Rancho Roy Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 A fellow at the last Wild Bunch meet showed me this very simple modification to the 1897 so you never have to push the little button on the side to cycle the action. A center punch and 30 seconds of your time. The displaced metal simply hold down the little thingy that stops the action from cycling unless you depress the cycle button. What am I missing here? What aren't 1897 gunsmiths performing this simple modification? Seems to work great..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Quote Firearms must operate as intended by the original pre-1900 designs they depict. Firearms must function in a safe manner. ... The use of a non-SASS legal firearm results in a Stage Disqualification (SDQ) for each stage the illegal firearm is used. Penalties for illegal equipment/items and firearms are not awarded in arrears, but should be corrected before the competitor shoots the next stage. ... Internal modifications not referenced here that cannot be seen while the firearm is at rest (action closed) are allowed provided they do not affect the external operation or directly conflict with one of the modifications listed here.
