There is a reason the Ruger Vaquero is the most popular revolver in SASS. Your only decisions are grip style - Birdhead, plow handle, or Bisley and Stainless or blue.

Call Lee Shaver. He answers his own phone!

I had a set exactly like that when I was a kid. Had a BB gun and a SS 22 rifle on them in my bedroom! To be clear, it was mid 60s!! (not 50s)

I would disagree on being able to tell exactly what target was missed, especially on a round count stage. If I see dirt fly, a tree hit etc and there is no visible or likely (or possible) edger it’s gonna be a miss. I will give shooter every benefit of the doubt, but no doubt = no benefit! i generally can tell you which target was missed, but not always. I would agree that spotter should be able to say rifle or pistol miss

I used to use the oven. But my wife fussed about it. I bought one of these. happy wife = happy life! https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020626313?pid=758312

I shootem in my pistols. They don’t care!

For the OP question: you would not have to declare a malfunction if you put in 6th round and shot it. Hammer would be down on fired case. I suppose you could call it broke gun and lay it down if you wanted to. if you did not load and fire the 6th round you definitely should call broke gun and lay it down, because if the dud round is under hammer you’ve earned a SDQ. It’s very easy to lose track of where the dud round is when doing a ho-around.

If I can work out the logistics I’d like the 5744. Maybe I can find a Pard near you that’s going to Texas state match at Plum Creek??? pm sent

Gunfighters don’t get special instructions or dispensation. They have to shoot scenario same as everyone else. As a 2 handed shooter I’d shoot it 1st pistol 3 4 5 5 5 2bs pistol 1 2 3 3 3 a M cannot cause a P. I’ve never seen instructions that require hit.

Don’t let Moose’s low post count worry you. He is a pard of mine, good guy. His word is good.

Last week at Comancheria Days we were talking about Aliases. Sweat Pea said her grandmother always called her that so that’s where she got it from. I mentioned I had Thoght it was from the Tommy Roe song. She said no, but if we had “walk up music” like baseball that would be her song. mine would obviously be the theme song from Bonanza. What’s yours?

I’m ok without a printed copy. I’ve tried to read thru them before match, ysuslmy just get more confused. Probably 90% if the time I lose them before match is over. But I know a lot of folks use and enjoy them.

It must confirm to your body shape. No angling shells out. A friend had such a belt, it definitely tipped shells out and was not legal. It was pointed out to the shooter, after reading rules and some discussion with RO instructors shooter agreed that it was not sass legal and stopped wearing it.

Recently acquired a Ubert-Win 1885 HiWall in 40-65. Previous owner bought it as 45-70, had it re-barreled. The barrel is in excellent condition, no sights. Asking $250 plus the ride. First “I’ll take it” gets it. Would also consider most anything in trade. if you need more pics/info please let me know. as with anything I sell on here, if you are not 100% completely satisfied I will gladly refund your money, less shipping.

I have same rifle. No issues with cut down 45-70 cases. I use a mini chop saw I got at harbor freight. Pretty simple. fun rifle to shoot. I shoot a 305 grn Bear Creek bullet with 12.0 Unique orca full case of APP.

They are out and no back orders

Still looking!

Price?

Looks like I’ll be acquiring a 40-65 HiWall. I’m going to need dies & brass. (I know I can form brass out of 45-70 but would prefer not to) whatchu got?

That Ithaca is a fine old shotgun. I inherited a Nitro Special that I passed into my son. Very similar but steel barrels (not Damascus) the huge lug between the barrels is great for lockup, but not easy to quickly reload.

Aboard us considering a Yildiz sxs. Asked me if I knew anything about them (I don’t) but figured I check with y’all, see if anyone had tried one he currently has a Stoeger and a sharptail that he does not like. I’ve suggested SKB, he’s not squire ready to drop the coin for one. opinions?

A friend had one. A part broke (sear as I recall) no replacement parts available. Fortunately the smith he bought it from was able to replace it, and is hoping to be able to get one eventually. there are basically no aftermarket parts available for them. (Anecdotally, as I don’t have one but that’s what I’ve heard)

I have 3 38-55s. A HiWall , a Uberti-Win 94 and a Marlin. i shoot long brass in hiwall. 10.0 Unique with a 260 grn bullet. Absolute tack driver. short brass in lever guns. The Marlin 336 has a very tight bore. Bullets that won’t chamber in Marlin go fine in Win 94. I had a custom chamber checker made. In lever guns I shoot 9.6 grns unique with a 245-255 cast bullet. 38-55 is a great caliber. Just takes tuning to your gun.

I use a similar load. 10.0 Unique. No toilet paper tho. I’ve never found Unique to be position sensitive.

Moe, if you will PM me your email address I’ll PayPal a donation. (Or Venmo, or can snail mail a check) just let me know what works. and I’ll add this family to my prayer list.
