    You're going to hate me, but I have a pair of these. 🤣 Engraved 51 navy deluxe yank marshals in 44 (I don't know that they ever made the engraved models in 36, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Let me know if you want me to bring em to Black Gold.

    This is an absolute aside from this thread but, this got me to wondering about the composition of these things (and the original question is well answered at this point)

     

    APP is (according to the MSDS) - and is not self igniting

    1. Potassium Nitrate
    2. Potassium Perchlorate
    3. Charcoal 

    Pyrodex is (according to the MSDS) - has an auto ignition temp of 740F

    1. Charcoal
    2. Sulfer
    3. Potassium Nitrate
    4. Potassium Perchlorate
    5. Graphite

    Goex is (according to the MSDS and as expected for being real black) - has an auto ignition temp of 392 - 867F

    1. Charcoal 
    2. Sulfur 
    3. Potassium Nitrate

    APP is fully miscible in water, Goex has 'good' solubility in water, and Pyrodex is partially soluble in water. 

     

    I'm not a chemist, but I find this interesting. 

    I'm not a chemist either, but this is great info, thank you for sharing!

    App is a substitute for BP. BP can be wet dried out and function just fine, APP probably not.

    I sure wouldn't think so. I've not got much experience with subs, so I don't really know.

    I got a free bottle of powder from my local gun runner that was unopened. It was very old and when I opened it, it was one huge clump of powder. I used a screwdriver and sports drink mixing bottle before loading my powder measure. Everything came out and worked great.

    BP can be 100 years old, get wet, get clumpy, whatever; dry it out, bust up the clumps, it's still more likely to go boom than not.

    @Scarlett is right as always! This year's Fire and Brimstone in Paradise will be an absolute riot, with great stages, side matches (including plainsman mini match), the famous night shoot, and new this year, Cowboy Bingo, featuring the legendary Mighty Furball as your caller! There will be vendors (including Scarlett Darlin), and more, hope to see you all there!

    Questions re: CZ Sharptail Coach Gun

    in SASS Wire

    Posted

    @Dapper Dave In defense of the guys advising caution, let me share with you that I bought a Sharptail, and brought it to Doc Noper, who is an established cowboy shotgunsmith, and he took one look at it, gave it back, and said "whatever those crazy steampunk internals are, I'm not messing with em." Ended up sending mine to Longhunter before he got out of the business. Not in any way questioning your gunsmith, but reinforcing that these guns are very unique. Hope the whole thing goes smoothly!

    I don’t think there is a vaquero out there that is in the condition you seek 

    It doesn't need to be in any particular condition, bad, good, or otherwise. I'm not after a basket case, just not a pristine Talo or a collectable one. Not looking for a $400 OMV, those days are gone, but don't want an $1100 one either. Gotta be something realistic in the $600-700 neck of the woods, or higher with interest in a trade.

    Got one

    This is for a project, so I don't need any show pieces. Caliber isn't important. I have a decent supply of items for trade as well, let me know what you're looking for. Thanks!

    Custom cowboy hat

    in SASS Wire

    Posted

    My everyday hat is a once newly reconditioned and custom shaped (now thoroughly whupped and comfy as an ol pair of 501s) Resistol from @Tucker T Fudpucker, and I love it almost as much as I like saying the name of the guy I got it from 🤣. 

    That said, I'm also saving my pennies for one from Landers Hat Works.

    Fire and Brimstone in Paradise 2025

    in SASS Wire

    This match is going to be an absolute riot! If you've never been to Paradise Pass, this is a match that really showcases all the work that CC and his crew have put into building a world class cowboy facility right here in Indiana. We'll have applications and answers to questions at the upcoming Blackout at Stoney Bottom (really excited for the revival of this match by our pal Woody Shootem and his crew), West Side Renegades Spring Round Up (another not to be missed match!), and anywhere else you see one of the Paradise Pass Regulators. Hope to see you all there!

    WTB Uberti 1873 Rifle barrel in 357

    in SASS Wire Classifieds

    Posted

    Howdy pards, I know I can get one at vti or taylors, figured I'd check here first if someone had one in their parts box. Looking for a 20' "w prefix" uberti barrel in 357 for a project. Doesn't need to be visually flawless, lord knows I'm not, as long as it's functional. Prefer octagon, not married to that if the price is right. Thanks in advance,

    P.S. Please don't waste anyone's time, Toddgerman@scammyinbred.fart
