  2. These are a G-10/Micarta material.  They will need finished.  The locating pin hole has not been drilled and the upper angle slot on the back side would need minor clearancing.  Obviously final shaping/sanding/polishing as you desire.  They would make excellent, virtually indestructible grips.  The last picture shows the amount of rounding required on a stock Ruger Bisley grip frame, the black line and all above would need to be removed.  Round butting grip frames is SASS legal.  Selling as 2 pair (2 guns, 4 grip panels) only.  $100 shipped.  Paypal friends and family or personal checks only please.  First I'll take it posted here gets it.  Thanks.

    So be it.
     

    I know there are a lot of FFLs in the liberal areas that make it very hard on folks but the flip side is there many FFLs in the other half of the state that will do just as you mentioned in the post above “accept from a private party with a copy of drivers license” and I have in fact bought a few firearms here on this forum by that method. I was just curious because so many people believe the exaggeration about “ALL of California”. Yes, our government here IS communist, yes there are a boatload of idiots & nuts, BUT there is also a tremendous amount of conservatives here and OUR FFLs tend to work with people instead of against us. If you have had bad experiences trying to sell to someone in Kalifornia before then I don’t blame you for believing what you do. 
     

    Again, not trying cause you any grief, we here on the forum are all brothers & sisters. Good luck with your sale and that is one fine handgun at a very good price !

    I was under the impression(perhaps incorrectly) ALL firearms coming in to Cali had to have the state "approval number"(probably wrong nomenclature), supplied by the receiving FFL or applied for each time by the sender(I forget, but it WAS A PAIN).  Maybe that has changed?  Sorry for the continued hijack, but free BTT for an awesome gun!

  4. A project for the do it yourselfer, that wants Stainless mag tubes, and is willing/able to do a little finish/fitting work.  These are 2 pieces I have left over from when I used to make SS mag tubes for 73's.  They are threaded for the stock magazine cap and work with factory followers(or SS ones that mimic factory dimensions).  They are not cut to length, but are long enough to do 20" guns or shorter and in addition to needing cut to length, will need the cross pin slot(pin in the mag hanger) added to fit your gun.  This tubing is what I could source back in the day(no longer available) and is slightly undersized for factory mag hangers, running .627-.630" and will likely need shimmed in the hanger, or the carbine band may be able to be tightened up enough(or may need modified as well) in that style of gun.  To be clear, it's not a perfect external diameter fit.  I'm selling them together, as one has a "dent"(circled in the pic, but practically invisible from the outside) that will not allow a follower to slide through internally and would need pressed open, or the follower modified.  It's not a kink dent, more of a slight depression, but will need something done to make it usable.  The material polishes up nicely if you want a full mirror shine, or scotchbrite will add a nice brushed look.  I ran them in my gun for 15 years or so, up until my recent carbon fiber project , and it holds up excellent.  Selling both for $75 $55 shipped.  First I'll take it posted here gets it.  Paypal friends and family or snail mail a check.  Thanks.

  5. I just unloaded mine before we went on base, put it in an "inaccessible while driving" place, and went about my tourist duties.

     

    Its an awesome place to visit. I highly recommend spending the money to "fly" the simulator, barrels rolls, loops, it's a hoot! I'd go back just for that! We never made the second building....lots to see.

  6. There is a lot of painting being done here with a broad brush and that always get's annoying and could turn a prospective BP shooter away.(whether the OP or someone else reading) The OP left the survey kind of open, asking only which hardness is preferred, setting no other qualifications. I took/take that to assume a typical 5 or 6 stage match. Also assuming that they probably already reload their ammo. For the "non-enthusiast" BP shooter, someone looking to "dip their toe in", perfectly acceptable results can be found easier than casting up or hunting up a supplier that makes soft bullets. He also didn't specify that he's loading for an odd throated/chambered/bored relic. Hardcast bullets, that he already has, with subs, can most likely be loaded on his existing tooling with virtually no changes. For BP (and pushing the easy button), a lube wad can be added. This isn't a Bullseye game. The guns need to run for 5 or 6 stages and hit large, close steel. Our prospective shooter may want to indulge in chasing lube rings/stars at the muzzle and shooting a 2 or 3 day match with no/minimal cleaning, but that isn't necessary to compete successfully with BP/subs. Nothing wrong with the nostalgia of "that's the way they did back when" or loading for guns that may need special care or for the guy that likes sitting in front of the lead pot, but it's not necessary for most CAS competitions and I've been competing in CAS with BP since the early 90's.

  7. Hard. Whatever commercial bullet in the weight I'm looking for. But I only shoot full case BP loads with a lube wad and in Rugers with the throats properly sized to the caliber. IMO, there's more to the discussion than just the hardness of the bullet when loading BP(or subs).
