Thanks Alpo for the heads up. They came through just fine. Ordered on a Monday and the FedEx package arrived the following Monday. That’s quick enough for me. And $250 for 5,000 primers is not bad. Almost like ten years ago. regards, Capt’n Rudy

Received the 94 Rifle and could not be more pleased. T-Bone Pickins was most pleasant to deal with and accurately described the rifle. A very smooth transaction. Just got back from shooting the 94 and it shoots quite fine. Thank you T-Bone Pickins. regards, Capt’n Rudy

I’ll take it IAW our PMs, Even though the Golden Retriever is not included. thanks, Capt’n Rudy

Hey Hoss Shoer, yes, the correct top punches will be included. Please check your PM for payment instructions. Thanks, Rudy

Two items sold as stated by the buyers above. When a buyer says “I’ll take item #____” then the item is considered sold, and we then communicate via PM. Please don’t just send only a PM, cause that doesn’t keep everyone informed. Thanks, Capt’n Rudy

This Vaquero dates from 1997 and has not seen much use. It has the shorter 4.62” barrel. I’ve owned it for two years and it was a backup gun to my 357 Vaqueros and I only shot it a few times. It has not been slicked up, to my knowledge, except for maybe lighter springs. I just bought a Blackhawk Bisley 7.5” in order to shoot Josey Wales and so this handgun is no longer needed. Price is $650 and I’ll split the shipping charges from my FFL to your FFL. Thanks for looking, Capt’n Rudy

Just bought one on Gunbroker. Now I have two. Already own one in 45LC and want a second one for Josey Wales. Please send me a PM if you have one you can part with for a reasonable price. I will only consider buying from a well-known Cowboy or Cowgirl in very good standing. (Hint: scammers need not apply.) thanks, Capt’n Rudy

Kindly add a photo of the scratch on the bell end. Thanks.

No longer for sale. These two molds are excess to my needs because I only shoot smokeless, and these are designed for BP (unless I’m mistaken). I much prefer the RCBS 300gr pushed with IMR 4759. It appears that both molds have been discontinued by RCBS. Asking $75 each plus shipping. I’ll have them at The Last Stand match in Gainesville FL this weekend. Thanks for looking, Capt’n Rudy, USCG retired

I’ll take it, IAW our PMs. Thanks, Capt’n Rudy

Well, even as careful as I think I am, I got scammed last week, and even sent a $65 check in the mail. Here’s how it went down. I said “I’ll take it and sending a PM” for the RCBS Prep station for sale by Fireball. Sent a PM to Fireball with my cell number and asked where to send payment. Within an hour got a text from the scammer saying “ This is Fireball and what’s your shipping address cause the RCBS Prep station is all packaged up. “. The scammer then asked for payment via Zelle, which I didn’t do. I finally got his name and address to send the check, which I did the next morning. Then two days later the real Fireball texted me asking for payment. We talked by phone and I issued a stop payment with my bank (only good for six months). End of the story is I googled the address where I sent the check and it’s a halfway house in Grand Rapids. I called the organization and a Vice president had the mail room catch the check and send it back to me. And they are dealing with their resident on his scamming activity. Some Lessons learned, which I employed this week on another transaction. Rely on PM communications, not texts or emails. PM the seller and ask for his address, and also to text you a picture of his/her drivers license (since you can’t send photo in a PM), and compare info. Google the DL address Talk with the seller on the phone to gauge reality. Use info you gathered from the satellite images of the address. Contact the home club that’s listed on the seller’s SASS profile to make sure the cowboy/cowgirl seller still exists, (and is not in a memory-care facility, for example) If in doubt, don’t send money! And finally, asked the moderator to search and remove my cell number if used in the past, and we found one from 2019. the scammers are very resourceful and so we must be extra vigilant. Any others ideas to help us all stay safe? Regards, Capt’n Rudy

Scale goes to Kodiak Jack. Just sent you a PM. now it’s your turn to post something for free.

Free RCBS scale and powder trickle. Came from an estate sale and is a leftover. Needs a new home. Appears to be missing the powder dish since the scale will not balance without almost 130 grains. Picture shows three 55gr FMJ 223’s. Also comes with a powder trickle. Free to the first interested, for the $17 cost of postage in a priority mail Med FRB. If I can mail it cheaper I’ll refund the overage. And remember to post something for free, and continue to pay it forward. Regards from Florida, Capt’n Rudy, USCG retired
