Tn Tombstone 321 Posted February 12 Pretty sure I gave my 38's to my niece when she turned 13. Think I will have to stick with the 45's. That is kind of funny pretty boy, I have a first generation Colt made in 1897 that is a 45 so not sure how that is not period correct. I see where you specified a 73, I shoot 66's; only 73 I have is one I won one year in NC. That is a lot of one/won in one sentence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 903 Posted February 12 and the 44-40 IS the MOST period correct!! specially for bp,,, yank yank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackwater 53393 2,616 Posted February 12 Smokin’ Joe Anderson, the father of Possum Trot, had a ‘75 Remington that was fully engraved, serial number 22 that was chambered in .45 Colt. He showed me papers that authenticated it and it spent the entire time that I kept a room with him under my pillow, in the cabin he shared with me and Schoolmarm. It went to a good home when he passed, but I sure wish he’d left it to me!! I recall reading of several instances where cowboys had their Winchester ‘73s rechambered or re-barreled to .45 Colt to match their Colt or other.45 revolver. I look at “Period Correct” with the same eyes that I view that other PC!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tn Tombstone 321 Posted February 13 After seeing the buckles for this match I dont believe I will be shooting too much black. Pistols go pretty good but the Double Barrel takes some getting used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tn Tombstone 321 Posted February 22 How close are you to Steinhatchee? How about Tampa? That is where we have been for two weeks. On the way home now with a new 5th wheel. How close are you to Orlando, I will be there next month for a few days and could use some bullets, assuming I drive down in the truck but may take the bike, or might even fly though I hate to fly any more. This work stuff is killing me but someone has to support all the retired cowboys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waimea 450 Posted March 12 Won't be able to make the Kentucky State shoot in May. SADLY. Got some "issues" that need to be addressed. Might involve a sawbones with a knife. That part is in discussion right now. But I will keep him covered just in case he's lookin' to collect a bounty. I WILL be at BLACK GOLD 2019!!!
