Red River Ray SASS#33254 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Got me a 97 and sent it to every cowboy gunsmith in tha land for work on it, got a promise that nothing inside this fine SG would ever lock it up an cause tha shooter extra time on tha clock. I loaned it to a friend ta shoot it first in a match as I was promised it was mechanical perfection. http://www.carolinacowboys.us/vb/showthread.php?7391-97 RRR Quote
J.D. Lee Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 RRR, That was great! I shoot a 97 and am glad I wear a derby. J.D.Lee Quote
Olen Rugged Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Well...the gun worked perfectly. That was a hat malfunction. Seen similar with kerchiefs, stampede strings, gloves and sleeves. Olen (mine was a spent .38 case) Quote
Pit Bull Tex Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Did you call all the smiths and tell them it hung up. That was funning. Quote

Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Just bought a 97 have not shot it yet, had not even considered that posibility. Will necessitate a rakish tilt to the old campaign hat in WB Heck I still have not stuffed shells in it to see if I will hold 6, it is an actual win with a 600000 series SN. Quote
Dirty Chris Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 It gets funnier every time you watch it Quote

Colt McAllister Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Reminds me of seeing guys try to close their scarfs in their SXS. Or I watched a guy run out of shotgun shells on his belt and reach in to his breast pocket where he kept to extra shells. He had lots of problems then because he also kept a pack of rolaids in there as well. Guess what one he grabed? Not once but twice. I asked him why he just didn't throw the rolaids on the ground. He told me because they were open. We still laugh about it everytime we see each other. Quote

He told me because they were open. We still laugh about it everytime we see each other. I was working on the "mount double to shoulder, load fire, shuck over shoulder load fire etc". Worked fine until I loaded both loose ends of my wild rag in the breech. It was so close to my face and stuck shut that I had to have help getting it off of me. Quote
WymoreWrangler SASS 46187L Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 agree that was funny... Quote
Ken K Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 RRR, That was great! I shoot a 97 and am glad I wear a derby. J.D.Lee Gee I didn't have that kind of trouble with your 97!!! I will have to watch out for that one though. Cain't wait till spring up here to shoot mine. Maybe I will take it to the AHM shoot next week. KK Quote

Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Thanx for posting Ray. I'm ordering a new 97 tomorrow, but I think I'll pass on that technique. Quote
