Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933

The slides start off as solid round stock. The Ruger SxS and OU were all made in-house. The problem was the cost of production far exceeded what Ruger had intended to be the selling price.

I think I am reading more BS. The Ruger 1911 is produced 100% up in Prescott. I took a tour of the production line. Here are just a few of the hundred+ photos I took.

About like asking Ford to make a run of Model T's.

Never thought I would see Ruger peddling guns made by someone else.

At the turn of the 20th Century every hardware store in America had shotguns right next to the shovels. These unbranded guns were made by a variety of manufacturers and they are all bascally simiar in construction.

Call Taylor's.

If you apply the SASS category matrix there are over 150 categories. The last thing that is needed is more categories. Before anyone suggests a category or side match they should put on a match shooting that category or side match so they have some idea what they are asking for overworked match directors to do.

?????????????

Now I am afraid to leave the house.😳

That is what through me off when the question was first asked. Cut checkering is done by hand with a cutter. Taz missed EOT 2025 because he was having a heart transplant. Fortunately it looks like he will make EOT 2026. I have some checkering for him to do.

18.6834" Effective? Any shotgun at SASS ranges will be "effective." What is comfortable is personal preference.

Lots of USFAs (and all USPFAs) are Uberti parts guns including most of the China Camps.

Or Elmer Fudd.

Well, they paid up.

Half the teenage girls at the high school up the street have jeans that look worse than those.

I have a federal TSP account. (Thrift Savings Plan) I have gotten RMDs for several years. At the end of the year they do a reconciliation to make sure you were paid enough to avoid any penalties. This year I got a notice via email that a final distribution will be made and to look at my account data for an explanation. I know many people with various retirement accounts that sometimes wind up getting thousands of dollars at year's end. I have been car shopping to I looked to see how much I was getting. I have deleted all the account information but this is the body of the statement. My initial reaction was what a waste. Then I figured all of this stuff is done by computer so no big cost involved. I don't think the four cents will help my down payment much.😆

I wonder why? This is a screen shot of what I get.

Charles Middleton.

A quick AI search. This may or may not be the only Turkish manufacturer that makes Charles Daly.

Try to ID who in Turkey made the gun. Then either look at their website or another importer that has the same gun. The Turks are like the ChiComs and Italians. They make the same model gun for a bunch of different importers.

As long as it says in stock if you check on the order box it will be in Phoenix in a day or two and they will send you an email to pick the gun up. This is a huge store but the market is black guns so the cowboy stuff isn't always on the shelf.

TTN was simply the importer. Several companies have imported the same gun. Here is one from a local Phoenix store. https://tombstonetactical.com/product/cimarron-1878-coach-gun-12ga.-3-20-cylcyl-blued-walnut

6 to 8 hours. They are USB/USBC connectors so you can charge them pretty much anywhere.

I use to use one of these but the electric ones are much easier to use and control the heat. https://zippo.com/products/6-hour-refillable-hand-warmer
