Heck, the likes of Rye, Dave, Scout, Doc, Mad Dog, Randy, Larsen, and Abilene just ain't admitting they been doing this that long.
Shot double duelist since at least 2000. The past year or so my left thumb does not always work so I have had to switch to a cross-draw and shoot regular duelist. Once my right thumb quits I will just be a spectator.

My hope is that the thieves do not melt the objects down for the gold and jewels and that they are ultimately recovered.

Is there something like that for the Marlin 1894 C spring? That thing was such a pain to get in there right.
Easy, peasy. Put spring on strut. Put on spring retainer. Take a screwdriver (or small deep well socket) with no bit in it and put it over the tip of the strut and push. In this photo the drill bit represents the strut. The retainer is not represented.

By putting an old Vaquero hammer in a New Vaquero you will have created what Ruger sells as the CFDA. (Cowboy fastdraw association.)

No way to tell without a chrono. Guns vary and the velocity out of two identical models can vary by quite a bit.

what guns can and can't be slam fired
You have to apply rule 13 or whatever the ROC is calling it these days - common sense. Which guns can be slam fired? Those guns with the feature built into the mechanism. For SASS there are only two - the 97 Winchester and the Colt Lightning and these can be rendered safe just by letting go of the trigger. No SASS legal lever gun has ever come with slam fire. And if modified you would have two problems. One since you cannot hold the trigger back while levering it is the lever that will/would depress the trigger. There would be no way to disable the slam fire once the stage started and you would have an unsafe gun. Two the slam fire would require something like the mechanism shown in Crazy Gun Barney's reply. That is an external mod. It is not an approved external mod and will never be allowed because of number one.
Looks like Barney answered while I was typing.

This is the term that the shooters that are getting 12.xx-15.xx scores have used when I have talked with them. They all shoot 73s.
I will guarantee you that they are NOT slam firing. They are all hitting the trigger with their finger. No one is running a slam firing rifle like Lucas MaCain in The Rifleman.

Watching and talking with some top shooters, they all use slam fire rifles.
Where did you come up with this? The only SASS legal rifle that can slam fire is the Lightning and how many shooters do you see using them?

So I am not supposed to buy a Colt or CZ product because the Canadian government is screwed up? What utter BS.

$700 plus for roll stamping. $300 for front sight replacement. $2600 for restoration plus other services. Wow! That's why I asked the question.
Here you go. Twenty bucks.

Ruger makes a few sets and when those are gone they will run off a few more sets. It is 100% no big deal. There are only two differences between a "SASS" New Vaquero and a regular model. One, they have a little round SASS cowboy glued onto the grips. Two, they have a Montado/SBH low profile hammer. They have no action job. Most people junk the grips and replace them with aftermarket grips. The hammers are a $35.00 item and the most common modification to the NMV. Just buy a regular Vaquero, replace the hammers and save yourself few bucks.

They were put together by somebody for re-creation performances in Tombstone.
That is almost a sure tip-off that these are dedicated blanks. I.e., the primer holes have been drilled otherwise the guns would be jamming a lot. Do not attempt to use these for live ammo.

Upper hammer is the "old" Vaquero hammer that Ruger put on its fast draw model.
The lower hammer is the standard New Model Vaquero hammer. Pick which one you like best and then take Boggus Deal up on his offer.

Where is the best place to buy Remington low recoil shotshell ammo between El paso and Phoenix,
To be honest no where. Anyone planning on dropping into a Sportsman's, Cabelas, Bass Pro, Walmart or other store selling ammunition at random and finding what they are looking for is almost sure to be disappointed. What is available on Monday most likely won't be there on Tuesday. Many brands of ammunition, powder, primers and percussion caps are very spotty. Jackaroo you best bet is for a friend to pick you up some ammo when it is available locally and bring it to EOT or take up Slim's offer and order it on-line and have it shipped to him or Kay.

For SASS your load is WAY overkill. Why would you want to shoot 1 1/4 oz loads? For SASS you want between 35 and 40 grains of powder and 7/8 or 1 ounce of shot.

More weight = less recoil. Common fix.

Yes it is possible, but don’t think this one would have ever moved with me just beating on it.
I found the same thing. It was not coming out by beating on it. I had to press the last one I worked on out.

There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago. See if you can find it with a search.
