I recamember yuz Sixgun Shorty. You needed a magazine for your High Standard HD Military and I had 4. I sold you one, hope it worked out for ya and got the gun shooting. We also chipped in and paid a Pards Dues cuz he was about broke. We did good!! I should talk to you about my Colts made in 1900 and both in .38-40 WCF. Also a Colt Bisley model in 38-40 WCF from 1902, come outta TEXAS, 3 gens in the same family. Pair of Colt 1878 Frontier six shooters. one in 44-40 WCF and one in Colt 45.

Sixgun Shorty, SASS #35717 Life 79 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hey Big Jake Nice collection of Colts! Wish i could help you with parts, but the one part i no longer have are generational loading gates If you find one, make sure it has a part number stamped on it( will not be the serial #!)....Not all do, but your 1st gens should all have a parts # on the gate I retired and gave up my FFL Class 3 License 6 years ago when my wife passed away. I still have a lot of parts and a lot of Colt SAA's and 1911's...probably ought to start selling them as i don't shoot very much anymore One thing I've found about being a Colt Collector is that they are really hard to part with! But i also don't want to see them wind up in a garage sale! I have about 15 Colt SAA's, including a few real rarities and about 18 Colt 1911's of all gens also going back to 1917....But I have NO 1911A1's at all...I never liked the arched mainspring housing... Thanks Jake,,,Nice to 'hear' from you! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I consider the early days pre- 2000-2002 or so. They still had "The John Wayne Test" back then, most of the current stuff would not pass! LOL. Mouse f@rt loads, Titanium firing pins, aluminum followers and short stroke kits ARE NOT from the early days. Rifle target would be 25-35 yards or more, pistol at 10-15 yards, and targets about 1/3 the size! Railroad Flat had a 50 yard bell in a bell tower.

Sixgun Shorty, SASS #35717 Life 79 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Howdy Ethan Actually, I gave my Viper to my Daughter on her 42nd birthday I had an original 1969 Camaro Z28 that I had never gotten around to restoring, so spent nearly 2 years doing a frame off resto mod..all state of the art modern parts except the original body and a few other key parts.... I bought it as a numbers matching original 302 Z28, but decided to resto it into a show car after driving it stock for several years...Finally finished it and have been making the car show circuit for a few years prior to Covid In the summer, it's my daily driver..Not much good in Lake Tahoe in winters! It's entered in Hot August Nights in Reno this August. I'd love to keep competing and cowboying, but age and surgeries finally caught up with me..I sure do miss it, particularly all the good pards i made in my 12 years of SASS. Just the finest years of my Life! Those were great times! And great Memories! Edited March 17 by Sixgun Shorty, SASS #35717 Life 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a 1970 1/2 Z-28 in my early to mid 20's but traded it off. My youngest son now has an original 1971 SS/RS Camaro. I am currently putting together the components to rebuild a 1969 302 Z-28 engine that I will drop into my 1972 El Camino. I have the block, pistons, crank shaft, solid lifter cam and a single 4 barrel intake manifold so far. I am looking for a factory dual quad manifold, but no luck so far. I have not decided if I will go with stock cast iron 2.02 heads or use aftermarket aluminum yet. In a world of LS swaps and computer controlled horsepower, I am still hooked on original small block Chevy engines and manual transmissions. My 1963 Landcruiser has a 327 Chevy engine. Maybe I can make up to Reno in August. Hot August Nights looks like a fantastic event. Best regards, Ethan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"The two young ladies came prepared to shoot, and shoot they did! They had loads for all their guns that would make even the biggest men flinch!" The lady on the left is Aurie Bradley (whose alias I don’t recall). The lady on the right is May Lillie, wife of the late great Pawnee Bill (who won a number of the early costuming awards in the early days). The nice thing about this picture is that their clothes are period perfect. Today, most of the clothes seen in SASS scream “COSTUME”. These look like clothes. They did shoot full house BP loads and did it with style. Edited March 18 by Doc Coles SASS 1188 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been dyin for years to put together a small block with a cross-ram manifold with dual fuel injection throttle bodies on it. Marriage... kids... kids... kids' school... still determined though.

Sixgun Shorty, SASS #35717 Life 79 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The 302 does not like EFI...Chevy told me Not to even try to adapt fuel injection to it...I'm sure you could possibly get it to work, buj it was built for the Big Holley 760 Holley built a one off 4BBL 760cfm carb just for the 302 I live at 7000' in the Sierras..constantly go from 7000' to 4000' in Carson Valley..EFI made a lot more sense than rejetting the carb constantly. Plus I wanted a Custom Z28 that drove better than the original and had EFI due to altitude I did have fun with the original 302, but the ZZ6 350 i replaced it with is much more drivable 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
