Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439

My son just told me he doesn’t want the pearl grips replaced, likes the look of the black grips I have on the mate of the one shown. So thanks and watch out for scammers using DMs!! Make sure you are dealing with SASS members only!!

Thanks for the reply do you have their website?

Be 71 in August, beat stage 4 metastatic colon cancer and 4 heart attacks, ketchup doesn’t scare me.

I am moving up to Sebastian within the next 2 months and my son suggested we look for a SASS club close and start shooting again. I see this club on the SASS club page but their website isn’t active. Any one know anything? Thanks in advance

I never met anyone who didn’t like it, grew up in Northern burbs of Chicago and everyone put it on hamburgers, hot dogs and fries. Guess it’s a Midwest thing as most of my relatives in Wisconsin were the same way! But if someone doesn’t like Ketchup, catsup or whatever you call it so be it. Oh and only Heinz, even though the owners are way to the left!!

I would be in line for that category!!

And that is why I thought the guys at Henry Rifle would design a modified one to match a Volcanic!!

Sounds great except for all of us not in OK.

Both the seller and I went thru all the processes outlined by the USPS filing a claim number and continued for over a month calling every few days asking if it had been found at the OPA LOCKA distribution center. The excuse we both got was that they were checking all the containers and that sometimes the package remains in one and is shipped back out. The issue was that the FFL didn’t insured the package!! I believe he filed a complaint with the Postmaster General. I got tired of the ladies in their customer service not being able to get “intelligent” responses from the employers on the distribution floor. I am sure it was stolen by an employee.

Don’t tell that to all your countrymen who come and visit me in SE FL as snowbirds for a few months. I believe they think themselves citizens by default and longevity of stay. And watch out for them in Costco parking lots as they are ruthless when it comes to open parking spaces!!🤠

But if it was an added 10 new members to SASS besides all of us existing members that would also shoot it, would it be worth it then? And if the pistols sell how much more designing would it take to add a carbine/rifle that again would add possible new members as well as the rest of us buying them. I love Winchester lever actions and have either an original or replicas from a Henry thru 1895, and to add a Volcanic pistol and possible long gun would be great! I remember seeing Bill Koch’s collection in WPB FL at an exhibition he did after he bought the Billy the Kid tintype and he had both pistols and long guns. I also had a chance at a Volcanic pistol at a gun show down here in FL for 15,000, way out of my price range. I will also watch for the opportunity when they come out.

DONT DO IT!! USPS LOSES FIREARMS AND OFFERS NO EXCUSES, NOT SURE IF THAT INCLUDES INSURED SHIPMENTS. I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT A CIMMARON 1887 I BOUGHT FROM A PARD ON THE CLASSIFIEDS BACK IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR!!

I always thought that Henry Rifle might have thought about making them as it would close to a shorten version of the Henry 1860 rifle.

Took up Needle-Nose Tom’s offer but that was only one side, still looking for a gold emblem set as shown in my attached pictures. These were the pistols my son started with in SASS until a club member let him shoot a Ruger Vaquero in .357 and then he was shooting my set of Ruger Vaqueros in .44 mag shooting .44 special. Would really like to find a replacement pair.

Rifles, also in .44-40, $2,079.00

Thanks, I will.

Sorry for not getting back sooner to all of you but I was at our “new” house in Sebastian FL and didn’t have access to my son’s pistols. I need both sides to have the gold Colt emblem in them. Needle-Nose, if you want to send me the left panel I’ll take in case someone has only the right or to keep in case one gets damaged. Otherwise I am still searching.

Looking to replace damaged ones on my son’s Nebraska commemorative.22 SAA. Anyone have a set or a source for them? Thanks.

Walker, Texas Ranger has ridden into the sunset!! I enjoyed all his movies and shows!

And is this in the handbook? Or is it just your observation? As I said previously I did not or have not “competed” in state, regional or EOT matches and would only go to them to see the shooters their equipment and vendors. So there would be no advantage taken or danger to other shooters. Enuf said on my part.

While I agree with your suggestion, I would add that you should find a member of the club you shoot at that reloads and ask if you could watch after checking out YouTube as well. I got lucky with a Dillion Square Deal B way back in .44 spcl/mag for $125. The first couple of batches led two squibs, not enough powder in the cartridge leaving the bullet in the barrel. Got a couple of 36” brass rods that knock the bullets stuck out of the barrel my point is that too little, too much is a danger and reloading needs to be thorough knowledge doing it. Please walk thru it with someone and also remember loading bottle necked shells is also more difficult in straight walled shells.

Gunbroker has more than a few sources with 50 rnd boxes between $41 to $50 about a month ago, not inexpensive but a lot cheaper than when it was around $100 a box. Hope that helps.

No there wasn’t, just the neck of the test fired 44-40, his shop was part of a range/gun store.

I do reload .44 spcl in a SDB, the length of the ream was the length of a .44 spcl cartridge, a .44-40 fired shell does expand but I don’t shoot .44-40’s in the rifle. The gun will go to my son with the rest of my collection and no there is no marking on the barrel to say it has been reamed. It will be treasured by him and his offspring and not sold to anyone else but if it were ever to be, it would be noted. Has the “collector’s” value been harmed, yes I am sure, but again I shoot it in .44 spcl so it is of little concern to me! I have survived Stage 4 Metastatic colon cancer and as a week ago my fourth cardiac issue and have five stints. I tell you this so you will understand at 71 my longevity is in question and that I will continue to satisfy my desires when it comes to participating in life. Hence the question of RULES as I was not aware of any that would prevent me from shooting the rifle should I start be active again at a local club match. So again I ask is there a new rule that would prevent me from shooting the rifle at a SASS affiliated club match? If not then I can choose to shoot it, if there is then I have other 92’s I can shoot then next time I participate. You will take note I didn’t say compete as I have never competed since I joined back in the early 2000’s. I enjoy walking healed and looking like John Wayne, and at one time the comrades that I shot with. I appreciate your learned opinions however I don’t need to abide by them if I am not breaking rules.

By they way I do have a Browning 92 & a Winchester 92 both in .44 mag that I also shoot .44 special in. So I obviously know the difference between those cartridges and .44-40 which I shoot in my 1860 Henry, 1866 and 1873 Winchesters also made by Miroku.
