El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It’s not a myth, Widder. The only part that is a myth is the 97 only part. You need at least three of every gun. And that’s the bare minimum. Saying otherwise is just crazy talk. What are you thinking being that irresponsible? My wife could have read your thread and started questioning my method.

Well it works for me anyway. Two more just showed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you wanna look at it that way, sure... 28 Main Match Revolvers 10 Main Match Rifles 6 Main Match Shotguns And that doesn't count pocket pistols, derringers, long range rifles or other guns of the era that are simply not used in our game.

Getting smacked in the side of the head with a 2x4 yesterday morning must have clouded my thoughts momentarily. Indeed, I own about a dozen 97's......... AND I NEED EVERY ONE OF THEM! ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloe Moe Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Well, it arrived yesterday, Went to the shop to do the transfer, discussed with the 'Smith, not a terrible big ding in the barrel, but noticeable on the inside, really smooth action, much nicer than my other '97, quite pleased overall. Decided on making the barrel a 20" , no bead, replace the decades old, hard-as-a rock recoil pad with a new one, safety and function check on the entire works. Pick it up in a month or so (maybe just 2 weeks, but I know him, he's slow). I'm gonna need a butt-cover to hide the unsightly aftermarket recoil pad, so shopping for one now. Also, found another '97 on the SASS Net classifieds today, moments ago, looks really nice. Bead blasted finish, shortened barrel (to what, dunno), good looking wood, I needed #3, just got paid...so I'm buying it. Who makes good butt-covers for a '97? I might need 2 or 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 My match '97 is about 18 1/16". The other three or four are all full-length. I wouldn't have cut it quite that short, but it was like that when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
