Dorado Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ok This being a old west thing we should be using old west guns. What do y'all think of changing the rules to not allow rugers and marlins? Those weren't around back then. UPDATE!!! It was an experiment. You can stop now. I was joking. Don't get you breeches in a twist. It's over. Stop. I repeat STOP!
M.T Chambers, SASS#76185 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 364 posts you are not a newbie - you really wanna try to go there? Good Luck, MTC
Kiowa Kid, SASS #69870L Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ok This being a old west thing we should be using old west guns. What do y'all think of changing the rules to not allow rugers and marlins? Those weren't around back then. My friend I correct you and Say Marlins were around back then, and as far as Rugers are you really wanting to start that fight? KK
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 OK, let's see... Popcorn is ready and my soda is cold so "let the games begin" This IS going to be fun reading LG
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Don't let the door hit ya on the way out... GG ~
Slick Derringer Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 This will be fun! (maybe this thread should be deleted now, instead of later)
Blue Steel Duke Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ok This being a old west thing we should be using old west guns. What do y'all think of changing the rules to not allow rugers and marlins? Those weren't around back then. Is there not a NCOWS club around you? Just kidding pard. I guess they could, but where would you draw the line? Timers, gun carts, safety glasses, hearing protection & aids, zippers, short stroke and action jobs? BSD
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 The boys invented this game with Rugers. It's the Single Action Shooting Society. Let's retroactively ban Rugers; then the game would never have come into being!
Dorado Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Not one that I'm aware of. And I'll draw the line somewhere but I don't pay attention to them when I color.
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Think I'll just duck under this table now. Let me know when the smoke clears, on second thought, maybe I don't wanna know......
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ah come on It's a legitimate question. So is. Why do YOU care? BTW, Marlin lever rifles have been around from the 1880's LG
Ketchum Quick, SASS #72923 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Hey Dorado you might want to look into NCOWS if the period corrct firearms that others shoot bothers you and limits the fun you have while playing the game! Oh.... do you shoot a pair of first gen Colts and an original Winchester? See, second and third gen Colts were not around back then and Aldo Uberti wasn't either! KQ
lefty pete Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Dorado,if you really feel that way about it I have a idea for you.Dont use them.That is the great part of this game so many ways it can be played and enjoyed by all.
Dorado Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Ok, Got the responses I needed. 14 replies, 30 minutes. Great help. Sorry to stir the pot but It was just an experiment. Btw I use marlin and am about to purchase some rugers.

What do y'all think of changing the rules to not allow rugers and marlins? Those weren't around back then. With that logic you would have to ban all clones such as Rugers, Berettas, Taurus', Ubertis, Piettas, Chiappas, Pumas, and shoot only products that are available from manufacturers that were around in the 1800's in a rimfire or WCF caliber? I for one couldn't afford it.
Three Foot Johnson Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I did one o' dem 'speriments awhile back, and had 'bout half the membership lookin' to lynch me.

Dorado Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Ok, so I like aggravating people. that's not a crime. But in all seriousness, I'm helping a friend of mine with some school work. She was charged with aggravating a group of people for 30 minutes and see what happens, for a psychology or sociology class or something like that. She has the distinct inability to make people mad. Its the strangest thing. But I told her I'd help her out. I have a knack for it, apparently. So, experiment over. Test done. Thank you for your unwitting participation.
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I did one o' dem 'speriments awhile back, and had 'bout half the membership lookin' to lynch me. Me too GG ~
Capt. Morgan Rum, SASS #6859 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ah come on It's a legitimate question. It's quite incorrect regarding Marlins. They WERE used during the old west. Models 1881, 1889. 1894 just to name a few.
johny two horse Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I think you would eliminate about 80% of the existing shooters do to cost and lack of availability.
Dorado Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 I think I started something that won't end!!!!!! :wacko:
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I think I started something that won't end!!!!!! :wacko: Yup - looks like you will get more 'data' for your experiment though GG ~
Deadeye Dingus Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I got a feelin' you weren't around then either......????? Deadeye
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I can't remember the exact words, but WB member Tex said on TV, something real close to this: "SASS is not how the west really was, but it's how people think it was, and that's close enough" THAT, dear reader is the heart and soul of SASS. This ain't "thread count policing" reinactors, this is a FANTASY game with an old west theme, nothing more..... So lemme ask this, with that in mind, would you even ASK your question?
Dorado Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 PEOPLE PLEASE READ THIS! It was just an experiment, nothing more. I was not being serious. It's over. You're just kicking a fake dead horse. It's like hopping on a rocking horse to go to Never Never Land. It ain't happenin' 'cept in your dreams. Get over it.

Folks in these parts love kicking dead horses - fake or not.... GG ~
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Dorado, actually, the joke is on you. These Wire Pards knew you had to be jokin and such and played along. And now, your the one who only took 30 minutes to get all riled up. Tell your experimental friend how this 'test' really worked out.... This is funny. Oh yea, just so everyone knows.....WD40 is the best cleaner/lubricant on the market! ..........Widder
