Flying W Ramrod

Thanks Pard, Think these are the ones I've seen.

Just got the info Ed Brown Mags can be in any condition but has to have spring and follower. $10.00/mag plus shipping. Pard sent 28 bad mags, got 28 new and, with shipping to Arizona, about $300.00

Checking on info. There was a company, good mags, that would exchange beat up mags, as long as follower and spring were still there, and give back a new mag. It wasn't a 1 for 1 but still.... I'll let you know what I find.

You're right. I only knew what I read on their website. Thanks for pointing this out. I've seen mags, in wb. that had two screw holes in the baseplate. I'm not sure if these were for base pads, but it appeared so. Again, thanks for pointing this out.

If you bothered to read the description, it states the poly/alloy pads are REMOVABLE. basepad (BP-P-.500 // BP-A-.500) Polymer or Alloy // Removable // .500" height

Tripp Research Inc links to Cobra Mag for Tripp Magazines. The 8R-45-RG and the 8R-45-RG-TAC have removable, poly, base pads and offer, removable, alloy base pads. 8 Round .45 Government 1911 Magazine

Aluminum I can see. It was widely use in WWI for combat related items. Plastic, not until WWII.

"Single Stack" is the name of the division, but it is 100% 1911 Single Stacks, no other gun is allowed. As I agreed with, however, according to USPSA Single Stack rules. Major calibers are 40 S&W, 10mm, .45acp. 8 round mags Minor calibers are .38 super, 9mm. 10 round mags. Of those who shot USPSA Single Stack Championship, 2/18/26, how many use something other than a .45acp? According to USPSA 106 used the Major PF while 129 used the Minor pf. Maybe I'm confusing Base pad with Base plate. Most mags have a welded base plate, to which is fastened a base pad. Some are leather, legal in SASS, others are plastic, aluminum, rubber, etc, which are not legal in SASS. You pays your money, you play by the rules. Don't like the rules? Lobby to have the changed.

Single Stack, being the operative word. USPSA allows .38 cal for all Divisions except Major (.40cal) Well, according to, both, USPSA and Practiscore, 235 shooters finished, 11 others DQ'd. As it, also, lists Classic .45acp, I'm assuming that refers to those who shot .45acp vs .38, 9mm, etc Based on Practiscore information: You finished 113rd, Minor PF (125pf) Wild Bunch is more like USPSA multi gun. At the last USPSA Multi Gun Championship, there were 122, registered, shooters, down from 188 the year before. Again, most Wild Bunch shooters use base pads. Leather base pads. Some shooters do shoot with no base pad, I know a couple. According to them, their magazines seat better without a base pad. They're top shooters so I'm not going to tell them they're wrong. It works for them.

He might be referring to the Western States Single Stack Championship at Rio Salado, February 18, 2026. There were 224 shooters finish the match, of which, 73 were in "Classic .45acp". The others were some other version of single stack pistol Western States Single Stack Championship 2026 | PractiScore

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

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

So, how long have you been shooting WB?

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.

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.

Just about every shooter in Wild Bunch uses a 1/4 inch, leather, baseplate cover on their mags. WBAS SHB PG 12 "A base pad may be added to the magazine if it meets the following requirements: it must be made from natural leather material only. It must be no larger than the contour of the base of the magazine. The total thickness of the pad may not extend more than ¼” beyond the original base plate." Mernickle sells them by the 10 unit lot 1911 Wild Bunch Mag Pads – Mernickle Custom Holsters You don't have to use the metal baseplates bare, but you can't use plastic. Darkmoor Armory motto "death before plastic"

I dunno. The 1/4" leather pad seems to work for everyone else.

Just the leather base pads. Don't think the TG/ROC will budge on this.

Remedial counting lessons 😄

A lot of folks use it to ensure PF in case there's a challenge.

SHB Pg. 10. 4th line down. "Any firearm modification not referenced in this handbook is prohibited." So, nope.

SHB Page 10, 4th line down. "Any firearm modification not referenced in this handbook is prohibited." So, nope.

Every reference to Shotgun modifications, found in the SHB pg. 18,19, state if found on the original firearm type. If there was a shroud and/or bayonet lug on an original Model 12, it's acceptable to install a new one.

You, again, are wrong. The members suggest things to their TG's. The TG's discuss these suggestions and, if warranted, have clubs vote via the TG's. Then, if it's not a potential liability to SASS where HQ has to step in, the results of the vote are adopted. His suggestion, may or not be determined to be valid enough to warrant a club vote. Again, if you don't like SASS go somewhere else.
