DANG !! I wish these had been for the 1872 Army. Nice looking grips, Grashorn (Executioner) makes great grips.

I broke down and bought a Ruger PC9 yesterday,But I would have preferred it in 45 acp using 1911 Magazines, Looking on the bright side if Ruger does bring it out in 45 I'll have an excuse to buy another gun.

I was in the 82nd we were attached to the 101st at Camp Eagle in Vietnam, I never heard the 101st referred to as anything other than than the 101st and I never heard them refer to us as anything other than the 82nd.

I replace the extractors, springs and holder plate on an original 1887 with IAC parts, I didn't do any fitting everything dropped right in.

I live very close to MCAS Miramar Osprey's are flying over my house most days, It's kinda neat to see them transition from vertical to horizontal.

A few of the guys I shoot steel challenge with have them and really like the way they shoot, I have shot one a friend bought and was pretty impressed with the way it shot. I'm planning on picking one up in the near future.

It's been awhile but I don't think the M14 strippers worked in mine but they are cheap it's worth a try.

Howdy Forty Rod I tried to find stripper clips for my 300 Savage model 81 which are the same as the 35 Remington, I found clips that would hold the cartridges but they all have the stops that limit how far into the magazine they can go, on the ends of the clip for the Remington 8 and 81 the stops need to be in the middle of the clips to allow them to get far enough into the magazine to feed. I picked up a few clips for my 81 and model 8's in 30 Remington off ebay but they were downright pricey. I haven't looked in quite a while but I thought at the price the clips were going for someone would start making repro's but I haven't seen any. Good luck hope you find some. Willy B'

Howdy Conestoga I sent a PM your way. Willy B'

Thanks Lumpy I may end up there.

I'm looking for a .44 Magnum cylinder for either a Ruger super Blackhawk or Vaquero, If you have one you want to sell or know where to find one please let me know. Thanks Willy B'

He went out doing what he loved, I hope I get that lucky.
