Starline has 50-70 brass now, or at least they did last week.

Shave?

Slightly un-PC. Perhaps.

Look no further than Steve Harvey to prove clothes make the man, and he acknowledges it.

I have a Remington rolling block that I acquired from Dusty Morningwood, originally a 12.7x44R but I have loaded it with 50/70 trimmed down. Now all I have to do is get some lead.

technology is great . . . till it's not

This single barrel percussion 8 gauge market gun is MASSIVE. Looks like a hyper-thyroid fowler. It is unmarked as to builder. Its half round half octagon barrel is 36" long. At the breech it is 1.5" across the flats. Bore measures .875". Bore is shiny, with typical black powder pitting. The barrel retains most of its original factory finish turned plumb. Underside of barrel has Birmingham proofs. A new stainless steel nipple has been installed. Walnut stock is held to barrel with two captured keys. Fittings are German Silver with engraving on buttplate and triggerguard. Stock is in very good plus antique condition with minimal bumps and scratches. Has an easily repairable crack at toe that does not affect structural integrity. There is a capbox on underside of buttstock. LOP is 13.5". Gun weighs almost 12 lbs. A scarce gun in this condition. $1300 + Shipping.

Can polishing the faces of these be done at home or has to be a gun smith ? And done at home how ?

I am a Classic Cowgirl. If I dressed in Victorian attire, a straw hat (NOT a cowboy hat made of straw) would be considered proper attire. I prefer to dress like a working cowgirl - chinks/chaps, spurs, knife, bandana, etc. I wear a traditional style cowboy hat. I have yet to see a Classic Cowgirl wearing a straw cowboy hat. I'm not saying none do, but I have not seen it.

If I hadn't bought at least one cowboy gun before I went to a cowboy match, I probably wouldn't have been interested in cowboy action shooting at all. While I agree with the idea that buying the wrong things is an expensive mistake, the reality is that I would not be here but for wanting to buy a lever action rifle and have a reason to use it. Another coworker wanted to buy a SA revolver, and between the two of us, we realized we were halfway to the stuff we needed for SASS and ended up going to a match. That is why I disagree with the people who tell everyone not to buy anything, because if I didn't already want to buy things, I wouldn't be here. And probably neither would most all of you. It's easy years later after you ended up preferring something else to encourage people not to buy anything, because we all wish we got the stuff we really like the first time rather than having to do it over. But that's part of the process of getting into every shooting sport--you learn what you like by doing, not by hearing about it from other people or borrowing their guns long enough to shoot a stage. That said, if someone is already interested and willing to show up at a match, they should just do that, irrespective of whether they've bought anything or not. I do wish I'd gone to a match a long time before I actually did.

I think I understand this one. Classic Cowgirl allows straw hats of traditional Victorian design (see page 8 in the rules). This is an exception to the Classic prohibition. Except for these Classic categories and B Western, straw hats of traditional design are allowed, just no Shady Bradys. See page 4.

Might want to add 'NO SHIPPING" to the original post.

As an old gentleman, you can never be overdressed. A mirror, when you’re an old geezer Can leave you feeling distressed You should try not to do it while naked Go get yourself properly dressed And you know what I mean by properly A neatly pressed shirt for a start No backwards ball cap on your noggin No jeans that are falling apart A proper fedora’s a nice touch Or a Stetson if the mood is just right or even a Boater in summertime To ward off the sun’s rays so bright Properly cleaned and pressed trousers A crease like a knife’s a nice touch And a good belt to hold up your pants please Or you’ll look like a gangsta and such Shine your shoes, add a tie if you want to A vest if the weather turns cool But avoid a fur collared raccoon coat You don’t want to look like a fool Now go back and look hard in the mirror In you classy fine hat and new suit Go stroll around town with some pride for a change The young girls might say “Awww. Ain’t he cute!” They say “Clothes make the man”, well not always But they’re handy if it starts to sprinkle And one very important factor is They will certainly hide most your wrinkles

Weird things happen sometimes. “We can’t log you in”message. And then it logs me in! 🙄

Hi, is this a 10 or 12 stage match? Want to make sure we bring enough ammo. Thanks. Roper

Yep I have something for you. I'm heading up around noon. Should be there around 2:00 unless the interstate is all torn up.
