Fireball #7709 Life

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.

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.

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.

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).

Around $500, depending on condition and whether or not its been messed with.

Looking for a shooter, new or used, reasonably priced. Please PM with your asking price. Thanks!

Never thought I'd see "beautiful" and "Handi Rifle" in the same sentence, this one truly is, nice work Mi amigo!!

Way to go Kaya!!

Thanks FH, PM replied too.

LOL. No matter how much I proof read, someone always finds something! Thanks, I'll correct it.

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.

Thanks for looking.

Ok. Thanks.

Your inbox is full Willi. I'm interested, do you know who made them? They are Sambar stag? Do you have any other pics, closer, the backsides, etc.? Thanks, Fb

Did they do this with the "regular" grip frame? I know they did some in Bisley configuration and I've been looking for one ever since, all I find are the 44's. They make/made a lot of variations, so it wouldn't surprise me.

That could be...interesting...

Beautiful grips, who made them? I've been looking for someone to make some for the Bisley grip frame.
