Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator

Yea, I want to know who the 10 CBFCD are. Glad to see attendance numbers go up so quickly. Land Run, the best in all aspects of our sport. World class with National title.

Don't be talking about hats now. MM has a very nice, OK maybe sketchy , hat. Not near as attractive (sketchy?) as mine of course. Note: At TSRA End-of-year Old Fort Parker match I announced encouragement to shooters headed out to EOT early to give you notice they want to shoot Tumbleweed. Hope your phone is ringing with more "we're coming" messages.

yes. and got a e-mail in just a minute or so showing my details and receipt of transaction. On my end it was extremely smooth and easy. At startup of registration we were on the road coming from the TSRA match at Old Fort Parker. Time of my registration was just after 1 PM.

Will certainly miss you Randy. Look forward to seeing you Snakebite. Been a long while.

Understand. See ya at OKC if not before.

I find cleaning BP residue from under extractor and on spring after several matches can help steer away from possible hick-ups later. I have Snake Oil George's one-piece firing pin and extractor system in mine,. but need is still a good one in any 73 at some point, especially if shooting black. The modification to allow hammer to travel back far enough to slide firing pin assembly out is a handy mod. I like Sgt Eli's cut on bolt also. SOG does similar cut. So much to be said for Cody's Codymatics. I shot my share of them thru the years and sold them when in firearms business. Many argue that method is a bit obsolete but there is still much good to say about the smoothness of the CAW. I eventually changed to get on the "new thing" bandwagon. Now shooting C&I 5th gens. Stroke is shorter but not sure I would say the 5th gen any smoother than some of my early Codymatics. I still often wonder if I am any faster with the shorter stroke where I find more resistance in throw versus the smoothness I had in Codymatics. Incidentally, the Codymatic I would have Cody built me, and thus call the Billy Boots Model, started as 24 inch pistol grip then shortened to 19" (before the 20" barrels were readily available), muzzle was smooth rounded to inside, then most other little mods Cody had in his "bag of tricks". There was a theory at the time that the rounded muzzle dispersed BP smoke better and more like smoke-ring. Not sure that theory was to valid but mod makes good conversation for sure.

Will miss you. See you down the road though.

Sure in my and Sassy's plans ....even if Phantom is going to be there. Also plan to shoot Tumbleweed match at Tombstone on the way out.

Have gunsmith fix that for you. No big chore for someone who knows trick.

Jig and punch as mentioned above certainly is helpful. Scarlet has them.

Time to BUMP for this excellent match.

Come on down to Tumbleweed match, he and Bob will see that they are not as close.

Get all this done before Tumbleweed match and Sassy and I will plan to see you there. Hopefully with better eyesight and maybe no change in accent, Mate. I will expect jelly at Livery.

if you still have them by Tumbleweed match, bring them, I have interest, bb

NO THRILLS????? Always thrills and fun at match. And even more on Allen Street (favorites such as Big Nose Kates, Doc Holiday's, Crystal Palace, and Four Deuces). We're in for sure.
