  1. If that’s true that she actually had live ammo on the set and actually loaded it into the gun then it’s beyond incompetent it’s murder at that point, she is a “trained” professional and that’s not a mistake, the problem is I find it interesting that a trained armorer can’t tell the difference between a live and dummy round “ speaking as a US Army small arms repairman who had handled thousands “ they don’t feel the same and usually look different. I guess I just smell a rat, things don’t add up somehow
  2. Again you miss the point completely, someone mixed one or more real bullets into the group that went in to that gun, why in the he*l would either of the two people on trial risk everything they have to do that. They wouldn’t, Yes they are both guilty of being stupid and careless but I’m sure neither one mixed in a live round …… but some one did. …. And walked away while everyone else is pointing fingers at the two easiest people to blame, any detective worth a sh*t is thanking his lucky stars he dident get stuck with this case
  3. Actors are like sports stars, I never even once in my life NEEDED either of them, there just there for entertainment
  4. So my question is this, who is really the bad guy here, I’m pretty dam sure Baldwin dident knowingly put a live round in that gun, yea he is responsible he dident check his weapon, I am equally sure Gutierrez Reed dident put a live round in that mix because she sure as hell knows what would of happened if a live round ever went off but she dident check the gun either. But she knows she would never work on a set again ever. So someone managed to get a live round into that mix somehow and has walked away and NO ONE is even looking for them. Think about it people the two folks with the most to loose are not going to do something as dumb as ruining their whole lives on purpose. There is a very guilty person out there either smiling for some sick reason or cleaning the sh*t out of their pants because no one is smart enough to be looking for them
  5. Last time I took them to bulduc metals in Montpelier
  6. Scrap yards here in VT pay good money for brass cases but nothing for spent primers and they never say a thing about depriming them
  7. I handled one at a gun show recently, it was out of the box and stiff but that’s no surprise. It pointed and shouldered well, it was completely Matt finish so no glare to wood or metal, opened pretty wide and triggers were ok for a SASS shotgun, probably with a little work it would make a decent SASS gun but only time and shooting will tell if it will hold up and not shoot loose
  8. If you take a look at a revolver that has been shot a lot ( esp a high power revolver) you often notice the top strap right above the mouth of the barrel will actually look like it’s been partially cut. Well it has and that caused by VERY hot high velocity gas escaping between the mouth of the barrel and the cylinder face. You DO NOT want your hand blocking that gas, ( it cuts steel imagine what it will do to your hand )most revolvers are capable of causing severe burns or gas cutting of soft flesh even at cowboy velocity. Anyone interested enough to put a silencer on a gun with a gap between the chamber and the barrel probably needs to learn that lesson because there going to have a serious sound leak
  9. I hope they hold their hand tight around the cylinder gap so they get a good seal when they pull the trigger
  10. I don’t mind self check out as long as they realize the quality of my work depends on how much they are paying me per hour !
  11. I live in Vt so it gets cold, my heat pump works down into the low teens with no problem. At 15 degrees it’s still around 60% more efficient than an electric base board heater. At 35 degrees I get around 17000 btu’s from 1000 watts of electric power, a base board heater gets 3412 btu’s from 1000 watts of power if it runs perfect and believe me it does not. Most heat pumps also give you air conditioning as well and some like the one I have also act as a dehumidifier. Since you’re in CT I know your temps are warmer than mine so I would take a very serious look at heat pumps. Be aware there a LOT of different makers and make sure you get one big enough to do the job, mine is one size to small and it runs more than it should have to, next time I’m going up a size. By the way I actually have my heat pumps on special meters so I can tell exactly what they are using just because I was interested to see how good they really were and so far I have been impressed with them
  12. My primers were due Wednesday but it started to snow so UPS changed it to Monday, why so many days later who knows. The solar eclipse is coming thru on Monday here in VT and the state has already warned everyone that the world will end when it happens so stay off the roads. My bet is I won’t see my primers before mid week or later. UPS will use any excuse not to deliver to my house
  13. I have a really good friend in a Deep South city who has well over 30 years in the police force, he tried to retire but the PD can’t find a replacement training officer. he told me he really doesn’t want to still be working at this point but he just can’t live with the fact that young green kids are being thrown out on the streets with little to no training and most of the time without even a seasoned officer with them so he stays and does what he can. You have to be nuts to be a police officer in todays world and I can’t even imagine what it must be like to wear the blue in todays screwed up world, I hope I never end up in a situation where I have to shoot someone and if I do I sure hope in the heat of that moment I make the right choice
  14. If you’re a cowboy and you know which end of the barrel the bullet comes out does the rest really matter ?
  15. The Czech are probably not liberals and may realize they can make good money keeping us shooting, it may not be a bad thing only time will tell
  16. A 45 colt inserted into the processor will fix all of windows 11 problems and then you can go back to your old pc and windows 10 and life WILL be better
  17. A few towns down from me the local bar was called the Duck Inn, we used to say you duck in and waddle out. which I must confess I did waddle out of there a few times ( mostly on two legs …. Mostly )
  18. We used to put them in the nose of bulls and pigs because you could snap a lead rope to them and drag even a mean nasty animal around, wonder if the new generation of city kids knew what we used them for before they were “bling”
  19. Joe Perkins at https://classicsingleaction.com/contact/ did my presentation grips on my BBQ colt and two sets for my normal shooting irons, the fit and finish is superb and you can get about any wood you like. He also has ivory if you live in Arizona
  20. I had 28” at five o’clock Saturday night and it snowed until after 11 then the wind started to howl. I don’t know what the final total was but on Sunday morning I couldn’t get out the front door and where my truck was there was just a huge pile of snow. 5 hours with a 54hp tractor and a 6 foot snow blower but the driveway is clear again
  21. I think you may have miss read the post, it state’s ILLEGAL immigrants, if your here illegally then you committed a crime and your a criminal, you do not have the right to carry or possess a firearm ( once convicted ) and your probably a double criminal because you can’t legally purchase a firearm thru a FFL holder and if it’s a private sale the seller has just committed a felony selling to a firearm to a illegal/criminal. You certainly do have rights as soon as you enter the US LEGALLY but you also loose some of the rights when you commit a crime and illegal I migration IS A CRIME
  22. I have heard of an incident here in VT where a fish and game warden was used to search a house without a warrant due to a known deer jacking, they found a lot more than the deer that was actually shot. In Vt a state police officer cannot arrest you for fish and game violations but a game warden can arrest you for game violation and everything else as well
  23. I will second JM Leather. If he has time to make ‘em there worth buying
  24. Absolutely the worse song of all times to get stuck in your head is that song Barney the purple dinosaur sings. If you have been around children much you’re already hearing it in your head and hating my guts……. Your welcome
  25. This weekend I worked a cowboy booth for our club at a gun show here in VT, we do this every year to try and gain new members and spread the news about cowboy action shooting. As I was walking the isles I noticed the local 4H club had a display showing their shooting programs, I stopped to check it out and they explained to me how they had a program where the kids researched historical western figures, dressed up in period costumes, picked an alias and fired period firearms (sound familiar) I asked them if they were just yanking my chain because I was dressed in a cowboy hat and six guns but they were not. They have a fantastic student work book on the guns and clothing the students actually fill out for the course and an even better full color history book. I was told both books are available from the Montana 4H. Has any one here at SASS ever had anything to do with this program ? It’s been in effect app 5 years or so and it seems like a REALLY great chance for SASS clubs to get some new shooter started in our game. From the look of the history book and the student hand book someone has put a lot into this project and it seems like a win/win for both of our groups
