Boggus Deal

In cowboy, Pale Wolf Brunelle likes to call it RO3. It’s called common sense. Never had to put it that way in Wild Bunch until recently. It’s been perfectly legal to blacken the three dots on Traditional pistols since at least 2009, when I started shooting Wild Bunch.
It was that way when I became an Ambassador in 2012. It was that way when I was invited to join the Wild Bunch Rules Committee in 2017.

I've asked about blacking out sites.  ROC member said "No, they are still 3 Dot and not allowed".  I have since replaced the sites with those specified by the WB handbook.  

Not sure who told you that but they were wrong. It’s always been legal to blackout 3 dot sights. 

They get pretty crudded up. The plunger gets kind of sticky. I would remove the safety button, plunger and spring and give them all a good cleaning.

Would you mind sending me instructions?  I won one in a raffle at Geronimo Trail and have yet to get to it.

On the way!

Thanks for the kind words.

Wilson frame and slide. Full length guide rod. All steel parts except trigger and stocks. 2 lbs 7.3 oz.

Also, the carbon fiber mag tubes are liners inside the steel tube. It’s not seen.

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.
