Rancho Roy Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 A few new changes were announced.....White slip on rifle front sight, wire ejector spring for 1897 SG, 9mm allowed in Ruger revolvers.....All good. But this one is an issue in my mind: "Gun Skins" DIY vinyl wraps approved as firearm and/or stock/grip coating. "Many of the Gun Skin themes are patriotic and support first responders and the military."** NO "CAMO" or "SPORT TEAM/Advertising" LOGOS ALLOWED. No problem with "imitation wood" type wraps........But Tattoos on the stock with colors, words and images is a real mess.......Bad idea. Totally distracts from the "Cowboy " image....

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Plenty of room on vehicles, bumpers, and other places if you want to reskin things. Certainly not a cowboy thing, and distracting in photo displays of our sport. Besides, if these can be placed on your firearms, why won't similar images be used for shooting clothes and boots? I'm ALL for supporting first responders and military. Why not put that money towards THEIR needs rather than one's own desires? (I do). good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy....Nothing that we can see that wasn't around before 1900......Internal stuff is OK....But carbon fiber etc is not...It simply kills the vibe...IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Well folks, I am the culprit that started this whole situation on this thread that has created all this heartburn. Maybe someone else also, but I did send an application for consideration of the patriotic "Guns Skins" wraps, and here's why. We have three grandchildren that we are introducing into CAS. Two Buckaroos and one Young Gun. Our oldest son (their father) is a USAF veteran. The kids love wearing all kinds of patriotic clothing. They have even used "U.S." military collar insignia on their cowboy hats, and other veteran pins. They are proud of their dad as they should be. We purchased two Ruger Wranglers and a Henry .22 lever rifle for them. Once when they were at our house, I was looking at gun photographs online. One was a stars and stripes Gun Skins wrap on a 38 revolver. They all commented how cool the gun looked and could we get their guns to look like that. I told them that there are rules to CAS, and I would have to check on it. A call to the SASS HQ got me a form to download asking for a rule change/clarification. I filled it out and sent it in, along with the Guns Skins photo we had seen. So as revealed above, it was approved with conditions. I thought showing patriotism and following rules was very much within the "cowboy" image. I apologize for any grief that this has caused to SASS members.

No, it doesn't....That is all necessary for the game....If it did you could join NCOWS, the other cowboy shooting organization....You want to talk about RULES...And no close targets! Oh, and during the 1800, LOTS of goods came from China by way of the west coast...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
