Thanks Pale Wolf for all that you do.

Please keep us posted how it goes. Very interesting with the provenance that came with it.

Beautiful work as always. Craftsmanship at its finest.

Good information. I didnt know that. Mine are all newer mfg in 1880's.

Thanks Bulldog. Good to hear from you. I'm trying to plan another trip east to shoot with you guys again. Not sure which match it might be. I'd like to make it to Prince of the Pistoleers but it's the same weekend as the Quigley long range match. So I'll see what may work out best. Hope you are both well and I hope we meet on the trail somewhere soon. Jake

I would be interested to hear about how to repair a scratch like that. Jake

Been through several bouts of Sciatica. I know how painful it can be. Wouldn't wish that on anybody. Take it easy and it should begin to pass as the days go on. Take care of yourself. Jake

Dusty, I'll take it. Will send you a pm. Jake

Tha is for the additional replies. All good info and I will keep them all in mind.

Sorry to hear this. That's always a tough one.

Thanks for all the replies and good info. I do take advantage of camping at the range when possible. Always nice to get to know fellow shooters better when parked close together. Finding a place on the way to and from a match is what concerned me and I will check out all of the suggestions. Thanks again. C'ya down the trail, Jake

When traveling to a match that's more than one days drive, where do you try to find a place to park for the night? Has anybody tried Harvest Hosts overnight campgrounds. I think you have to be a member, though.

Sorry to hear this terrible news. I met Major one time at Chapman Ks. He was very friendly and welcoming. Prayers up for his family and cowboy pards.

These pictures and stories are great. Very enjoyable. Thanks for posting. I'm a new shooter and didn't realize how different things were back then. Those action stages like the Chinese laundry, outhouse, horseback, barber chair, etc. had to be a lot of fun to shoot. Not so much emphasis on time just get through it and have fun doing it. Again, thanks and if you have more please post them.
