Looking For Barrel For 1887
Fireball #7709 Life replied to Rube Burrows's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
Unfortunately, this ^ is true. Barrel work needs a lathe, the barrel shoulder would need cut to index properly at the very least anyway, and in the case of the 87, a mill as well to cut extractor clearance. Since that is gunsmith territory for most folks, having your gunsmith source and thread a blank to work, isn't much extra work. Most people get a quote and decide they can live with what they have.LOL -
Thanks for the feedback. I don't expect to be completely "under the radar", too many public records and I'm not a tech hermit.LOL

I don't have my email on my profile. I've searched my name a couple different ways and the only way my email shows up that I can find, is on the TG Wire, from Rubys listing of all the TG's. Can non-TG's see that? I ask, because I posted an I'll take it on a listing and received the email below. BEFORE the PM I sent (with my email address) was opened. The grammar was flagging me, so I sat on replying and shortly after the real seller contacted me. This one baffles me a bit.

Taurus Thunderbolt?
Fireball #7709 Life replied to Father Kit Cool Gun Garth's topic in SASS Wire F.A.Q.
My father had one in 45 Colt that I ran some rounds through without issue. Full length, 200 gr RNFP's ran fine. I briefly toyed with the idea of shooting a lever shotgun(87) and a pump rifle, just to be different. The short, close to the chest action of the pump was something that didn't seem like it would ever feel "natural" though, so in a rare moment of clarity and good judgment, I passed on that notion. -
All Sold Build yer own Ruger Bisley
Fireball #7709 Life replied to Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
If that's $100 shipped for the stag grips, I'll take them. Sending PM. -
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.

BP pistol caliber bullet survey
Fireball #7709 Life replied to Nawlins Kid SASS #36107's topic in SASS Wire
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. -

BP pistol caliber bullet survey
Fireball #7709 Life replied to Nawlins Kid SASS #36107's topic in SASS Wire
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). -

SOLD PENDING FUNDS. This is also from my Dad's accumulation. Blued Taurus Thunderbolt in 45 Colt with a 26" barrel. It was new in the box until I just ran several full magazines through it.(I haven't found any paperwork, if it came with any) These guns are notorious for not running right, so I wanted to see before I listed it. It ran my 200 RNFP smokeless CAS load without issue, as fast or slow as I wanted to go until I was bored with it.(I'm not a pump shooter) Price(s) are shipped to your FFL, first I'll take it posted to the thread get's it. All trade offers considered, but please, PM me an actual offer, i.e. "I'll trade you X and this much boot money for X". I'm not looking for anything special right now, but you never know. Thanks for looking.
