44wcf is rifle As for the other stuff you rant about. When the game was created, the materials and supplies that were available at that time were used. Note, the WB Movie was filmed in 1969. If you don't like the rules and regulations of SASS WBAS, please, contact your TG and see if they can be changed.

Y'all have really shown me why so many parents have gone to home schooling. I really hope you're not in any instructor position, because you suck at it.

I don't have anything to do with the WB rules, as I was Retired/fired from the job a few years ago, but I will add a little thing that hasn't brought up. SASS as an orginaztion does NOT allow any plastic parts on any firearms where you can see them. (exception handgun grips)So plastic base pads fall outside any SASS organized competetion rules.

You should also show up to a match and I'll show you how to shoot wild bunch, without my modern magazines.

You are nothing but a whiny cry baby!!! You think the world should change to please you, that is childish and plain rude!!!!!

You sure whine a lot about everything! Why do you shoot Wild Bunch if you dislike it so much?

He took the first shot across my bow, now he can shut up, readjust his attitude, or endure the fallout of his sh!tty decision!!!! I did not back down from A. M. and I refuse to let this pompous arse intimidate me!!!!!!!

I am not mad because you don't agree with me, I simply keep pointing out the FDACTS of the situation!!! You keep demanding that SASS change THEIR game to accommodate YOU!!!! You constantly say you don't understand what the rules are about. Time and time again two RO Instructor tell you to take the classes and even point out the PROPER way to get rules modified. You, however, continue with you adolescent whining and tirades against the established rules. It is not just this post, it is every post you are involved with, both here and on the SASS Wire. You are a chronic malcontent!!!!!!

Well, you could alway go over to Historic 3 Gun, they allow any material for base pads, and leave the Wild Bunch shooters alone.

Read the rules, take the SASS RO classes. Then follow the rules, and don't be like El Chapo and expect the rules to be changed to suit you and your wishes. It really is very simple, play the game by the written rules.

It's a totally legitimate question and suggestion, don't be discouraged. But yeah, anytime you tell people that certain ancient standards should be modernized, it's like you kicked the hornet's nest. with many of these people. This isn't the first time or context where you will see this sort of response. Just search "power factor" or "classic" or "open category" around here and read what resulted when there were minor changes to the rules that changed nothing for the people who were already shooting WB.

Because somehow my opinion would be better than yours if I met your preconceived standard? You're the one hurling insults at someone who dares have a different opinion than you.

Despite my best efforts to ask a simple question without causing a battle, I failed. I must say that bickering like this is far worse for the game than any rules or changes. I think anyone reading this who was considering WB has run off like their hair was on fire. And Seth, I’m getting a little slower every day:) see you at the Muster!

Just trying to ascertain your credentials in wild bunch. If you want to be this way, ok, bye.

I stand by my comment!!! Your attitude is counterproductive to the advancement of this game. The game has rules, play by those rules. They evolved after years of people with your attitude, and worse, drove hundreds of shooters away. Misty, and the Board has worked hard to enact changes that MANY shooters were begging for. Shooters are coming back to WB, I became an instructor for WB because I believe in what is being done. Quit acting like a spoiled crybaby, play the game and encourage people to have fun, instead of your constant stream of vitrol you spew because we are not a cookie cutter of every other action handgun game you claim to excel at!!!!!!!!!

I expect that you will also be using paper shotgun shells, because there were no plastic ones in 1913. I assume also that your rifle isn't a .38 Special, .357 Magnum, or .45 Colt because there was no such thing as a lever action rifle in any of those cartridges then, either. Common sense should have prevailed a long time ago on the magazines, just like it did for these things.

Because "elsewhere" is not based on the movie The Wild Bunch. More like Rambo meets Lethal Weapon meets HALO. Different genres. and, as for thickness, stack them, as long as they don't exceed 1/4 inch.

Right, they do that in wild bunch because we have no other options. Virtually everyone shooting 1911s anywhere else is using a mag with an actual basepad. The Mernicle leather pads are unfortunately not 1/4" thick. I made some of my own, and they aren't either. I wish I had a source for leather that thick, even the full 1/4" feels like it'd be an advantage.
