Bump for a good cowboy and a great knife. Don Norris made some beautiful knives which are to many of us, pieces of art. Good luck on the sale Joe! Buckeye Pete

I've had both shoulder joints replaced, but neither were the reverse procedures . My dominant shoulder in 2017 and the other in 2021. Both have gone smoothly. I shoot reduced power shotgun shells and do quite well. Good luck. Buckeye Pete

Star, That is how I load my 12 ga for cowboy action. I have had both shoulder joints replaced, so I lightened up my loads so I can shoot from the shoulder vs. the hip. These days I'm shooting smokeless, but I'm sure that with a little bit of trial and error, a good BP load could be achieved. Even when I didn't know my shoulders were so bad, my BP loads never went much above 40 gr of black. I've found when you go way up in grains in BP, you tend to waste powder. Buckeye Pete

When I shot my Ruger Old Armies, the T/C plastic snail capper worked very well. I tried the brass types but didn't have much luck with them. Buckeye Pete
