military, some antiques, and of course “cowboy” besides self defense and hunting. Our stores are mainly Glock/AR-15 suppliers, not into Glocks and have a Colt AR15 for my wife and me, and an Armalite AR10.

And that’s your choice, good for you! I have found that buying on the internet from dealers and sites like Gunbroker give me a lower price than the local dealers, as I go to get the transfers and check out their pricing. To each his own!

I do! I have bought more than a few firearms and other items. It would be a shame to lose them!

Don’t have my readers, might have missed it but I don’t see a caliber mentioned. And do you have two pairs for sale or did the post duplicate?

If you were shooting in an enclosed, indoor range with no ventilation PERHAPS, but outside, toxic lead exposure? Really? Naw I don’t believe it, and the research is probably done by the same scientists that believe cattle farting causes climate change. yes too much of anything can be harmful, but shooting 100-150 rounds through pistols/rifle over the span of a few hours, outdoors? C’mon! Nope don’t think so, not by my son’s experience either. If it was sooo bad all of us were be suffering from it as well.

I got one of those “Classmates” email yesterday and lo and behold there was a yearbook for Notre Dame High School from 1973, my senior year! And all of you are asking what this has to do with SASS? Well, my Senior year during the Christmas break, mini courses were offered on a lot of fun subjects, including one about firearms with Mr. Greg Duda, our Electronic/Physics teacher. He was the proud owner of a Ruger Blackhawk in .357, with the greatest western rig I had seen! So although this may be moved to the saloon, I am wondering if Greg is/was a member of SASS? My school was in Niles IL, run by the same Holy Cross priests that also run the University in South Bend. So if anyone knows Greg Duda, let me know? I am 69, figure he would now be mid to late 70’s. Thanks again.

Pictures are working

Just a suggestion, you might want to add a price and if shipping is included or separate. I looked a couple of times and didn’t see it but am without my readers.

Agreed as I also shoot .44spcl, but you never know the over all length (OAL) needed until you try. But it could also be a chance that if you shorten the mag tube spring they would fit. However I was talking more about the.45 Colt models as they are next to .357 in popularity. Still loading on the clock isn’t bad if you really like the rifle!

And 10 round magazines! Most of these new lever guns are coming in 9 round tube magazines. Perhaps a shorter magazine spring would get them the 10th round in the mag, but, again if the shooter really wants to shoot it and is ok loading one from the belt to get to 10, I say go for it!

I was hoping he had one from The Comancheros movie. I want to get a Rossi, octagon 24” barreled .44 mag 92 and plate the receiver, remove the forearm and plate the curved butt stock, thinking it should come pretty close. Always live John Wayne holding it up and then giving it to Jack Elam!

OK for you who missed it in the movie theater it’s on right now HBO 8 o’clock and it’s also on max if you missed it tonight you can always rewatch it on demand worth watching even if it is three hours worth watching!

I think he borrowed it from Chuck Connors, Johnny Crawford brought it with him!

I could sear I thought it was what I was saying but I need to look at the show again. My memory must be playing tricks on me. I could swear that he had an 1873 rifle long barrel like I said that 40 but 30 inches and he had a nice brass scope on the top of it and he was the sharpshooter the group I could be wrong anyway thanks gentlemen.
