  1. Biggest problem with SASS.

    Trying to gane a advantage threw rules and penalties. 

     

    There is No reason to ban the 93 and at some places the Henry 1860 or a gun with sights that will just slow you down to begin with.

     

    People  are running short stroke this and short stroke that with slicked up this and slicked up that.

     

    But they will complain about something someone else is using instead of just playing the game .

     

    Just Sayin.

    They are going to price themselves right out the market though. Crazy how much leverage guns are costing these days. 

    All these kids just found lever guns and pop up company's building Tactical parts for them is what is driving prices so

    Damnd High !

    Looks like the screws were over tightened it is going to be hard to remove the escutcheon with out messing up the grips

    Probably better off putting some epoxy on it and knocking the broken peace back in place .

    Then Don't Over Tighten the screw !

    I have an 1875 Marlin in .32rf in my collection.

    Never used in a sidematch, but have a box of ammo "just in case". 😎

    Wow, here we are going to differ!  I like the Winchester logo on my lever actions, and if it comes with a lot of writing, it doesn’t bother me!!  I have a lot of Winchester made in Japan as well as here and I love them. The only Italian one is the Navy Arms Henry .44-40, because I couldn’t afford the US made Henry, but if they would license to put the Winchester name on theirs, then I would sell the Navy Arms and some other of my firearms to buy one!  But hey that’s me, and nothing against you for wanting an Italian. Pension instead. 

    Unfortunately I once got caught up in that made in America thing .

    I had a beautiful Uberti 1860 Henry with 20 years worth of patina on it shooting black powder .

    She looked like a Original Henry .

    And We all know Uberti build I finly built Henry rifle .

    Everything is machined parts, No mim parts in  the gun.

    But when HRA come out with Made in America Henry Original 1860 for the first run in America in a 150 years .

    I jumped all over it .

    I spent 2000.00 on polished mim turd because it said Henry made in America , 

    Roll printed down the barrel. 

    Yes she is pretty on the out side .

    But a bunch of mim parts on the inside .

    I almost instantly regretted selling my Uberti Henry , 

    I tride to buy it back , even for more money with no luck .

    So believe me you .

    Just because its made in America definitely dont mean its a better quality product. 

    It just means you probably paid to much for it .

    I sure do miss this girl !

    I have several choices, but I normally use a 45-70 Handi rifle with a deep seated 405 grainer over 40 grains BP. There is only one club here that does a Plainsman match, and rifle targets are 80-85 yards. About a year ago, I bought an H&R .45 Colt "Classic Carbine", the relatively unknown third member of the Classic series, but haven't had a chance to take it to a Plainsman match yet.

    I also prefer 45-70 

    I can load light as 200g and as heavy as 600g .

    What more can you ask for .

    45-70  All Day Long !

  7. Definitely a firearm and a lubricant issue and not a ammo issue. 

    I live in Michigan and we get severe cold weather at times.

    Most people way over lube the guns to begin with.
