Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933

Was checking because if it is a cap and ball you would have to cap it on the clock.

Are you talking about a cap and ball or a cartridge conversion?

I could never own a Yul gun cart. There is simply no room for it in my living room.

Yep and an empty hull in a shotgun is a 10 second penalty while a live round in a revolver is a 5 second penalty. I am glad Moe brought this topic up. Combined with the sad news about the passing of Wildshot's wife Mrs. Slickshot I am nostalgic for the Wild Bunch. They owned, operated and made the rules for SASS. I miss the Judge, the General, Hipshot, Tex, Wildshot, Coyote Calhoun and the others that were on the Wild Bunch from time to time. Hell, I even miss Chiseler. Life was simple then. If the Wild Bunch said something was OK it was OK. If the Wild Bunch said something was not OK it was not OK. That is all anyone needed to know.

SKB's are fairly lightweight. A lot of people think they balance better with slightly longer barrels. Purely a matter of personal preference.

A lot of SASS rules are evolutionary. There use to be a Modern category for adjustable sights. Why is it gone? When Senior duelist was first introduced some people switched to adjustable sights since "age" based categories are allowed to use adjustable sights. Then SASS decided the underlying category was not age based so adjustable sights would not be allowed in Senior, Silver Senior, etc., variations of those categories. (E.g. Duelist, Gunfighter) Why are ejectors not allowed on SxS shotguns when they are allowed on pump and lever guns? Why can't your crossdraw holster be set at more than 30 degrees? Why, why, why? If someone will not take up Chess unless the instructor can explain why each piece can only move in a particular direction or pattern they are not going to be playing Chess.

Every time SASS loosens the rules or adds categories the net effect on shooter numbers is usually zero. This comes up every year or so. The C&B shooters are concerned about aesthetics and usually vote it down. This is sort of like the argument of what would have happened if Custer had taken a Gatling gun to the Little Big Horn. He didn't. He is dead. So is this proposal.

Prayers up.

The answer to this question will determine what kind of bench you can get. If it has to be portable then you are looking at something like a Workmate. If you are going to leave it set up the size of your space will determine what you can have.

Just type TSA locks into your search bar. A million will come up but they all use the same simple key.

The method in the old articles still works and works with any Colt style revolver. It is still half the width of the hand plus the thickness of any boss that might be present. (Arrow.) Even on Colt 51 and 60 frames the stock Ruger plunger will fall through the plunger hole on some guns. Simple solution is to cut the end off the drill you used to make the hole and make a longer plunger. Yeah, yeah the hand in the photo is a Ruger. It was the first hand/pawl I found in my junk drawer but shows the boss quite nicely.

Are you sitting down? $12.99. $11.70 with military discount.

I like those holders for the butt stock. How durable do you think those 3D printed holders will be?

I just got back from my local Cabelas and they put all the ammunition into a U shaped island. Only one way in or out. I did pick up some Remington #10 caps.

Was over at my local Sportsman's Warehouse a couple of days ago and they were removing some gun racks and putting up shelves. I asked what they were doing and was told they have been losing thousands of dollars in ammunition every month. So they were having to move the premium ammunition behind the counter to help cut down on theft. Like pretty much every other retailer in the country they are not allowed to confront criminals. Hell you go to Walgreens or CVS and at least half the merchandise is in locked cases. It is a sad thing that if a shop owner defends their property it is the owners that are going to jail and not the thieves.

Recommended minimum gun weight.

When I did the button conversion I had sold my welder and this works quite elegantly.

The pendulum spring is part #609006 in this diagram. I do not understand what you are saying about ejector hammers. When the the ejectors are deactivated the parts are generally removed from the foreend.

The extractor on the 100 and other mechanical extractor SKBs works off the plunger on the front of the receiver pushing on the end of the extractor. Yellow is the extractor and red is the frame mounted plunger. When you de-activate the ejectors on an ejector model the ejectors are shorter and the plunger can't push them as far as a mechanical extractor and they do not come out of the barrel as far as the mechanical extractor. What I do is drill a hole in the face of the plunger and fit a spacer to take up the space and push the extractors out further. Purple arrow. The way you weaken the interia reset is to put a lighter spring in the inertia block AKA pendulum. Cutting the existing spring usually does not work well as you remove the preload when you cut it. Or you can do what real BP shooters do and add more powder.

That is only nine days. You deserve a longer vacation than that!

This is Monk now. When he started he was a Buckaroo.

Current SASS members are not using 158s. They are using 125 grains and even lighter.

Lunch? Tastes like chicken.
