I need to pass, certain brands don't chamber. JFN

Second dibs.

Do you have the flat floor plates for the 10 rd mags? Factory night sights? JFN

I carried an LCP everyday for 5 years, until I bought this model. It's now my everyday pistol. I use the 10 round mag in a kydex holster. Looks like a billfold in my pocket. I wouldn't leave home without it. JFN

There was a time when nobody reloaded this because Mil-surplus ammo was so cheap. But we all saved our brass. That’s what I’m looking for, someone who saved brass, who will never reload it and will make me a good deal.

Moses, I'm in New Mexico. I shot my second Practical Competition Shooting League today (PCSLeague.us) at Legacy Ranch, formally Founders Ranch. (That brings back memories.) Of course they were all young guys with their wonder guns and optics. I shot my Wild Bunch rig, a 1911 and a M1 carbine, like you would in Historic-3-Gun. I had a blast, for an old guy. They don't pick up brass. I recovered some of mine but with all the brass on the ground it is basically a lost brass match. At 60 to 80 rounds a match I:ll go through a lot of brass. So, tell me what you have got. JFN

Looking to see if anyone has a stash of M1 .30 Carbine brass. I had a bunch until I started shooting it again, now I'm looking for more. So dig deep in your reloading room to see if you have a coffee can or two needing to be liberated from the darkness. JFN

The Single Six 32's are fun to shoot. You probably know this but I will say it anyway, they come with funky grip frames. Some are bird's head, some are black hawk and some are short black hawk. The last run from Ruger had aluminum black hawk (XR3) frames. I replaced the grip frames on the two pair I own with New Vaquero grip frames from Brownells. For me that is the perfect combination. Good Luck, JFN

Here is a question for you 45 Colt Pedersoli Lightning owners. The Lightning is notorious for blowback in 45 Colt. Since I shoot 45 Schofield in my Marlins, I tried it in a couple AWA Lightnings. One I owned and one we just tried it on to check the blow back. Both of the rifles cycled the shorter round perfectly with no blowback. Has anyone here shot 45 Schofield rounds through their Pedersoli Lightning? Will a Pedersoli cycle the shorter rounds? JFN

Are the grips on the ruger single sixes steel or aluminum?

I'll take them.

200 grain loaded to a 170 pf. I no longer notice the blowback. The wife started shooting it and she has never even mentioned the blowback. I'm not going to point it out to her either.

I have bought from Gander Mountain and the web receipt for 5 cases was accepted. I open the case and cut the USPC code from each box and put it back in the box hole up. Took me 15-20 minutes last year to cut them off of 5 cases. Gives me a years supply of shot shells. I buy them from cowboy shooters supply. They charge $85 delivered to EoT. If they don't have them I be ordering from Rogers. I would have gotten some more if I could have found them when they had the rebate for a week after Thanksgiving.

At one time I thought the same thing but after shooting both for several years I now disagree. The WB at WR is more like a Cowboy match. The round round is much lower (20-10-6) and the targets are bigger and closer. This makes for fast stages and fast times. By contrast EoT will have 25 to 30 pistol each stage and the targets will be further out and smaller. The difference is like comparing 100 yard dash to a 1 mile race. Each take different strategies and both are fun and I enjoy shooting both. In order to make EoT a two day ten stage match you would have to write stages like WR. So both matches would become alike and you get boring. Instead of ruining a challenging match, why aren't you complaining about the two days between the WB match and the CAS match? Many state matches wrap up WB one day and start CAS the next. So why does WB at EoT end on Monday and CAS start on Thursday? If you want to campaign for a shorter EoT, work on those two days.

Well said +++++++

There is no SASS fee for our club. You must be a SASS member to shoot with us on a long term basis. (Newbies get a grace period.) Last year I sent in a list of members, their alias and SASS number. Since we are 100% SASS members, there was no charge to the club to be affiliated with SASS. So, basically the club members that are too cheap to pay their dues to SASS cause the clubs to pay a fee for them. I don't think I want to shoot with people who are like that. JFN

My last two orders were just like that. Perfect length, no case prep, just feed them in the 550 and load them.

"Pinch" the rifle with your thumb and index finger in front of the forearm. Allows you to push the rifle with a lot off pressure into your shoulder, just saying.

Three guns? Probably written for Wild Bunch shooters.
