Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Bama, if I might suggest a good future buy on a firearm? I would suggest an M1A, if possible a rifle made in the 80s or 90s. They still used top quality surplus stocks, also the bayonet lug was still attached. Collectors are paying now and in the future for these, only go up in value. I remember going all the way to Geneseo, only a 3 hr drive from my farm in the 70s, and again in the 80s to buy these. I watched them put these together, at that time it was very few people and they put these together 1 at a time, checking each step, and fit. Their shop was an old store, with parts scattered all over in bins etc. Buyers could pick their own stock, and serial numbers up to those made at the time. They even threw in extra magazines, cleaning tools, and sling, even bayonets. MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 BLB, Silverdollar Don is coming over tomorrow and we will be making our plans to head out to Alabama on Friday. What time are you leaving? I am as excited as a kid with a new toy. Well, I do have a new toy. Look out Ala. here we come. I'm going to have to bow out of this trip. I was looking forward to it too. I got committed to a future news worthy event that's planned for Friday night. 4 1/2 more years and no more news worthy events for me. Sorry, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lickskillet charlie Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hey CC , This ole redneck ain't quite got that computer educated yet. Besides ,the cowboy shooting is what's keeping the boys at bay for now. They don't quiet know what to think of a gal her age shooting guns and live ammo and dressing up in cowgirl attire.

LSC Charlie, nuttin would put a smile on my face faster, but I fear that I will not be on the road with Willie or anybody else for a while. Asides, I[m skert of Cherokee Charlie and all his skills at fast talk and bamboozle. He might even talk me outta my fancy guns, seeing that hisn is all scratched up and ugly like. Seriously, I can't think of a bigger thrill for this ole country boy, than shooting with you folks. Maybe soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee Charlie Regulator #4967 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Just a reminder to all of you over at Alabama. One of our closest friends passed away today at noon. The service will be held at noon Friday so I will be late leaving for your neck of the woods. Please say a prayer for my friend Bill. His dear wife and our dear friend (Carol)went to be with God today after a long struggle with brain cancer. Our ranch is a sad place to be right now. It's tough to loose a close friend. My Miss Carol is really taking it hard. Say an extra prayer for her if you will, please. Thanks. CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hey, Cherokee Charlie. I cleaned up the word a bit for ya. CHEROKEE CHARLIE I WAS STANDING AT THE BAR, WITH MY FOOT ON THE RAIL. WHEN EVERYTHING GOT QUIET, AND THE BARKEEP, WELL, HE TURNED PALE. THERE IN THE DOORWAY STOOD A GIANT; OF SOME SORTS, IT WAS CHEROKEE CHARLIE, IN THOSE AWFUL, AWFUL SHORTS. HE HAD COME TO MAKE A STATEMENT, TO THOSE THAT HAD SOME DOUBT, OF THE MIGHT OF HIS COOPERS, WHEN THE TIN CHICKENS WERE LET OUT. EVERY FACE IN THAT PLACE GREW QUIET, NOT A SOUND COULD BE HEARD. AS HE SLOWLY WALKED TO THE BAR; GIVE ME A CROWN ROYAL, HE PURRED. WELL, THE LADIES WERE ALL A TWITTER, EXCITEMENT, IT RAN HIGH! CHARLIE SLOWLY LOOKED AROUND WITH A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE. HE SPOKE WITH A SOFT VOICE THE WORDS, SWEET, LIKE A SONG I CAME TO PROVE MY SKILL I WON'T BE HERE LONG HE DOWNED HIS CROWN ROYAL, THEN STRODE TO THE DOOR. HE WAS OUTSIDE IN AN INSTANT, THE BAR GREW NOISY ONCE MORE. BUT SOON THE SOUND OF GUNFIRE, CAME DRIFTING ON THE WIND! BRINGING THE SOUND OF CLANGING CHICKENS AND THE LAUGHER OF MY FRIEND.

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 BlueJeans and I will be at "Ambush". Because of BlueJeans injury, I haven't shot as much as I would like to, or could. There aren't many things that are a priority every year except, birthdays, anniversaries,Christmas, Thanksgiving, and of course "Ambush". "Ambush" I can say for sure is the only, "ONLY", match I look forward to. Not because of the good shooting, food, vendors, or beautiful surroundings, but because of the best partners, friends, and family we have become.

Cherokee Charlie Regulator #4967 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Badger, That poem brought tears to my eyes. I ain't got the words. Thank you, my friend. MT, you hit the nail on the head. Again this year we will be blessed with having the honor of being allowed to have Posse #1. So let me suggest that as soon as the apps for Ambush hits the street we had better get them filled out and sent in. The theme this year is Lonesome Dove. I do believe we can have some fun with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
