  1. How did they contact you? Was it through e-mail or Private Message? If it was e-mail, how did they get your address? (Oh! I see your e-mail address under "contact methods", you may want to change that). Can you post the email address they sent from? I'm asking because I will be putting some items up for sale soon. CK
  2. Ok, thank you. Pass this one on to Splitthumb. I sure didn't realize that it was only one and not a pair. (I gotta learn to read proper-like one o' these days.) I'll order me a pair.
  3. Hi, Is this the size for the 45 or for the 357? (If it's for the 45, I'll take it) CK
  4. I'm not selling mine, but it was short-stroked by Spur and then worked over further by Slick. Neither sent me any special paperwork, just the rifle. So folks might not have any paperwork to show you.
  5. Howdy, hope you had a great Christmas. I'm just curious, was it a new rifle, or was it sold as a used rifle? I got one also, but it was a used rifle in good condition, at a good price. But, since it was used, I let my gunsmith look it over before I used it. He had it for a few days, went through it, and test-fired it. He said it was not a stock "Comanchero", someone had previously replaced the lever and used a Pioneer Super Short Stroke Kit, Slix Springs, magazine sleeve, and other stuff that I don't remember. So far it's been a good purchase for me.
  6. He can only issue these "proclamations" as they apply to Federal or D.C. law. And, only as they pertain to simple possession or use. The proclamation does not include pardons for offenses such as possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, or driving offenses committed while under the influence of marijuana. The pardon Biden issued does not apply to state convictions. Law enforcement experts say that this won't affect much, since D.C. doesn't arrest or prosecute for simple possession. "Driving under the Influence" or performing a critical duty while under the influence, will still be offenses that can carry time and fines.
  7. I'm on the outside looking in. So I don't have a dog in this fight. I've only shot Wild Bunch locally a couple of times. Since I don't have a .45 rifle, they kindly let me use what I have, which is a .38 Marlin. I load to published data mid-point. That seems to work well in all my cowboy guns. I'm not understanding what the fuss is about. My .38 certainly didn't give me any advantage. Heck, the guys shooting their "big bore" rifles were just as blazing fast as they are in cowboy matches. I have a '97 that I rarely shoot, but it was fun to stoke it fully. However, I found out that the edges underneath, where you load the shells, are sharp enough to draw blood. I'll need to stone those edges! I shot Senior Modern and had fun. I guess I'm not experienced enough to see what the problem is. Does a .38 automatically give someone an advantage over someone shooting a larger caliber? I don't see those other shooters having to deal with much recoil. It's a pistol-caliber cartridge they're shooting after all. I saw that video of Smokestack, (I've never met him), shooting .44-40s, 10 in less time than I can get off 3. Aurgh! I've written more words here than I usually speak before my 2nd cup of coffee. I'm just not seeing what the hubbub is about. Shouldn't folks be seeing how the match goes before casting judgment? Are that many people going to show up at the World Championship, with their .38, thinking that will give them the edge to outrun the masters who normally blow the doors off the rest of the field? My last thoughts are that dedicated WB shooters ought to be doing everything they can to participate and urge others to come along, showing SASS that it is worthwhile continuing to support WBAS. Turning your back on it boycotting the game because there has been a rule change, and lowering participation numbers, might indeed show SASS that there is no point in continuing to support WBAS. Goom! I need more coffee.
