  1. It's with a Sad and Heavy Heart that I report the passing of Don Wright, alias McShagnasty. SASS #452. He was Shooting End of Trail back in 1985-'86-'87 as a Coto Cowboy before SASS was founded in late 1987.  He was one of my best friends for the last 38 years. He was 81 years old when the Lord called him Home. He shot with Butch Cavetchee, Buford McHog, Apache Kid, and myself Big Jake. He Loved making Holsters, Spur Straps, Hat Strings, Shaps. Gun Belts and lots of Knives, both big and tiny ones. He had a Heart attack and was in Hospital for a couple of days. He came home for a month and passed with his family all close by at the end.  Via Con Dios  Vaquero. You will be missed.

    "The range at Buckskinner Park consists of piney woods surrounding a small lake at 7,000 feet elevation.

    There was plenty of camping area in the park, although the downtown hotels were only a five minute drive away."

    The Judge and R.J. Poteet, up early to check out the range. Rail Head, 1988

    The lake and some long range targets are behind them.

     

    I remember that trip, I went over to Arizona with the Judge and RJ Poteet #'s 1 and #3 in the van with them.  I had a great time, we rode the First train to run up to the Grand Canyon in a long long time. We Cowboys had a train car all to ourselves. Just sayin'

  4. Remember, remember!
    The fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder treason and plot;
    I know of no reason
    Why the Gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot!
    Guy Fawkes and his companions
    Did the scheme contrive,
    To blow the King and Parliament
    All up alive.

  6. 17 years ago I was walking a swap meet and came across this Vintage Brass Eagle head and bought it for a future time in my life when I would be needing to use a cane That time is getting closer by the minute. Now I gotta find someone who's good at woodworking and make me a stick to screw it onto. Just sayin'

     

    PS.......it's gotta be a long stick, I'm 6'6" tall. It's a long way to the ground.

  8. Well, I do belong to many groups within Facebook like Vintage Rimfire Rifles, Single Shot Rifles, Gun Porn, Vintage Stevens Rimfires, Vietnam CUPP Marines (I was a Marine in Vietnam) Rolling Block Rifles, 45-70 Rifles, Hellraisers Saloon (Fun place), guns of John M Browning and so on and so on I like those groups and try to spend my time there, but every once in a while I stray into dangerous waters and I love Yanking the Chain of a buncha Libtards and argue with them about Trump vs, Obama or Hillary. Man O Man do they get nasty...call you vile names. use foul language, I'm an A$$hole, bigot,racist, and everything else they throw at me. I just laugh and say it's all true....so what? it's no skin off your nose. That pisses them off that I don't care what they call me. Just sayin'

  9. Hello all you Saloonatics, It's been awhile since

     

    I've been here.

    Bottles, gimme a Bucket of Beer and a Ice Cold Mug. I'll just grab a chair at my favorite table under the stairway.

     

    I spose I spend too much time on Facebook instead of here where I belong. But tonite I got throwed in the Facebook Jail for 24 hours for something somebody didn't like what I said.

     

    I said I choose my Friends carefully, not any Muslims, is True. I guess that offended somebody and they reported it.

    Facebook deleted it and put me in the Hoosegow. I don't really know any Muslims and don't go out asking anyone what they are. There is NO Sign on my front lawn saying "If you are a Muslim, knock on my door....Let's be friends. So Here I am for the remainder of my sentence. Let's have a cold one and I'll Buy.

     

    Bottles, set 'em up if they want one. Just sayin'

  10. Why would people say a WW l Destroyer? Seems to me WW l ended Nov 11th 1918. This ship may be from that ERA but the WAR ended before she was ever started. 1919-1946 is a great run. Just sayin'
