Joe - Tully I want to thank both of you for your replies. I again took out the spring, reversed the spring, and cut a turn off of the coil. Now I can just BARELY get in 6 shells. I suspect later today a new spring will be on order. This is really funny to me. Before I stretched the spring, 6 Winchester Super X shells could fit in the magazine tub with about 3 millimeters of play and now, like I mentioned above 6 will just barely make it in. Joe - I really appreciate the time and consideration you spent on your answer. Your answer was concise and informative. I always enjoy reading your answers to questions on both of the Cowboy forums. You are always 'spot on' with no politics involved. Tully - yup, I and probably 5 others will be invading Cowboy Town tomorrow morning to shoot Sutter's WB Stages. The weather over Carson Pass and at the range looks like it will be fairly nice for for this time of the year. Also thanks for your generous offer of a 'new' spring, however I think I will pass. If the silly thing does not work, I will borrow one of the NV scatterguns to compete. The more I think about it, I will order a new WB Spring Kit right after I am finished here rather than the continued screwing around with something that is 60 years old. Thanks again - J.J.

Hello I am rather new at this WB stuff so sometimes I struggle with some things. Here is my problem: My 97 was modified a couple of years ago to accept 6 rounds. Last summer, as well as last fall, it loaded and cycled 6 shells just like it should. Tomorrow myself and a bunch of other guys are attending a WB Match in CA. Yesterday, just to see if the gun would again cycle the 6 shells I stoked it up. 5 shells cycled properly and the 6th shell hung hug up between the tube and lifter(?). I assumed that the spring was not strong enough to push out the 6th shell. Well - I took off the plug on the shell tube and stretched out the spring just a smidgen or two and put everything back together. Now I can only get in 5 and 7/8ths of the 6th shell. Any ideas what I may have done incorrectly and more importantly, how can the problem be corrected? Thanks for any help you may offer. J.J. High Plains Drifters and Roop County Cowboys Fernley NV

Can you delete matches already scored - Yup - with a push of the 'Edit' button and another push of the 'Delete' button, that particular match is as if it never was.

Just looked today at the price of iPads. A good used iPad runs something like $170. The ACES Program is 'Free' through iTunes or Google Play Store. Program can either be downloaded for iPads or tablets. Much experience with both. ACES works much easier through iPads.

ACES and Wild Bunch Yup - We have used ACES with Wild Bunch and Plainsman Matches here in Northern Nevada with great success. All you have to do is enter a new 'Category' for the matches. ACES is simple to use and the results are instant. No more keying for someone after the match. However - there is an associated learning curve on how to get the results printed. Anyone with a little computer knowledge can easily handle it. If you need any help, please contact me. Would be glad to help you out.
