Interesting new lever gun
Chief Rick replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Several years ago Michael Bane did a feature on one of these (in 460 S&W IIRC). The action looked to be really stiff and he had to really work it to get it to cycle. -
You could always PM me if you thought they needed a new home... Just sayin'.😁 Seriously.

Here's what I tell my fellow shooters; You want to see this or that (poppers, flying birds, reloads, close targets, farther targets, etc) then move the steel and write the stages.

Did Ruger make any Vaquero's (New or Old) in 44-40. Either regular or Bisley grips?

For monthly matches, the starting line I write in the shooter package I email out and post online is "State when ready". For an annual, sometimes a movie/TV line, sometimes something I make up. But, for an annual, I post the starting line at all starting positions. Oh, and keep the starting lines short/simple. The longer the starting line, the more likely I am going to say "let 'er buck".

Firefly / Serenity Fans - Have You Heard.......
Chief Rick replied to Calamity Kris's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Animated today is not what a lot of us grew up with. It can be done tastefully for adults. Animation will also allow voice actors to take on roles of characters if the series is successful beyond the desires of the current actors. -

That is correct. Not only not in the correct order but they would cancel a showing (preempt) for other shows at the last minute. -
Installing threaded inserts in fiberglass stock
Chief Rick replied to Chief Rick's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I'm putting this project on hold for now. I'm working on a trade for a chassis that already has a bag rider. Gentleman is willing to trade straight for a scope that I happen to have that I just took off another rifle. I prefer the look of a traditional stock over a chassis and the feel of fiberglass over aluminum, but... This is what's currently on the rifle (only in green): This is what I'm now planning to put on the rifle: -
Installing threaded inserts in fiberglass stock
Chief Rick replied to Chief Rick's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Well, I'm not shooting PRS and never have. I read the quote above but I don't see how a bag rider will aid positional shooting in PRS. In my limited experience, these work best from a bench or prone. For me, this is for a bench gun - specifically for 22LR Long Gong matches. It's been driving me crazy that almost all fiberglass stocks come with a cut out under the stock these days (hand-grab/butt hook - I don't know what it's called). And on top of that, most of these don't have an easy way of attaching pic rail or a bag rider directly. I would not think much. The rifle is heavy but it's going to to be shot from a bench and is chambered in 22LR. -
I've read a little and watched a couple of videos. It quite frankly just doesn't interest me, but I'm not a techy person. That said, I am interested in WinLink for EmCom in case we have another Katrina level event down here along the coast.

Installing threaded inserts in fiberglass stock
Chief Rick replied to Chief Rick's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
You mean instead of 2-part epoxy? I had a though of cutting the ends off a couple of older arrows I have and epoxying them into the stock. I believe the inserts on the arrows are threaded 8-32. Thoughts? Or should I use a 1/2" long, 10-24 threaded insert? I don't think I trust a rivnut. I don't know how thick or strong the fiberglass is. -
I have a fiberglass stock (Graeboe Ridgeback) that I want to put a bag rider on. Problem is, there's no picatinny rail on the bottom of the buttstock. Was thinking of drilling a hole and using epoxy for a nutsert or similar in order to attach a short piece of picatinny.. Looking for recommendations on accomplishing this.

Sorry, but a "pretty solid person" doesn't critique based on one frame of video. I'm not an expert, but there's no way I would critique this officer's grip based on a single picture. There's not enough to base a critique on.

This from a keyboard commando being a Monday morning quarterback. A person that's never been in a compromising situation in their life, unless you include running out of soy milk for their latte. You can't educate people like that. I try to stay away from them.
