1866 Winchester Miroku?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Outrider, SASS #72622's topic in SASS Wire
If the MSRP posted is correct that means the street price will be right down there in the Uberti price range. -
SASS Management - I think y'all need to fix this
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Pat Riot's topic in SASS Wire
This is strange. I have a Mac and use regular old Apple Safari for searches and Google is set as the default provider. If I type in something about SASS in Safari everything works fine. My IPhone has never had a problem getting onto SASS. However, if I type Google in the Safari search bar and go to the Google page and then type in something about SASS in the Google search bar I do get a blank page. The only other time I have trouble getting to SASS is when I am on WiFi. A lot of businesses have filters on their WiFi to block pornography and violent sites. P.S. I just tried DuckDuckGo and the SASS website comes up as a blank page. -
Alliant Black MZ
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Lefty Dutchman, SASS #41480's topic in SASS Wire
Basically Black MZ is just repackaged APP. After months of $10.00 per bottle prices the local Sportsman's Warehouse hasn't had any for the past several weeks. I hope the gravy train hasn't ended. -
The firing pin bushing seats solidly in the frame. It is not supposed to be dimensioned so that the retaining pin holds it out from its seat in the frame. If there is something wrong with the bushing seat in the frame it is not something you can fix. The retaining pin could be left out entirely and it should not affect how deep the bushing is sitting in the frame. If you don't know what you are doing returning the gun to Ruger would be the best course of action.

Tom Mix Revolver?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Raritan River Kid SASS #23259's topic in SASS Wire
You are in command of the mightiest research tool in the world. The Internet. Go on-line and start searching. Tom MIx was famous so there are a lot of resources on him. He died in a car crash right here in Arizona just outside of Florence. There is a road marker at the crash site. -
cap gun question 1860 Army
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Bugler's topic in SASS Wire
Your best bet is to put the good parts on Ebay and just buy a new Pietta steel frame. They are on sale frequently at places like Cabelas. By the time you buy a frame and assemble one from parts you will probably spend more than a new one will cost. -
Mini mr. Bullet feed
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Colt Walker 45's topic in SASS Wire
Once the bullet feeding tubes are filled you can load the ammo much faster than loading the tubes. I have three magazines so they hold around 320 bullets. I fill them when goofing around sorta like filling primer tubes. Once everything is set to go it makes the actual loading process a lot nicer. I have an RCBS bullet feeder so what I have done is set the RCBS feeder up so I can fill the mini-bullet feeder tubes. I use the mini-feeder on my Dillon 1050 because the RCBS doesn't work well on it because on a 1050 the tool head moves up and down rather than the ram and kinks the flexible metal feeding tube. The RCBS feeder is attached to a Dillon 650. -
If you are looking for SASS guidelines have you tried the rule book? Metal and paper targets of generous size are used. Reactive targets such as pepper poppers and falling plates are used when practical to enhance shooter feedback and spectator appeal. Targets are set at close to medium range. There are no absolute rules, but we suggest the following distances, by firearm, if using a target approximately 16" X 16": Revolver – 7 to 10 yards Shotgun – 8 to 16 yards Rifle – 13 to 50 yards That's all there is. Target size and distances are determined by the club.

OP the term "Zulu" shotgun just means a class of cheap, cobbled together single shot firearms made for the African trade. They were made from French, Belgium, British and other surplus military arms or cobbled together out of any cheap civilian guns that were avaiable. You will need a much more detailed description of what you have and PHOTOS to have any chance to find what you are looking for.

I have a blue car. It needs a new transmission. Can anyone help?

Numrich frequently just gets generic parts. You just need a spring for a SAA. Some springs do need a little fitting if they bump on the back of the hammer when it is cocked. Either of these should work fine. http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/performance-enhancing-kits/gunslinger-handgun-spring-kits-prod1577.aspx http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/frame-parts/mainspring-parts/mainsprings/saa-cowboy-action-springs-prod16557.aspx Or for a stock spring scroll down to #36. Although I can't imagine why anyone would want a stock spring when the aftermarket tuned springs are about the same price. http://www.brownells.com/schematics/Uberti-/1873-Cattleman-S-A--sid325.aspx

VTI, Taylors, EMF, Cimarron. Of just skip the factory springs and get a Lee or Wolff.

American Western Arms Lightening Rifle
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Tinpan McGurk's topic in SASS Wire
I haven't seen him for several years. The last time I talked to him he refused to just sell parts. Running "El Rod" here yields no results. Googling Eldon Penner does not show a website or address. So, for all practical purposes the parts are basically non-existent. If you have contact infomation it would be useful to print it. -
Good. The only American I have left is an old M-7 lightweight.
-
Wow, that price list is from 2008. I wonder if they are even still in business? I haven't seen a new one on a dealer's shelf in a long time.

1866 Winchester Miroku?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Outrider, SASS #72622's topic in SASS Wire
You bought a Winchester by Miroku 66 a year ago? They only had a couple of engraved prototypes at the shot show a year ago. If you have a standard "production" model where did you get it? -
American Western Arms Lightening Rifle
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Tinpan McGurk's topic in SASS Wire
Some worked. Some did not. The early ones were marked "AWA International" and had functioning problems. The later ones were marked "AWA USA." Some of those ran fairlly well. There are no spare parts. I always tell people if you are going to shoot a Lightning it is going to become your second hobby. What's funny about Lightnings is they might cycle dummy rounds all day but as soon as you go to the range for some live fire they start to have problems. If you aren't a decent gun mechanic you might want to pass as sending them out to get worked on can be expensive and there are only one or two people that really know how to tune them. -

Uberti1873 Competition Rifle............HELP

All the distributors sell "competion" ready revolvers as well. Just helps to be clear what you are talking about when asking tech questions. -

The past couple of years you have to figure out the application form and check the appropriate boxes. -
Uberti1873 Competition Rifle............HELP
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Rootin Tootin's topic in SASS Wire
Might be useful to specify whether you are talking about a rifle or a revolver. "1873" can be either.
