Red River Ray SASS#33254 11 Posted January 12, 2011 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Olen Rugged 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share 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) Link to post Share on other sites

Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 3 Posted January 13, 2011 Share 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.

Colt McAllister 0 Posted January 13, 2011 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
