I know some will disagree, but I like gun order in matches. I write stages with mixed starting gun order, for example in a 6 stage match your going to start with every gun at least once maybe twice and maybe one or two choice stages. Example: Two stages start with rifle, one time rifle will be on a prop or table and one time in hand or cowboy port arms etc. Same with shotgun and pistols hands on pistols or prop or staged. Never start the same way twice in a match and you have variety, you don’t need rifle last to add variety.

I never write rifle last stages because I don’t trust the TO’s on every posse to get the last shot of the rifle/the rifle shots. We use Bluetooth timers from Competition Electronics with the CAS scoring program you can look at split strings in the reports and a lot of the time the rifle splits are missing.

I would get some federal primers for the rifle and use the other primers for your pistols. Running a heavier main spring will make the gun harder to lever, although a quarter or half turn of adjustment s rew you probably won’t feel.
Cody is a great guy and stands behind his work, I have recommended him many times of the years and nobody has ever complained.

This is a Bucket List Match !
Midwest Hale & myself just got home last night from “Gunsmoke the Midwest Regional “ a lot of miles from our place in Florida to Minnesota but it was well worth it. Deuce Stevens and Cowboy Carty (co match directors) did an excellent job with the 12 main match stages, the targets were set so you could let it rip, fun sequences that were not hard, and at least four shotgun knockdowns on every stage with one six shotgun knockdowns each day. Riverboat Red and the Cedar Valley Vigilantes did a great job of making folks feel welcome, they had snacks and water available at the stages, well organized from the time you get there till you leave. The range itself is incredible surrounded by vast cornfields as far as you can see and when you turn in it’s like going back in time to the old west with lots of old wood buildings, trees, facades on most of the bays, just a really awesome facility.
Posse 1 was a lot of fun shooting with & hanging out , we had a great time !
Midwest Hale had great match taking top lady and finishing 3rd overall, so proud of her. For the first time she did a mental management class for the ladies that was very well received.
Congratulations to Deuce for taking overall and match directing a great match. Really fun watching Deuce & Carty going back and forth with great stages.
Congrats to all the category winners and regional champs ! A big shout out to John Wesley Hardin for taking 2nd in 49R and regional champ 6th overall , Duke Skywalker overcame a rough stage and took 1st 49R 4th overall & I ended up 3rd in 49R 7th overall.
Thanks to all involved great match & great time !

Here's what a serrated front sight looks like in particular.
OK, after learning several thousand things about Google Photos
, I came up with this link for my serrated stainless Vaquero front sights:

I did that file work in just a few minutes with, I believe, a 40 LPI checkering file from Brownells. About 3 or 4 years ago.
Good luck, GJ
works good dab some paint in serration works great and looks good too

For those who are unfamiliar with W3G, this is the type of movement typically available.
Nice run !

As Chance mentioned we had the T&R Ranch they did the W3G matches also WVC the Orlando Club did them for a while, unfortunately folks thought like Blackey Cole mentioned they were afraid to try it because you could move and shoot and figured it would mess them up for SASS matches but it's totally different than SASS,W3G you cannot see all targets unless you move in SASS targets are in front , It was fun and nothing to be worried about

in SASS Wire Classifieds

I have a 73 Winchester (Miroku) short rifle ,I was wondering if anybody would care to trade a carbine stock for a crescent. I know they make aftermarket ones but figured I would see if somebody might want a crescent stock. Trade crescent for a carbine.
