What is your favorite rifle to shoot and your backup ?
Do you have the same rifle as your backup or something different ?
When I started SASS I started with the Rossi 92 .
I had zero complaints with the 92 .
And there was no way I was going to ever out run it .
For my first 8 years I shot smokeless powder .
Then I took a ride on the dark side .
And we all know once you go black you never go back .
I have owned a few Marlin's and a few 92s but I never shot or had a 66 or 73 .
But I used a friend's 66 and fell in love with the 66 for black powder shooting only .
I loved my 92 but it was kinda painful cleaning up the 92 with BP.
Then I bought a Henry 1860 and had a lot of fun shooting that with BP and Cap Guns .
I wanted to try something new every few years just for the fun and challenge of something new .
Then I bought a 73 and it was fun to run and easier to clean even more easer then the 66 .
I ended up buying a Henry Big Boy just because I wanted one .
I loved my 66 and I loved the Brass look of the Henry .
I heard all the stories about how bad of a rifle it was for SASS .
And I took a box stock Henry 44 Big Boy brand bew in the box to a local shoot , Just to see for myself and to say I did it .
I shot a clean game that day , With a stock out of the box Henry 44 Big Boy with Black Powder .
With Zero jams or issues.
I did not ever use the Henry Big Boy again because wow it's a heavy rifle .
I have tried just about everything once or twice over the years .
I have settled on the 66 in 44 special with the 73 in 44 special as my backup rifle shooting BP.
I use my 92 with a Marlin 94 as a backup when I shoot smokeless.
I am blessed to be-able to own and shoot many different guns and styles.
The 92 and the 66 are my favorite go to rifles .
What's yours ?

I was just scammed for $710 last month with all contact done over the SASS Wire. Everyone on the wire is not who they claim to be. Be safe out there. The SASS wire community is not as innocent as it used to be.
If you got ripped off by someone who is actually a member of SASS .
You should call them out by name on the SASS Wire and With SASS itself !

Wonder why my post was deleted this time ?
Seems to happen a lot with Zero explanations !
It's nothing more then a Rossi 92
With different marketing.

If you tell people to contact you threw the SASS Wire so you can know if it's really them or not .
They can't fake there profile here on the Wire !

I have several 2nd Gen Colts .
But honestly if your looking gor shooters .
The Uberti or Pietta is a much better gun with better rifling twist and build quality.
The 2nd Gens just look nicer on the out side and Say Colt on them .
But I have Several I could be talked out of for a price .

The 73s were less popular then Marlins until the development of being able to reliably short stroke the 73s through either cut and weld or redesigned toggle links.
I know .
I shot a 92 for many years over the Marlin.
I still consider the 92 as one of the best lever action rifles ever made .

My cousin had a 9 mm carbine rifle.
He took a hacksaw and cut the stock in half because he thought it would look cool as a pistol.
He wrote a email to High Point and told them what he did, They mailed him a new stock.
No charge !

Ballastal was for cleaning guns .

They call it a 1873 Colt Clone.
It should be called a 2010 Ruger Vaquero Clone
But they look just fine to me .
I have had very good Taurus Revolvers over the years .
Much better then the plastic fantastic they have been putting out !

If you take your Marlin of any vintage .
And you put it in a rifle holder of your favorite type .
Take a Brass punch and knock out the rear sight from Left to Right .
Too not damage the dovetail or the sight itself.
Remove the Marlin from the holder and turn it over and cycle the action 14 times upside down .
Then 14 times on its left side .
14 more times on its right side .
This is all done with No Ammo in the firearm.
This is the smoothest a Marlin will ever feel .
Then you put it back in the safe for that rainy day of shooting .
Pull out your Winchester 73 .
And go shooting with the best functioning rifle of all time

At least the French helped is in the war for independence, where we fought against the British.
Nothing wrong with the French .
They had a lot of unfired rifles only dropped once sold on the American market

Smith&Wesson No. 3 revolvers are Beautiful and a lot of fun to play with .
If I'm reading this info correctly.
There is No parts available for these guns when they go down ?
Why is that ?
I mean they still make and sell them .
Why can you not get parts for them ?

I have been told over the years about Uberti making a small run of Henry rifles in 44 special .
I have wanted on for years .
I found one , One time in Australia for sale on line .
I was willing to pay him his asking price for it .
But it was going to cost twice that amount to get it shipped threw Customs.
And if for any reason they did not like anything about the packaging or the product I would loose the gun in Customs .
And I was not willing to take that big of chance.
But I'm still looking for that Unicorn !
