i am south of the Mason-Dixon line. We don’t need more Yankees

I am your huckleberry!!!! Pm to follow…

I was sighting my Ruger Precision Rifle, I have a 5 story garage across the street from my condo. Although I was not using a bore sight, I have an emergency box that is exactly 100 yards away that works perfect for looking directly down the bore, and gets me dang close. When I was about done, there was a knock at the door. My city's finest was at the door. He didn't come hot as he watched me from the garage as someone reported me when they were driving through, and he figured I was doing just that (I was too busy adjust the scope to see him). He laughed and said close the blinds or do it in the dark next time. Oops.

@Pat Riot just remember that a post hole digger leaves a smaller footprint than a backhoe. 😁

I use the door bell light on my neighbor's garage door. Lines up perfect with my dining room table. FYI turn off your lights so they can't see you pointing a gun at their house GW

Reb, is this sold ?

Remove the carrier from the receiver. Reinstall the mag tube with the action slide. place a spent hull into the chamber. Pull the action slide into the receiver. Place the end of the action slide into the action hook. Kinda slam the action forward to lock onto the spent hull in the chamber. Now you will need to lightly move the action slide forward until the spent hull is fully into the chamber and the action hook is engaged with the slide and with the hull. With a moderate amount of force bring the action back to eject the spent hull. Things to look for 1. how far out does the hull fly out of the receiver 2. Did the hull shoot straight out or did it spin 3. If it spins does it go clockwise or counter clockwise Repeat this about 6 times and see if it is consistent or not. Possible problems 1. bad left extractor 2. bad left and right extractor 3. timing is not correct 4. ejector spring Coyote Cap and I used to have a competition with the 97's we were working on. Placed a hat on the floor about 8-10 foot away and started ejecting spent hulls as described above. Best of ten won. When the gun is set up correctly it should have no problem throwing them out instead of dribbling out.

Is the RO class going to be Wednesday or Thursday? I've had a couple of folks ask.

But what a fine job you did!

Finally got the pictures to post!! Trouble is, I’m not exactly sure what I did! 😂🤣😂 Hugs! Scarlett

Hey Cat, I will take the 45-70 brass off your hands. Let me know how you want the gold sent. Thanks TM

These are completely different front wheels that spin on their own and remove easily for storage or travel. And, they are considerably smaller. PARTS for the three wheel carts ARE AVAILABLE! There is NO plan to discontinue parts. Some of the really old carts don’t have parts available.. but the carts that fold with the joint in the middle of the frame (not the screw) will have parts availability! Hugs! Scarlett

Yeah, but Joe posts on all the boards. Poor ole Alpo only posts on the Salon so that is why we renamed it. TM

Gonna need a whole lot more than 10% discount with a retail of $1400. I will stay with my old 3 wheel 4 gun deluxe cart for as long as it lasts. TM

Subdeacon Joe has over 53,000 posts. Alpo has 40,000. And Alpo has been around longer.

Who said you have to have clothes on? LOL I have seen a few without much clothing but still having fun. LOL TM

The action is locked up unless the hammer is pulled back, I don’t know what part would be binding up. Do any of y’all? also it grabs the shell out of the chamber but does not throw it out. I’m cycling the action with the hammer cocked, could that be why it’s not throwing out the shell?

Scarlett, Are the new front wheels the same as the old single front wheel? Or are they smaller? Hope they are the same for future parts availability. Youngson

Great suggestion of not buying anything until you have attended a match. I don't know what your budget situation is but have seen many shooters go out and buy anything they think will need then find out that it does not meet their needs. Unless you have a gold chest in your treasury then by all means buy what you want. There are experienced CAS shooter that can give you advise and direction on how to get on in this game. The initial cost to get on in this game is expensive but if you purchase the right equipment then you will be happier. If you are on a tight budget, there are quite a good used equipment from other shooters that will be willing to part with at a good price. Just chiming in from experience. Good luck and welcome to the greatest game of cowboy action shooting.

Welcome aboard hunter84. This is a great family sport for all of you to enjoy. As said already get out to some matches and try guns and leather to see what you and the young'uns like. It'll give you a good grasp on belt sizes as well. Cowpoke in general will be happy to let you try their gear and help you get started. It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on🤣. Hang on for the addiction. You'll probably find that a 12ga will have less felt recoil and easy to load light as well. Enjoy the whole process!

I have a 43 foot tower in my yard with tribander + dipole for the WARC bands and a 43' vertical for 40/80. Let me know if you want to schedule a qso sometime, 40 meters is probably best for us in the evenings and 20m during the day. For a directional antenna, it really depends on what your tower will withstand. Mine won't take a yagi bigger than about the 14' boom or whatever I have now, so I use wires for the WARC bands (which is fine, there's no contesting and not very much bandwidth for phone, and for FT8 you don't need a fancy antenna). While antenna is VERY important, if you can hear them and you can't break the pileup, an amplifier will do more to change that, contrary to popular opinion. Ideally you'd have both, but when I flick my amplifier off of standby, the pileup is over and I'm in, nearly every time.
