  1. The clubs where I shoot local WB matches have used what some call "Mild Bunch" rules for a long time, in an attempt to get more participation - any SASS legal rifle, any centerfire 1911, 87 shotguns OK, no power factors. And, it worked! We had a lot more shooters come out than if we had gone strictly by WBAS rules. The new rules make almost all of that official & makes the double legal (which several potential shooters asked us to do, but we just offered to loan our 97s or 12s). If the intent is to increase participation, then the rule changes will likely succeed. All that said, I have always used equipment & ammo that conformed fully to WBAS rules & will continue to do so. I have always enjoyed "old school" WB so why should I change? Holler
  2. I spray Ballistol inside the receiver through the ejection & loading ports, spray the outside of the magazine tube then run it like a rented mule! Holler
  3. SASS made the 12 legal not long after I shot my first WB match (borrowed a 97 from Abe E.S. Corpus for that one) so I bought a 12. I found a 12 on gunbroker for less than $300. It was made in 1927, the bluing has turned the nice antique brown & the action is smooth but not overly light. The stock had a crack through the pistol grip, but I glued that & you can barely tell it is there. I cut the barrel to 20", put on a new bead & have not done anything else to it. It shoots great if you run it like you stole it. I have seen 97s break right & left over the years but have yet to see a 12 failure that wasn't shooter-induced. I shoot a double for CAS so I refuse to own a 97! Holler
