  1. A big thing in counterfeiting right now is older coins. A huge percentage of the Morgan Dollars and Trade Dollars for sale through eBay are fakes. It takes some education to spot them. Specific die markers are "tells". Too many trusting souls are getting parted from their money. Ebay has a reporting mechanism, but they are no longer responsive to it. Machines have replaced humans there, and they've been programmed to maximize eBay's profit and let the buyer beware.
  2. Updated today. Removed some who retired or closed their shop. Added a couple more. If you know a gunsmith that knows what we need that you'd like to recommend, who is taking in new work and has an FFL, (and wouldn't mind being listed)... Add them to the comments. (See the list in Abilene's post above).
  3. Cowboy Mounted Shooting at Winter Range 1996. CMSA founders. L to R: Bronc aka John Peel, William Bruce aka Jim Rodgers and Rawhide Rawlins aka Phil Spangenberger.
  4. I followed Widder's exact instructions, measurements, and tweaks that he posted on Marauder's Old Irons site and made my Marlin into a Widdermatic. That little rifle is slick now. The timing was off before I started as I did have an instance of the "Marlin Jam". If you do want someone else to work on it, since Widder retired, he taught Slater at Slater's In House Guns, in Louisville, TN, how to sweeten up sour Marlins. In your neck o' the woods, Cowboy Carty, Carty Allaman, Western Gun Works, Monmouth, IL (309) 536-0163 is a wizard with Marlins.
  5. Thunderbolt Taylor, 1993 EoT
  6. Kid Clayton, Doc Holliday, Bootlegger, Ringo, and the Hangman, 1998 Western Action Shooting Society, (New Zealand) - End of Trail
  7. Los Pistoleros de Santa Margarita - the Santa Margarita Gun Club at Camp Pendleton monthly match. The matches at Pendleton were unique among other cowboy matches, in that the Marine Corps rifle range offered the opportunity for some very challenging stages. The rifle targets for most stages were set out at 75-100 yds, with at least one stage with rifle targets at 200 yds. There was always a team event at the end of the match. Because of the stages' tough, challenging, and slower nature, there was only time for 4 or 5 stages per match. Most stages were shot with only one or two guns.
  8. Tex Boden, Duke Chisum (R.I.P.), Mayobard, Wyatt Earp SASS #1628, and Pat Riot
  9. Taipan, Colin Dangaard, at EoT 1999
  10. McC, did you find the carrier that you were looking for?  If you are still looking, I have one that might fit the bill.  I bought it to maybe replace one that had a small hole from a casting flaw in an original Longhunter rifle.  Never was problem for me, but I sold the rifle to a rookie buyer and he cried about it being more used than my description and photos showed.  I gave him his money back minus my shipping & ffl cost, and sold the rifle to a very knowledgeable SASS shooter the day after I received back.  The new one I bought I sent to Sgt. Eli for lighting.  He found a casting flaw in it also but filled the small gap with JB Weld and finished it with final machining.  If you are interested PM me a cell phone # and I can provide a couple of photos.  The price will be $100.00 shipped me to you.  C.W.
