Cimarron Model P Army Grips?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Blaze_Dawson's topic in SASS Wire
Texas Grips extended grips would be the way to go. BUT, I do not see them listed for the Pietta. -
+1 on this. Also consider when you try to sell the guns inn the future. If the front sight has been filed most people won't even consider buying the gun. Remember the targets in SASS are close and shot fast. You frequently hear people yell "front sight" when someone misses a target. No one yells "carefully align your front sight with the rear notch."

Winchester/Miroku '73 - I give up.
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Totes Magoats's topic in SASS Wire
I would not hold my breath. They have been on the market for over ten years and the parts issues have not been resolved. -
Skip the grease altogether. Grease attacks dirt. Clean that crap off and spray the internals with a good gun oil like Ballistol or Hornady One Shot. The only guns I use gease on are Colt cap and balls on the arbor. Everything else gets a shot of oil and like others have said I only clean them sporatically. They run for months just fine.

Rugged gear stool -- No More?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Cholla's topic in SASS Wire
Wow that is quite a mark down. When companies do that it sometimes indicates they are getting rid of discontinued stock. -
The Germans got into tank building late in WWI and only built around 20. They had a crew of 18 and most were destroyed during battle or scrapped after the war. The tank commander and driver sat on top of the engine and had to wear asbestos suits to protect them from the heat. The only remaining WWI German tank is in Australia. It was taken as a war trophy.

Cimarron Model P Army Grips?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Blaze_Dawson's topic in SASS Wire
Parts needed are the triggerguard, backstrap and new grips. I don't know anyone that sells them as a kit. All the Pietta 1873s are bascially the same. Right now even finding parts can be difficult. The parts may also come "unfinished". All you can do is call and ask. -
Cimarron Model P Army Grips?

Several models come with Army size grips. EMF sells Pietta. You can call them for parts or Taylor and Company, Cimarron or VTI. They all have parts. https://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/-Alchimista-I-c585.htm -

Water Situation in California

First they are griping about a drought. Now they are griping about rain and snow. I guess they have not figured out rain and snow is what ends droughts. -

Out of curiosity did he have sears or did he repair the one you had? -

No wonder my butt feels so heavy when I am running to the next gun in the firing sequence. -
Ruger 44-40 Cylinder...LOST
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Dash Caliber's topic in SASS Wire
The 9mm single action cylinders come from 9mm/.357 convertible single action revolvers. If they were different lengths they would not be convertible. -
Ruger 44-40 Cylinder...LOST

I would look on EBay and buy a 9mm or .357 cylinder and have it bored out and rechambered. -
Gunfight speed question
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Widder, SASS #59054's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I had some of that for lunch yesterday. -
At least four .308 rifles have blown-up in the past week. It turns out they were all using the same ammo and the ammo was the same lot number. The ammo is ZSR and the lot number is 015. I did not want to try and grab a scene shot of the ammo boxes off the YouTube videos showing the explosions so I went on-line to look for the ammo. The very first vendor I looked at had this photo on their website. Lot 015. If you have any of this stuff you should probably not shoot it. The manufacturer is in Turkey and has not responded to inquiries about the ammo.

I use to buy lots of Betamax, then VHS, then DVD movies. I use to love going to Best Buy and wondering up and down the numerous aisles that had nothing but DVDs in them. Betamax and VHS and long gone. The aisles of DVDs turned into a rotating rack and last week the Best Buy closed all together. As my daughter told me recently, "Dad no one buys DVDs anymore." Streaming has killed them. So my collection is whatever is on Netflix, Prime, HBO+ etc.
