If you’re still wanting one. I think I have n extra. And since I’m not staking another one, it will be for sale. Dovetailed is the only way to go.

Happy New Year to you! 

It really used to be a LOT clearer. But the writers of the new rule books don’t quite understand.

There rule book is pretty clear….

Merry Christmas to all you reprobates!

I find it very strange that people are so opposed to shotgun makeups.  I just don't get it.

Can’t make up rifle or pistol…

Yep, Brownells also has a tool that is the same design, if you want one pre-built for your own.

Mag tube dent raiser

Pretty pricey, though.    A guy with a lathe could turn one real quick. 

 

And this one is pretty reasonable and claims it protects from over-expanding the mag tube.   From Defender Tactical.

Defender Tactical dent removal tool

 

good luck, GJ

Both of those are for a specific purpose on Remington shotguns and likely wouldn’t work on a tube with a dent 4-6” down the tube.

I just bought a 1950 Winchester model 12 takedown in 12 gauge for Wild Bunch. 6 of my snap caps fit in the tube, but when I put the 6th one in, I feel the follower get stuck, or at least it gets stuck when I cycle the action quickly. It’s fine when I only put 5 in the tube. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

And for future reference, all Model 12s are takedown. Even the Model 12 Featherweights are takedown. They only hold 4 rounds. The Model 12 “solid frame” is called the Model 25.

Yep, just took it apart and found a very small dent and a slight ridge on the inside. looks like a weld repair. Any pictures of those tools? i need something long enough to reach down into that tube to grind out the ridge.

Both very highly polished and used very gently. The round mandrel is a very snug fit inside the mag tube.

Probably a dented tube. I see it often. I have a mandrel and a body hammer that I use to fix that problem.

Since the rules specifically say 1911 and 1911A1 pistols and their clones are legal, there should be no question of the legality of the wide spur hammer.

Why would you want to use a Winchester 25?  The magazine capacity is limited.  97"s and 12's are available, as far as slide-action shotguns are concerned..

The Model 25 holds 6…..

The Model 12 Featherweight only holds 4. 

Sorry for your loss. This is the Wild Bunch wire. The time period is a little later than what you have there. I would suggest going to the SASS website and look for a cowboy action club near you. Reach out to them.

I hope it’s a great day!

Who knew that we could once use a 1911 pistol in .40 caliber?

Who knew the rule changes a couple years ago wouldn’t work and they would have to bring back the old rules? 
Oh, wait! Everyone but the ones making the rules…

Howdy, have a trigger question for traditional. Is the over travel screw allowed?  I understand solid and no lightweight match but having trouble finding a solid trigger without the over travel screw. Thank you

Yes, it is legal but if you want a solid trigger with no screw, I can help. I’ve always hated the screw. There are better ways.

From the announcement

3. Teddy Roosevelt and Doughboy will no longer be official WBAS Main match categories. They will be moved back to WBAS Side match status.

What could have been stated is that because some ranges are not able to accommodate the required distances, clubs are not obligated to offer Teddy Roosevelt and Doughboy.  Doing so allows clubs the option

A local club can still do as they please. And should.

Guess I'm going to have to figure out who my TG is and express my displeasure. 

 

I think I know who it is but he hasn't attended a match in well over a year.☹️

And probably not asked your club members opinions on the issues…

Can someone post that in non Word for those of us who don't have it?

Kirkpatrick are by far the best. Check with Taylor’s & Co. 

It will hold 6 shells. May have a plug in it but take it out and it will hold 6.

I'm curious if anyone is aware of a shooter's 1911 being disqualified for overweight at a WB match?

I’ve not DQd a shooter but I made them swap guns. Just like a very nice lady whose husband had given her a liteweight Kimber to shoot. She did not speak English and had no idea. Her husband was an a*^. If he had been shooting the gun, I would have DQd him.

I’ve worn a tied down holster since I started shooting Wild Bunch. And no one ever said a thing. But that was when common sense ruled. 

Most people run 20-22”. Some like a little short. Some longer. It’s a matter of personal preference.
