Ethan Cord Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well my rant about 1873's is that recently I was trying to shoot up a bunch of mystery .38 WCF ammo to salvage the brass for reloading. One of the rounds exceeded the overall cartridge length and locked up the action. I pulled the magazine tube loose and while working hard to get the end cap off it finally let loose. I found all the parts except the magazine spring which disappeared into the brush never to be found. My rant about hot brass is that I wasn't there to pick yours up in time to prevent those nasty burns!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Jen Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Rant? AH! Don't get me started! Oh. You did, already. OK: Why is it you have ta live in a place that has disasters? In the South, you have hurricanes. In the North, you have bone-chilling winters. In the Midwest, you have tornadoes. In the Southwest, you have earthquakes.... What we need is a place with a good climate, good people, yet no real problems with fire ants, killer bees, natural disasters, er none of that. Ah! But then I'd probably go to sleep and miss half of it! AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klondike, Ya gots ta be MORE Specific for us inexperienced shooters! Had a high wind come up a few stages into a monthly and switched from a Gus hat to a Kepi hat in order to have shade for the front of the face and eyes. Lo and behold, my '73 began shucking hot shells down my back collar . Darned hard to hold concentration - but I can't even imagine the female shock and awe that might inspire going down the tender front side!!! So now I need to get a Marlin for really windy days???

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 How come everything I'd like to do is either not legal, not moral, (in someone's opinion) or fattening?? How come everything I want to do costs money?? Why wasn't I born wealthy?? Just why is it that I can't shoot every weekend?? Why did the Wild Bunch outlaw Marlin shotguns?? Why ain't there a S.A.S.S. club in my back yard that all my cowboy friends show up to every weekend?? (How am I doin' so far??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kid Sopris, Regulator, #3290 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I don't have a specific issue with 1873's, wish I could afford more. Having said that I would like to discuss, on a more serious note, the problem of "Suicidal Insects". It happens everywhere I Iravel . Insects from all walks of live find it necessary to throw, hurl or dispose themselves on to my windshield, grill, radiator and other parts of my vehicle, thus depositing their life's work upon my vehicle, requiring endless hours of detail work to remove the unsightly messes. I often thought of attaching a Electric Zapper to a Cattle Guard/ Insect Guard to the extended front end of my vehicle. Operating like a force field to destroy these invaders before they have a chance to attach themselves to my investment. Maybe even encompassing a headsup display on the vehicle windshield to pinpoint specific targets and then engage them with a trigger mechanism similar to that of a Single Action Army or to stay on topic, that of a 1873.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Okay I'll join the RANT! Some anti-gun Democrat from Ohio has introduced a bill that would make ALL firearm purchases go through an FFL. That means private transactions between family and friends! :angry: I just emailed my state senator and house rep and told them this will only affect LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!! What don't they understand about that? Criminals don't care about laws! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakey Merlot Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hello Birdgun, I, too, would like to see a Baptist Category. That way, after each shoot, the Baptists will stick around praying that they beat each other and I can get to the lunch line ahead of them.

Shakey (who says grace while running to the food) Merlot Shakey, you don't know Baptists very well. One of the hallmarks of a Baptist is the enjoyment of 'bellyship.' You see others may have 'fellowship' where they enjoy spending time with each other, but with Baptists there is a meal involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakey Merlot Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hey Grizzly, You're right, but grace is usually so long the food is cold. That's why I'm a Methodist. Shakey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well, we could never have an Episcopal Category. They would never let wine be served on the range, and the shooter would spend so much time in animated conversation with the RO that they would never shoot the stage. Over at St. John's they even announce that we will have a FELLOWSHIP HOUR, after the Sunday service. Gabby bunch we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
