In stock email alert, April fools
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 replied to Hoss Shoer's topic in SASS Wire
I was able to backorder 2 of them. I placed an order just as soon as I saw the email and they stated outof stock, backorder ok. I tried to order some a couple weeks ago and they were not accepting backorders at that time. -

I used a pair of stainless steel Virginia dragoons for my main match guns for about 5 or 6 years. -

Yes, 1979 is would make it a 3rd generation revolver. It has 1 piece grips white grips. I don't know if they are ivory or not, but it came out of a collector's estate, so I am reasonably certain they are original to the revolver. After a bit of research, I am reasonable certain they are not Ivory grips. -
1979 Nickel Colt 44spl with 4.75 inch barrel. It comes with the brown wood grain box which is correct for the revolver but not the original box. It has been fired and has a faint turn line on the cylinder. As much as I like this, I am going to have to purchase a new pickup truck so this will be part of the down payment. I will transfer these FFL to FFL only. I am asking $2600 plus shipping and insurance. If you want more pictures or discuss a deal, PM me and I will contact you. Thanks:

A buddy of mine when to a gun show in the northern part of Illinois where he lives and tried to buy a brick of 22lr shells (500). Not only did he have to produce his FOID card, the dealer had to get an approval number for the purchase the same as a firearm and record his FOID card and his drivers license. They also told him that he should not be purchasing high volumes of ammo as the State police may want to investigate the reason for his large purchase of ammo. Illinois Firearms Owners Identification Card-- 1 month wait to get a new card ( may take longer), must be renewed before it expires or you can lose your firearms and ammo ( required for both) Long gun- requires Approval number , Foid card, Drivers license, and 72 hour waiting period from the time they get the approval number. Handgun - requires Approval number , Foid card, Drivers license, and 72 hour waiting period from the time they get the approval number. Ammo - requires Approval number , Foid card, Drivers license, and the dealer must keep a record of the purchase.. I went in a gun shop in Indiana a couple months ago and looked at a couple older 22 rifles. When I inquired about a bolt action 22 mag rifle and told him I was from Illinois, he told me to get out of his shop and not to come back as he would not sell anything to a resident of Illinois. I did not say anything and left but I was not a happy camper. I have not run into that at the gun shows but usually the ones close to me have dealers from both states and transfer stuff as needed to be compliant..

Shoveling Snow S##KS!
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 replied to TN Mongo, SASS #61450's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Is this how you feel? DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER: Moved to North Dakota this fall. We heard that summers are fun and winter is beautiful. We think there is no more beautiful a place in the whole world! December 8 - 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow! December 9 - We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life! December 12 - The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor. December 14 - Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so. December 15 - 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all. December 16 - Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel. December 17 - Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God! I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room. December 20 - Electricity's back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but. they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying. December 22 - Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob-who has a plow on his truck-for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the asshole is lying. December 23 - Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago. She says she did but I think she's lying. December 24 - 6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling, and then he comes down the street...at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents...but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow. December 25 - Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to feed her through a chipper shredder. December 26 - Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves. December 27 - Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $4,400 to replace all my pipes. December 28 - Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!! December 29 - 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am? December 30 - Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted. December 31 - I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling. January 8 - Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed ??? -Author Unknown All reactions: 3.9K3.9K -

Shoveling Snow S##KS!
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 replied to TN Mongo, SASS #61450's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I just came in for clearing the lane and the parking area here on the farm. Got stuck on the ice twice with the truck. Best part was my friend down the road had came over with his 4 wheel drive tractor and blade and cleaned most of it up and it is starting to melt. Bad part is my e-wife has my snowblower up in Chicago where I lived for 25 years and it has sat in her garage and not been used since I left in 2015. I called her today and told her i was coming to get it in the next week or so as she is now moving to a small apartment and about 1/2 her stuff is headed to storage. Just hope i don't get stuck moving more of her stuff to storage, I filled a 10x30 storage unit last year as my son was to do it but his dad (me) is the one with a trailer and a pickup truck. It took 6 round trips of 460 miles to move her stuff and I really hope I don't have to move any of her stuff next month. -
I was down in Clarksville, Tn about a month ago and stopped at a Waffle house. The sign on the door said carry out only. When I went in, there was only one guy working and running the whole show and said most of the staff was out sick and he would not have any help until the morning ( was about 7pm). I said I need a place to sit down and eat and he directed to the next Waffle House, one about 3 miles south on the same road or one about 5 miles north on the same road. I was going to be headed north anyhow and I stopped at the next one and got a T-Bone steak, Chili and about 5 lbs of hash browns loaded with ham, cheese and grilled onions, I passed on the jalapeno peppers. It was a good meal and I liked it. I usually find one when I am traveling south to shoot a match. I think the the closest one to me is in Louisville , Ky or by St Louis, MO, on the Illinois side of the river off I64.

The last time I drove thru Texas to Houston I was on the 2 lane road and the speed limit changed every 200 yards. I got pulled over and officer was not being very nice and remarked I should be on an interstate if I want to go fast. I was already a bit unhappy and my comment back to him was the limit changes every 100 yards and the signs are hidden and if I knew where there was a interstate to drive on, I would be on it. Then I asked how close the interstate was so I could get off this dam road. ( My actual statements were more colorful) He started to say something and his partner pulled him away back to the car. A few minutes later his partner came back with a warning ticket and told me there was not a interstate close by for my trip and just to be more careful watching for the signs. I drove back home from Houston by driving east on Interstate 10 and drove north on I55 to Illinois. It made about the same time and it was a much better drive. Good luck and be careful. -

I thought you sold these a while back. If you don't sell the pair ( 1 & 2) you have been shooting, send me a message and we can discuss them. Somebody buy these as I have been spending too much money lately. Bump for a friend. Maddog McCoy
