  1. Thanks. I had a suspicion it would hold 5. I’m going to see what I can figure out!
  2. I know this might be better placed in the WB forum, but I can’t seem to get logged on there. (Not sure why it’s not part of this page!) im looking forward to shooting Teddy Roosevelt category. I have a couple of TR legal rifles. One is an original Win 95 in 30-40 Krag. I bought it several years ago because I just wanted one. Now I can shoot it in a SASS match! my question, in 30-40 Krag does it hold 5 in magazine? I can load 5, hold the stack down and close lever. But when I rack the lever the first round pops out. I’m not sure if it’s just worn, dirty, broken, or only holds 4. Hoping someone here has one and can give me guidance. it’s a great rifle, I enjoy shooting it, but having to load one or 2 over the top every stage is a time killer.
  3. They have to live with it.
  4. Would be tough, but shooter A gets the P+SOG. He admittedly did it to gain time. Shooter B just the P. as a shooter & TO, if I get lost (Or shooter if I’m TOing) once the P is earned I default to a Nevada sweep.
  5. We will have them at Ambush at Gamble Gulch, the 2024 Texas state WB championship. Come on down! I shot TR last Saturday, with Win 95 in 30-40 Krag. Really enjoyed it!
  6. Most Velo dogs are <31 caliber. This one appears to have a swing out cylinder. I have one, folding trigger, unmarked caliber. 32SW won’t fit, I think it is 7mm. Mine does not have swing out cylinder. but a neat collectible!
  7. Tha Kid is sneaking up on me!
  8. The Henry Big Boy not legal in Classic Cowboy. I’ve seen a few HBBs at SASS matches. They just don’t work well. 99% of shooters will want to go fast. You just can’t with a HBB. Last one I saw at a match shooter tried to go fast. It jammed. He had lever open, trying to shake cartridge out of gun. Springs & screws started falling out. He finished the match with a borrowed rifle! Never saw the HBB again. if you have a HBB by all means shoot it. But don’t go buy one.

    MDQ at club level

    I can go you one worse….. autographed table. Then a “Pard” took the blanket that had the hole in it, had a poncho made out of it and presented it to me at next match. Complete with bullet hole

    MDQ at club level

    I believe that is correct.
  11. First, I know what the rules say. And I’m talking about a monthly club match, not an annual. What I’m trying to find out is what your club does in this instance. obviously belligerent attitude, fighting, under influence etc are pack your gear. But suppose shooter has a MDQ, dropped gun, 2 SDQs, maybe shoots a prop/table, maybe had a round of steel shot snuck in his ammo box etc. he is not being reckless, just had some bad happening. Do you allow him to continue to shoot for no score, with the MDQ recorded, or does he have to stop shooting? I can see & have seen it argued both ways. Does your club allow MD or PM make a call to allow shooter to continue with no score? biggest issue I see at a club level is consistency from posse to posse, match to match. FWIW I’m in the pack your guns and help with posse chores. I’ve had MDQs, offered to be allowed to continue shooting but did not.
  12. What size? I have a pair of size 14 EE Brown boots. Handmade. Paid over $400, they just don’t suit my feet. Would take $200 plus shipping. if interested send me your txt or email and I’ll send pics and more details.
  13. Prayers up. I was thinking of him just the other day. Havnt seen him in years.
  14. Harbor freight sells a mini chop saw that works well to cut down 45-70 brass. A guy 3D printed a jig for me to use. Cut them down, use a deburring tool and good to go.
  15. Total scammer. Always has just what you want. I was talking to him about a rifle. he wanted to be paid via PayPal. Then he would ship rifle. I told him ship rifle, I would pay on receipt. He said ok, but I would need to pay shipping upfront. I guess he figured if he couldn’t have the whole dog he would take the tail! he is pretty smooth, has an answer for everything
  16. None better than Jimmy Spurs.
  17. This past weekend I wet tumbled about 600 38sp cases in a Frankfort Arsenal tumbler. Used brass cleaner, water. (No pins). Cases came out shining like a diamond in a goats behind! As I was drying them I found 3 loaded rounds that had been washed. 1 was APP, other 2 Bullseye powder. I wondered if they would fire. All 3 went bang, I could not tell any difference! I really thought that the tumbling in water for 2 hours would have gotten a drop or 2 of water in the case, but apparently no. would I Intentionally wash & use loaded rounds? No, but this very small sample says it’s nothing to worry about if your ammo gets wet!
  18. Never saw one with a chain drive. Was always transmission/rear end from old truck, belt drive. Put it in 2nd and make them trot! Or…. Put a kid in an upside down halter, were they are sitting on the strap that goes over horses head, the big ring is at back of kids neck. Snap it to Walker, put it in 4th gear, and it’s a better ride than you can get at the county fair!
  19. I have a hard tonneau cover on my truck. Currently carry my guns in cases in the bed, can’t be seen. I hung a <$20 motion alarm on the bed topper. If someone opens it it will go off. I prefer hotels where I can park by my room door, I would hear the alarm. I also put an AirTag in the truck,if stole the whole truck I could find it.

    Hey, I was happy with the notoriety! The primers were a bonus! and you are correct, for those that made ugly comments, I would have to value their opinion for it to matter to me!

    I know some folks have made disparaging remarks. I know who I am. My friends look past the physical and like me for who I am.

    Viral video

    A year ago today Abilene videoed me on a stage and posted it on his YouTube channel. It took off, and in a year has had 248M views! It’s been kinda fun, I’ve had strangers stop me and ask if it was me! Abilene says it’s the most viewed CAS stage ever! As memory serves, time was 19.11 and clean! Certainly one of my better stages.
