Boggus Deal

Wilson 1911s are too heavy for any wb category. A buddy weighed his for me @ 43.9 with a mag. My rock island (yes a know it has hogue laser grips, it's not a WB gun) it weighs 42.29 with a mag. So all I'm I'm asking is just add 2 ounces to the 1911 for both categories to alleviate the chance of someone unknowingly using an illegal gun. 

We're allowing carbon fiber magazine tubes on 38cal 60pf rifles and now there's an article in the chronicle about allowing semi automatic rifles in WB soo what's 2 ounces on a 1911? 

My modern gun started as a Wilson frame and slide. With all steel components and a full length guide rod, it’s well under the weight limit. I’ll weigh it later.  
I would check another scale. I’ve not weighed a Rock Island that heavy. Even guns with rails on it have been well underweight.

A Traditional Colt at 2lb 6 oz even.

 I'd bet a ruger sr1911 is way over weight. 

I bet not. With empty magazine, 2 lbs 6.2 ounces. 

Having weighed all the guns I’ve built and hundreds more at matches, I can tell you it’s hard to be more precise. 

Even if someone has the exact model, it may or may not weigh the same. If you like the gun, get it! If it turns out to be too heavy, there are several non permanent ways to lighten that one. 
Just an FYI, that target rear sight can be fragile for WB. I’ve had to replace several broken ones for people.

Me? No. I never did. You make inflammatory claims about a guy’s gun then get butt hurt when you get called out on it. Do you need clarification? 
Every manufacturer today has some caveat in their manuals about reloads, even your pet Colt’s. Have for years. And likely, every one here already knows that. For you to come here and act like his Iver Johnson is inferior because so is unnecessary. 

That’s not what you said. You said you wouldn’t have a gun that the manufacturer said you can’t shoot reloads in.

The catalog page for that gun includes this caveat: 

I would not have a gun for a sport that DEPENDS on reloaded ammunition with that restriction on it.  Just me, but those gentlemen are not granting the purchaser full use of the firearm that they built.  I don't buy Glocks for a similar restriction, either.

Does that include Uberti ‘73s?

The Tisas aren’t bad. They just need better sights.

You’d have to blacken the 3 Dot sights with a Sharpie or black paint.

Seems like last time this happened, Misty didn't know about it for a while until somebody contacted her on Facebook.

I tried calling the SASS office today. Wasn’t open.

Not flush.

Flush. 

No.

The answer was given, multiple times.

Any type of round, except live, left in any, cycleable, firearm is a no call if the action has been cycled. SxS cannot "cycle the action" therefore, any round left in the SxS is, either a MSV or SDQ. 

Again, not for the round but for NOT cycling the action.

So opening the action would not be considered “cycling” it?

Maybe the whole idea of doubles in Wild Bunch should be reconsidered…

Kirkpatrick Leather builds some really good Wild Bunch holsters and mag pouches.

I put Boggus’ firing pins in. Both my M12’s.  Also followed the instructions for removing the non essential parts. Both guns run perfectly. I did not put the new hammer springs in yet only because it appears to be a little more complex job than the FP’s. Boggus, if you have any tricks to ease that installation let me know.

I struggle with the same thing.  Having it on Tuesday is hard.  Thursday/Friday would be great.  

It just needs to be kept separate.

I think we need to take the equal standing seriously if we want this to happen.  "Wild Bunch is not a side match" needs to become our phrase.  I also think there should be a push for the Wild Bunch and Cowboy Action Shooting state matches to be at the same location and done during the same event.  Make it known that we won't be ignored and the recognition will come.  

The problem with having them at the same time is the Main Match is usually put on Thursday and Friday and the cowboy side match is Saturday and Sunday. When I held the WB state match as a stand alone event, we grew over 25% a year for five years even during the chicom pandemic. 
When the main match is held during the week, it’s hard for people who work to make it.

Isn't the validation the way you verify the good email? If you approve without a scammer could be admitted?

I’ve been on both so long I don’t remember how they do it. But it obviously wasn’t the same, as Dutch D. Moderator said it was, originally. I do know there seems to be a lot less scammer activity here than on the SASS wire.

Well, they surely did not do what the shooters wanted with the rifle and shotgun rules, did they? And it sure didn’t help attendance…

But if you want to keep believing that warm wet stuff running down your back is rain, be my guest!

And while you can take it up with the TGs, they have absolutely no say in the final decision regarding any rule. 

First rig: J.M. Ross belt, holster, mag pouches and ammo slide. Belt measures 46” to center hole sold

Second rig: second rig unmarked also 46” to center.sold

New in box unfired. Color cased. Besides Colt, the only US made GI pattern gun $1050 shipped

• Starting in 2019, we had three years of double digit growth at our State WB matches, then all the rule change rumblings started and we've been down shooters ever since. I know this is localized data, but it is consistent in the adjacent state matches I've shot.

Winter Range/EOT sold out every year even with an ever increasing cap until last year. For the past two years, it has not filled up.
