Brass headstamp question
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Matthew Duncan's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Kinda hard to answer without you telling us what the headstamp is or having a decent photo of the case head. -
Cannot watch a movie without my Junior Mints. Got addicted to York Peppermint paddies in 1970-71. That was when all the major candy bars went from a nickle to a dime but the pepermint paddy stayed at a nickle for a while and being cheap/poor I bought those. One that I really liked when I was a child in California was the Mountain Bar. Did not see them for years and then found them on the Internet. Ordered some but they sure did not taste like I remember them in the 1950s.

Same crap in lots of places. Some restaurants in Detroit will not serve cops. Here is a squib from an article about a food chain in San Francisco. Some cops in San Francisco will have to look elsewhere for their leavened goods after Reem's California, a local bakery chain, said it is enforcing a policy not to serve anyone armed.

Pedometers
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Forty Rod SASS 3935's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Your smart phone has a built in pedometer. You do not need any attachments. Years ago i had a pedometer called a Hike-o-Meter. -
John Wayne was he too stiff necked?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Mezcal Charlie's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
FYI John Wayne has been dead for 45 years. No one really gives a crap anymore. This thread is right up there with "What would have happened if Custer had taken a Gatling gun to the Little Big Horn." -
19 is the trigger spring and 240 is the trigger spring/safety screw. As previously noted those should still be in the gun. One thing to check is if the trigger and sear have been welded together to make a solid trigger. This is frequently done with the safety is removed. If they are still two pieces it is an easy fix. Just get the safety lever (91) and pin (111). Do not buy the old style safety spring shown in this diagram (94). Buy one of the aftermarket wire wound springs.

Colt commemoratives value?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Currahee's topic in SASS Wire
The Winchester/Colt was absolutely ugly. The "gold" on the barrel and other parts looked like it was applied with a stencil. I converted mine to .38-40. -
ever get frustrated with search engines
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
ever get frustrated with search engines No, because I am not smart enough to write my own software. So, I have to accept what is available. -
Sometimes it helps to load all ten and leave it sit it the safe for a few days. Might also benefit from shortening the mag spring just a tad.

Colt commemoratives value?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Currahee's topic in SASS Wire
As noted most of the Colt Commemoratives are ugly and were made to sit in a box. Only a few are worth more than a standard model. However they can present good deals as shooters. I picked up this 125th Anniversary of the founding of Colt SAA about a month ago. Unfired in the box. It has a gold plated hammer, trigger, backstrap and trigger guard, base pin and ejector. I find it to be hideous. HOWEVER this is a 2nd Gen Colt vintage 1961. The 50s and early 60s 2nd Gens are more desirable than the late 60s and 70s models. I got this one for 1/2 to 1/3 of what a NIB standard model would cost. If I ever find another one at a decent price I will shoot them. In the mean time this one will sit in the safe. -
What FPS do you aim for out of your pistols?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Quiet Burp's topic in SASS Wire
I use standard pistol primers in my revolvers and magnum pistol primers in my rifle just to make sure they can make the extra two yards. -
Marlin does have a website. You could just read what the manufacturer says. https://www.marlinfirearms.com/s/model_1894Classic/

Depends on the caliber. 100 grain .38 bullet no. 250 grain .45 bullet yes. -
Chevy seat belt safety device
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Trigger Mike's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Looks like GM started putting the system into some 2021 models as part of a teen ager safety system. It is in most models for 2023. I did find this - Before you start a letter-writing campaign to GM about overreach, however, you should know that there are multiple ways to disable Buckle to Drive. We’re sharing that with you not because we’re encouraging people to drive unbuckled, but because it’s an important point to understand. GM-Techlink.com laid out the instructions in detail: “Buckle to Drive can be turned off through the Settings menu on the infotainment screen; go to Settings > Vehicle > Buckle to Drive. On vehicles that include the feature as part of Teen Driver Mode, go to Settings > Vehicle > Teen Driver. The vehicle may need to be restarted to register the setting change.” -
Beretta Renegade 1873 .45 Colt modification
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Yankee Joe's topic in SASS Wire
They also had a shotgun type buttstock with a rubber recoil pad instead of the cresent buttplate. Is that allowed in NCOWS? -
How do arrive at that conclusion?

Competition compromises
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Cockney Rebel's topic in SASS Wire
What the heck does this mean? Front of what? If you are talking about the rule book cite a page and paragraph. SOG's are not addressed in the rule book until page 23. Is that the front? -
Giving Delusional Morons a Bad Name
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
What is sad is that this is actually a trend. Modern employees want to work from home and if they do go into work they want to arrive and leave when they want and dress any way they want. -
97 Winchester Action will not open
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Nawlins Kid SASS #36107's topic in SASS Wire
The Winchester Model 97 was in production for 60 years. During that time there were numerous refinements during production. Major refinements were designated by a "C", "D" or "E" stamped above the serial number. On the one with the screw its serial number should be below the one with the button as the button is a later refinement. Oh, the button allows the magazine to be emptied without cycling the action. -
Savage 99
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Dirty Dan Dawkins's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I always liked this caliber. It is pretty much like a .243 - the 80 grain bullets are generally for varmits and the 100 grain for deer size animals. Sold my last 99 in .250 several years ago and regretted it. Just last month I saw a Ruger RSI at Cabelas in .250 Savage. I fondled it, drooled on it, wiped it off and put it back on the shelf. A very rare gun and even two or three years ago I would have bought it. But I am trying to get rid of some guns and no longer hunt so I passed on it. -

Primers at pre-COVID prices — it’s real.
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Cholla's topic in SASS Wire
In all honesty that had to have been an error in your favor. Locally at Sportsman's they are $58. Remingtons were more than $28 pre-covid.
