Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Sometimes times are hard and you do what you gotta do. I know it's a long shot but if you have seen these guns or know who has them I would like to get in contact with them in case they would ever sell them back. I'm pretty sure he's in TN.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Dewey, those are pretty. Just thought I would mention that I shoot in a few places between middle TN and east TN and I don't recall ever seeing those pistols. I wish you well. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I was wrong about TN. They were sent somewhere around Effingham IL to Buck Elroy. If anybody shoots with or knows him could you ask him to contact me. I know it's a long shot but stranger things have happened.

Buck Bisley Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Good luck in your search. I know exactly how you feel as I have been in that boat myself. I hope that someday they either return or you can replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairshake Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Dewey, This post is not going to help you in your search unless my 100% backing has some clout. I'm in the same search at this time for my 1887 Caps Special Edition Shotgun. I hope your search ends in a recovery. Later Fairshake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Dewey, retitle your thread to something like: 'Need help locating Buck Elroy'. you will probably get more 'positive' responses than the way it is. Just hopin this helps. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I think you can send him a PM. Just go to compose new messages and type in his name. good luck Marlin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 This is a great day. Woke up to start getting ready for work and low and behold I had an email from him. Looks like my babies are coming home soon. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Chance Morgun Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Dewey, Are those the guns ( minus the engraving) I sold to you a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 No I got these from 2 different people and had Lassiter do short strokes Kelly Laster do engraving and Slick Mcclade put sights on. I went thru a difficult time and let them go. At some point they'll be coming back home where they will stay this time good Lord willing.

Jon Spurlock, SASS #57357 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Wow, very cool. Buck sounds like a good man. Dewey, I understand how you feel. The first Christmas I was married (27 Christmas's ago), I sold my beloved Winchester Trapper in 30-30 and also my 9422 to give my wife a decent Christmas. By decent, I mean food on the table, electricity to warm our little apartment and a couple of gifts. I still remember that sinking feeling I had when I sold them but we do what we must. My dad had given me those guns and he died three years later never knowing I had sold them. I still carry that guilt. So, it makes me feel VERY good that you have found your pistolas. Enjoy them when they come home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackey Cole Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Not sure what caliber they were but if you can't get them back I've got a pair of om Ruger Bisley vaqueros that's had almost everything you can do to them done. Wes Flowers full race job action, short stroke half cock etc Rear sights opened up Belt Mtn base pins Lined bored for accuracy, grips checkered Shoot poi/poa They are SS 5 1/2" barreled 45 colt conservative numbered They do not have jeweled hammer or trigger If interested let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Appreciate the offer but contact was made and yes they are coming back home in the near future. I've got almost 8 year old twins that are about to start. They will eventually get these or my identical blued set minus engraving. Good Lord willing they will inherit these one day. This is what I LOVE about this sport. Nothing else I've competed in has the comrade that we do. If there is I haven't found it. As a very wise older shooter told me when I started "it's like a family reunion except everybody gets along". DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosscut hardy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hey DC, I couldn't resist chiming in here, sure am happy for you to get your guns back. And yes, it sure says a lot for CAS in seeing cowboys helping each other out. Hope your family is all well my friend. ...crosscut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
