Griff Posted November 9, 2024 Share Posted November 9, 2024 Good advice above, to not buy anything until you've visited a shoot or two and have a good idea of what really works and what is mostly personal preference. Not that that is "bad", but can get expensive as one learns more. When I started, the 1873 rifle was mostly used by folks that were more interested in fitting in an earlier part of the "cowboy era",, not going for all out speed. As a well tuned Marlin 1894 or Winchester/Rossi 1892 were better suited. However with the advent of short stroke kits for the toggle links, that's largely reversed itself.. I always suggest making prior contact with the folks running the matches local to you, to express an interest and introduce yourself as "new" and get details on exactly when & where matches are held. As a former resident, "PRK" usually translates to "People's Republik of Commeifornia." Sometimes a not-so-humorous tongue-in-cheek slur on that left coast domicile. The sting should be taken out a little when made by another such resident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double check with the SASS office on the alias and SASS number of a seller before plunking down your money. There are pinned posts at the top of the classifieds with some hints. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realize I could check on a seller with the SASS office. that could really come in handy however, if the folks I’ve contacted here are scammers They’re not very good. Can’t even get one to answer my message. They go unread for weeks and then the members turn into ghosts. Perhaps I’m asking all the wrong questions or maybe they’re the right questions.? 21 hours ago, Chickamauga Charlie, SASS #47963 said: Have you found what youre looking for? Did you have questions? I’ve just been reading and absorbing information. I have an old model single six that got me started down the rabbit hole and now I’m wavering between a solid woods gun like a new model Blackhawk or a vintage shooter like an old model flat top. Some of the Colt SAA clones are interesting as well. All in good time I guess and all in good fun!
