For Sale: Colt New Service Grips – 2 Sets Up for consideration are two sets of wood Colt New Service revolver grips. Both sets are in very good condition. The fancy carved set has “NCO” stamped on the inside and this set has a good fit. The set with the “Colt” medallion does not fill out to the edges of the Colt New Service frame that I tried it on. Otherwise, it fits fine. Please look at the photos for details on this offering. Price for both sets of Colt New Service grips is $50 shipped in the USA. [Sorry, no international shipping]. Thank you for looking. Professor Thoreau SASS Life # 2611

I have one of those. It's way better than the price would indicate and look just right for SASS . I have a dozen or so others, some nearly 100yers old some not much older than some of the left-overs in my fridge. I also have nine wrist watches and two classic stop watches...and clocks on almost every wall in my house and workshop. I knew an old horologist who had a sign on his cash register that read "A man with a watch always knows what time it is. A man with more than one is never quite certain."

I kinda figure Sam Colt was a twinkle in his grandpa’s eye when the Declaration of Independence was signed.

I don’t know what to tell you. The ones I have been in were dirty. Dust on shelves and products and the floors were atrocious.

Thank you for your service to our great nation. Keep your head down ! Come back home safe . God bless. Rooster 🙏🇺🇲

Is this you Pard ?

Nope! We rebels don't abide by those future times! It is still the 4th here!

And, it also happens to be my son's birthday, born at 9:11 AM...

The reason citizens have firearms today is because some unruly subjects had firearms in 1776…and refused to be subjects any longer! 🇺🇸

See yinz tomorrow

Welcome back Highwall. I’ve got Dupuytren’s contraction on both my little fingers. Had the needle procedure done about 3 years ago and it got so bad again this last December that it was extremely hard to put on gloves. Went back to the hand specialist in February and had the needle procedure done again on the right hand. Have the left hand scheduled for November after all my shooting travels are over for the year.

I will have enough fireworks in the morning at the Steel Challenge match. Looks like the fellow that runs it will be out of town next month. I messaged him that I will pitch in, and we can talk about it in the morning.

If the deal falls thru contact me and I’ll buy it.

Nope!

Welcome back @Highwall Come over to the Saloon, tell Bottles to put it it on @Calico Jacks tab.

Yeah, maybe so, but everyone else says you have to!

Just got in from a church cookout and fireworks tonight. They even had a bounce house and waterslide for the kids. No fancy food but it sure was good. And the family that hosted this had a nice fireworks display for us all. May God bless America!

I'm about half deaf. That might be why I missed the inflection in your voice.

no - not the hoods , the educational system , or lack there of , but the hoods look dumb on a 90+ day out in the sun

More beans, Mr. Taggart? Of course. That's an excellent start line regardless of the weather...😀

Ya done bumped the wrong one so I'll bump it up there!

I want everyone that comes out to the target range or to a match to have the most enjoyment they can and gain the most knowledge that they can about firearms and shooting sports. That said... - They need to have at the very least, basic firearm safety knowledge. If they don't, they need to take a firearm safety course BEFORE coming to the range. - They need to have rudimentary knowledge of how their firearm works. Take a shooting lesson if needed to become familiar with their gun(s). - If it is a shooting sport, they need to have read the rule book and have watched videos of the sport being "played". Shooting competitions are NOT the places to learn how to shoot a firearm. Most of the time at the shooting range (target), I cannot safely watch 20 - 30 other shooters and, at the time, provide a mentor to the new shooter. Shooting activities, be it target shooting, sport shooting or disciplined shooting are not like any other sport...serious, if not fatal, injuries can occur if safety protocols are not followed all the time...every time. I refuse to compromise the safety of all other shooters to accommodate one new shooter. As an RO at the shooting range (target), I try to help out newer shooters as much as possible and offer advice if solicited. When I was shooting CAS and/or operating the timer, I did the same thing. All people that are new to firearms have to learn somewhere. I just don't believe that a range full of people is the place to start.
