If you want something super lightweight compact and threaded for a suppressor Henry just came out with the SPD CRUSR. Not a work of art but definitely different for the collection. Marlins dark series is pretty cool for a change of pace as well.

That is a sweet shooter! I would say ivory for sure or giraffe bone as a second guess. They are too nicely fitted to be anything else. Probably a custom shop gun. Congrats!

Over on the Colt forum the SAA guys are experts. That's where I'd ask.

A few months ago I got a new Cimarron 1878 Shotgun to replace my TTN. Boomstick took my TTN in trade as it wasn't repairable. It would drop open to almost 90º. which made it pretty awkward to empty and reload. Yesterday, I loaded a couple hundred BP rounds on the Hornady 336, which is still giving me a few hiccups. I had about 7 or 8 rounds that either I forgot the wad or they got deformed in the crimp area. It's a process. Anyway, I took them outside the just pop them off and retry to load. I grabben the Cimarron and dropped two in, and... The action wouldn't close and lock! Shot them up with the old Stoeger I've had since 1986. And today I inspected the Cimarron.
I have no idea what they were, but I found 2 small disks of some flattened material stuck to the underside of the barrels. Just thick enough to hold the barrels off the water table and keeping the latch from closing. They cleaned off pretty easily, and now it closes completely. The two small disks were about .010" thick, and about .26" in diameter. They are pretty hard, but flexible. I.e., bends easily. I don't see how they be flattened shot or what. Both were under the left barrel.
i have no idea how, where they were picked up from, as when I picked it up from the safe, it was latched closed. This loading session is the 1st time I've used reclaimed shot, so whether they were deformed shot that fell out of the incomplete rounds when I tried to load it the first time.. or what! Thinking they might have been some BP granules I took them outside and tried to see if they'd burn... but no such luck. There's a bit of oil there, so they could be powder flakes that were saturated, but they seem pretty hard for that.
Any ideas?
Hey Griff, how are you liking that new Cimarron? Are they good to go right out of the box? Had me a CZ hammered but don't have the funds this time around for one all slicked up. Getting my gear back together after foolishly selling stuff. The stock Cimarron looks good and more affordable. Thanks for any info you have or anyone else reading this with one.

Bump with lower added. Nice long range rifle for hunting or ELR competition.

Any pictures of target with grouping?
No unfortunately I didn't think to save the targets when I went. I wasn't planning on selling it at that time. The 168 smk is what it liked. I'm not a seasoned marksman and was stacking single holes with 3 shot strings at 100yd.

You definitely need to put the Wartrace Regulators TN state match on your list. I know you have been to Memphis but this is a whole different venue. I've been lucky enough to go to the last two. A good group of CC with with one of the best in the game in my opinion Cleve. Whiskey Hayes is a true Classic and they put on a great shoot. As a Classic Cowboy myself I sure wouldn't miss it.

I feel like I may have helped the scammer. He was actively PMing me asking my advice. I let my guard down for one minute and this is what happens!
The guys name and criminal record is posted on the Coltforum.
I wouldn't feel bad, you are always on here quick to spot a scammer. It happens. I actually posted something on that ad calling BS and changed it because I couldn't prove it. I don't think he got anyone for their money. They are everywhere it seems we all try to give the benefit of the doubt.

Grip tape legal?
in SASS Wire
Posted · Edited by Needle-Nose-Tom
I was wondering about grip tape on the butt of a 73. Don't really want a full leather cover. It would be cut out and stuck to the metal crescent back only. Legal?
Or even gluing a strip of leather on?
