Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

But then I wouldn't have a Tombstone Special.

A while back I managed to acquire a Cimarron Tombstone Special by Pietta. LOVE the gun, light action, and even with the 10 inch barrel it balances well. But it has a problem. It shoots so high, that I have to hold low to the point that I can't see the front sight to even hit the target at 10 yards. I've considered replacing the front sight with a taller one, I just haven't gotten around to it. Today I got the bright idea to call Cimarron and see if they had any suggestions, parts, or whatever. The guy I talked to was cordial enough, but he'd never heard of one being that far off POA to POI. He suggested that the forcing cone might be off somehow and it might need a new barrel. Now I'm no expert, ((clearly), but I've never heard of a forcing cone causing a problem like that. Before I pay a Gunsmith to look at it, what do you guys think? Could that be the problem? Or should I just make a taller sight for it? Or maybe see if I can push Cimarron to look at it as a warranty issue. And would they even consider it since I got the gun used?

Not unless he read about it in a book or saw it in a movie and asked about it.

The truth of it is that NOBODY understands! Nobody knows where or why, or WHO started it. But it just is.🦆

It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand.

Again, bare steel on bare steel, something's going to break. Korea era, probably the old two piece steel baseplate. They look like this: There is NO give to this thing, and the Ship's Captain would probably frown on Marines denting his Deck. Again, could it be done? Yes. but something's going to break.

If you're coming to Tucson, there always Cowtown Boots right off I-10, and there's Boot Bunkhouse on Pima to check out. BONUS!! Boot Bunkhouse is two buildings down from Second Amendment Sports. There's also a new place, Cavender's, at Oracle and Limberlost. I've not been there, as they've not been open long, but it might be worth looking at.

As Subdeacon Joe said the recoil has to go somewhere, an it is SUBSTANTIAL! You would want, as Chantry mentioned, to mount them on sandbags or something similar, not only for that, but I promise you that if you fired one off the bare deck of a ship, the baseplate would slide, ruining any chance of accuracy or control. And SOMETHING would break. Even on hard packed dirt, they move while being fired, even if only a little.

I too like dogs more than I like most people. But in this case, the actions of some no good SOB allowed GOOD people to show their stuff. Actions like those of you and your Officer give me just a bit of hope for humanity.

The people that get offended by everything don't WATCH South Park and Family Guy. They watch CNN.

Right. The Lockers automatically (I think), activate, when in Low Range. A Locker that unlocks for turning works well in slick conditions. If I had the money and the need, I'd probably have a selectable Locker both front and back.

If it's like the TJ Rubicon models, they only lock in Low Range with an electronic locker. Most Jeepers don't recommend a locked front axle in snow anyway. Makes it hard to turn.

In case anybody's interested, Miwall has .38 S&W in stock. Several loadings, 148gr and 158gr.

I knew the guy that invented the selfie. He joined up with my Unit in the Marines when I was on Okinawa. He carried an Instamatic Camera around with him, (this was 1978), and about every third picture had him pointing it at himself.

The main problem I've had with FedEx, and I've mentioned it before, is that they kept leaving my stuff next door. I finally had to put a sign on my mailbox with my house number and an arrow pointing to my house. Since I did that, no problem.

You're showing the reasons I live in the desert. I don't have to shovel heat.

Here in Tucson, we only have the traditional four seasons. Summer. More Summer. STILL Summer. Under Construction.

Uncle Forty lives where it snows occasionally, so it's to be expected. Here in Tucson, we don't have ANY! And we're not likely to. Last time we had some was about 5 years ago. I was still working, driving a truck in it. We actually got about an inch before noon. By evening, it was gone.

I use one of these. Quick, easy, no bending of the clips. Dump the empties right out.

I know that you know this, but the 2nd does NOT give you the Right, it says that you have the Right, and it's SUPPOSED to make sure that the government cannot TAKE that Right away. But there are places that do.

One should ALWAYS watch their backtrail. And keep a loaded gun ready at all times.

EASY there Rye, I'm not trying to start anything. I'm simply saying that I love Tucson more that I loved Ohio. That, and I don't have any family that I've got any use for, I've not seen most of them since my Dad's funeral in 1996, except my ex-sister who screwed my out of my inheritance. The only friend I have back there can't even be bothered to so much as emule me more than once or twice a year, and NEVER calls me, even though when we were kids, we spent many of our formative years in each other's back pocket. I love the desert weather here. I can deal with 105 degree heat far better than 30 degree cold. I HATE rain and don't care for snow either. Right now, February 19th it's about 61 degrees here, and that's a relatively cool day here. I traveled the world and much of the United States while a Marine, and have survived rainforest, sub-zero, moderate climates, Rain and fog, as well as desert. I like the desert. I'm not saying that Ohio is not a fine place to live, it's just not where I want to live.

I enlisted in the Marines in 1977, (I was home on Leave from Boot Camp when I was arrested). I got out in 1990, which is when I settled in Arizona. I have been back a number of times over the years, but have never seen anything that made me want to go back to stay. I love Arizona, and have no doubt that I'll live out the rest of my days here.

But now there's Rock Paper Lizard Spock, from Sheldon on "Big Bang Theory"

Neither have I, but I have a 625, Model of 1989 that I really like. I've got a dozen Moon Clips for it, (Full Moon from Wilson). I have several loaded with Federal 230gr. Hydro Shoks. Four clips, two to a side, stay in a N Frame Speed Loader pouch.
