I'm going to give you my recommendation for Ruger Tuning in the SouthEast. Three Cut

Three Cut, James Clubb III, in North Carolina and El Q Jones, Island Gunsmithing, in FL have both done some excellent work on original guns for me. Repair and conservation keeps the collector value. Restoration makes for an excellent shooter.

When setting up a shotgun for WB, pay attention to the receiver edges where you slide the shells into the magazine. Those edges will filet your fingers!

WoW! I was thinking 8K for the pair. (I made an edit to be more clear. Thanks!)

I just in the thinking stage right now. Nothing definite, but eventually... What might be the resale value for a pair of 2nd Gen Colt Single Action Armies? They are fully hand-engraved, (not by Colt) nickel-plated 5-1/2" .357, with real ivory grips. They have lighted springs, but to my knowledge everything else is stock Colt. I've checked all the usual auction sights, and I can't find anything near a match. Last appraisal I got from a Colt collector was in the 8K range for the pair. But, what would be real world? (Yeah I know, whatever someone is willing to pay). But, if you had to set a price? I'm not much of photographer... this is the best I can do:

"US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said Thursday on CNN's "New Day..." "At this time, we don't want people to worry," Murthy said. "These numbers are still small; we want them to be aware of (the) symptoms, and if they have any concerns to reach out to their doctor." "At this time, we don't want people to worry..." That means it's time for all the media outlets to scream it from the rooftops, run in circles, scream and shout!!" Meanwhile, don't look behind the curtain at the country dissolving into the cesspoop.

...about that video... the final ruling was that the shooter was " Shooting on the move (continuous, fluid movement while engaging targets). SHB Vers 26.2 pg 22 (SDQ). not to be confused with the "basketball traveling rule". "Continuous, fluid movement" does not necessarily involve breaking the "BBT rule". The shooter's body is moving laterally during the entire revolver shooting string; even though one foot remains planted during each shot. So, as loud as a shooter wanted to scream, belittle, protest, or make the R.O. "feel like a putz"... it's an SDQ Possibly more if it degenerates into belligerent behavior. Comments to that were: "so even if a foot remains planted, it's considered "constant, fluid movement" if the shooter's body is moving in the same direction the entire string? My understanding is different. That would be a very difficult call if a foot remains planted, in my opinion?" The answer to that was: "That is what differentiates "shooting on the move" from violating the "basketball traveling rule". The BODY is in continuous motion while the "leading" foot remains planted & as the "trailing" foot moves from back to front." The difficulty in making such a call is the observation by the T/O and/or spotters during the actual stage engagement. " Recorded video/audio or photographic data will never be allowed to be presented as evidence in either regard. Remember: The benefit of any doubt always goes to the shooter."

It was one revolver being shot "Borg-quickly" with the shooter's upper body in continuous motion and the planted foot almost but not quite leaving the ground before the final shot... The only way to say he didn't move was by stop-motion video. So, if the RO and Spotters say the shooter didn't stop, and you can't use video replay... Then the shooter was moving. If a gunfighter shoots two revolvers with a split-time that is so close that the RO and the Spotters can't discern separate shots, that's a penalty also. Like Balls and Strikes there is an element of subjectivity. Until and unless there are rule changes we have to play within those parameters. On another note, I've never seen any of the "fast kids" do this constant movement thing. They always seem to have a stable stance when rolling quickly through a stage, like a well choreographed dance of death.

I was running the timer at a monthly shoot when a loudly shouting spotter caused a relatively, (under 1 yr.) new shooter to pause in confusion. I had the shooter stop, go to the ULT, gather himself and then reshoot. Talked to the spotter, but they feel adamant that they were in the right. It was not a safety related holler.

I hereby nominate Branchwater Jack to rewrite the Shooter's Handbook with all the pay and benefits the position is thereby entitled to. While your at it, write another amazing SouthEast Regional Match! I'm figuring my knee replacement ought to be healed up nice by then. (last year, everywhere you looked there'd be Branchwater Jack, doing something, fixing something, making sure everything was perfect! I wish I had a picture of him running across the field with a sledgehammer! The man was a whirlwind.)

If I remember right, the proposal that was up for vote was posted and pinned in all the forums and the TG Wire. If the TGs didn't pass this on properly to their members, how is that the fault of the ROC? The TGs had a long time to think this over and discuss it, and all the ramifications. If they read something into it that wasn't there, that's not the ROCs fault. Sounds like everyone wants to transfer their failures onto someone else. The vote was on exactly what was written. The legislators want to blame the judges for enforcing what the legislators passed.

Seems like if the majority of the TGs want to change this they can. So, why don't they? The meeting at Land Run is not far off. All you have to do is vote in an exception to the "safe to leave shooter's hands". It gives you time to discuss this with other TGs to see what their membership wants.

There's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they always come out tender. W. C. Fields

As TGs, don't you have to ability to bring forth an amendment to a rule for a vote? Seems like you want to do away with: "Safe Conditions During a Course of Fire – Rifles A rifle is considered SAFE to leave the shooter’s hands in the following condition(s) only (some conditions may be corrected before firing the next firearm): - Empty. - Hammer fully down on an empty chamber or spent round, action closed (restaged for further use)," for this instance. It looks like the ROC ruled correctly according to what was voted on. Just because there were unintended consequences, we should not throw rocks at the ROC. The legislation that is voted on should be clear and complete. Just like stage descriptions, "intent" doesn't get it done. It's what written that counts. Sounds like the TGs need to revisit this rule and see if the majority want to make an exception to the Safe Conditions section.

Most older, arthritic .45 Colt shooters are fine with the rifle rounds but need a reduced recoil load for handguns. My personal solution was to go to the Cowboy .45 Special case, (bless you Adirondack Jack!), and a 160 gr bullet. It can be loaded to near .45acp velocities, or successfully downloaded to mild, easily handled pressures. Using Trail Boss, the minimum I could go and still achieve a 2" group at 7yds was 3.5gr. (give or take -/+ 0.1gr for standard deviation). It sounds like a pop-gun, but gets the job done. I found that going below that, (I started at 3gr in my testing and worked up from there), the groups opened up and speeds were erratic. Now Trail Boss has gone away and supplies have dried up. So, I've experimented with Clays, using .45 Auto Rim data. This seems to be much closer to what we want than the .45acp data. There is none of this experimentation is needed with BP or APP. Just seat the bullet on the powder and done.

Since this young man has pitched a perfect game, I'd say he exhibits enough control to get the job done.

I've seen the Josey Wales category as a "hybrid". 4 BP pistols, any caliber, plus the shotgun. Since they're not SASS-categories, it's pretty much up to the match director to set the requirements.

I like their bright blue anodized followers better. Brass will become dull and look like a used case.

Long term costs of firearm ownership? Is that you just can't stop at the first one... or the first pair, or the first safe-full

On my screen the font is black. Does it have something to do with the browser or device? I read this on a PC, and the browser allows me to make the text larger or smaller. Can you enlarge the text? May that might help?

I'm staying in the game, no matter what the price is for primers. Heck, I'm getting both knees replaced (one at a time), just so'se I can keep going. I'm going to shoot my 4 matches a month, go to the few State matches near me and the Regional, pay whatever it takes in gas money. Going to keep doing that until I'm too feeble to pick up the guns anymore.
