Yup.

Bout covers it....

Although I really like my 3 inch guns.... But, they were lucky ones I guess... Run just fine.

Have seen and heard I should be happy they do....

Caveat

NO aluminum frames........

Just sayin

Sure there is.

Search out Samuel Carpenter on this Forum, or J T Wild.

Believe they will be the instigators.....

Little early yet, but does not hurt to plan for sure.

It will be the Friday before WinterRange. As usual.....

Sure ya can just show, but it would be nice to warn em.

Feel free to e-mail me

wildbodietom@q.com and I will forward for ya.

Thanks

Bodie

Good luck with that.....LOL

Good luck in Utard land.

I had a box of big name defense 45 (50 in a box then) that the bell was still in all the cases.....like 25 thou worth....

Loooong time ago though.

That could have been fun.

Thats great on the W/W.

Usually 4-6 per box.

And yes, I have had a couple split or seriously bulged ones....

Chamber check even factory.

You will be amazed.............

I am referring to the interaction of the slide release and safety bar fitting.

There CAN be issue there.

Just sayin....

Thanks Lone Dog, but no, I surely ain't gettin rich.... LOL

And just for the record... Model 25's "sometimes" say "MODEL 12" on the barrel...I had one like that.

And yes, I lnew it was truly a Model 25.

It had (key word) nice wood. Gun is gone, but the wood is on one of my 12's.

So be careful out there folks.

If the left side of the receiver on the flat has a slot showing the slide action bar.... It isn't a "12"

Still nice guns however.

Winchesters attempt to save some costs on the Model 12.....

There is some fitting that can be off in the timing as well.

Best be have a Model 12 qualified smith have a look.

Wife is 5"2.

Shoots all of my BAMM rifles just fine.........

30/06, Krag (full rifle btw), 7X57, 6.5x55.

Just sayin.......

Each to their own I suppose.

It's a "side" match. What I have seen, shot off a bench, or sticks.

Some choose to do it from a "position" as well.

Seems pretty basic and the ultimate in simplicity rule wise.

Holy crap. There are literally millions of "legal" rifles from 150.00 to true collector four digit guns....

Can't really see an issue...... One can be created for sure...... Seems to be the way it is.... LOL

It's getting CaBoyish around here.......

Perhaps time for 3-gun again........

Geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Try to open up another thing to shoot. TRY to keep it simple. And off we go into this and that, etc.

My thought, doesn't matter really, is allowing an 03-a3 peep into the mix was questionable.... But seriously.

I guess I just don't get it really anymore.

We can rule, rule, rule. And somewhere, somehow, someone is going to want or ask "well can I do/use this"

It started simple. Now even BAMM is starting with all the what if's........

WWII as issued rifle to military.

Seems pretty simple.

We shoot made in 2015 1911's. So, do they need to manufactured prior to say 1945?????

The 1911 requirements have been so polluted to be period correct it's almost a joke.

But, we carry on.......

The bottom line is the person pulling the trigger.... Always has been, Always will.

Rant off.....

Flame on. 

Bein in Arizona, I tend to forget that fact.....

LOL

It;s great, shoot year around.

BUT, in the summer, not so much..... LOL

Tad warm...........

Contact Evil Roy I believe.....

He usually starts in on all the WR stuff around Decemberish.

Probably not cast in stone yet anyway.

It's August....

Shot both their overseas 6.5 new stuff.

Seems good.....

Figured a good way to get brass.....

See ya.

Cabelas has 6.5 by a couple different newly manufactured loaded, for under 20 bucks a box.

A couple of boxes will supply ya with brass.

Just sayin.

Rowdy is good.

They ain't 29's though.....

Makes ya respect a 1911 a bit however using the same loads.....

Allie, you guys do well there.

I kinda like the last stage you folks do, if you are still doin that...

The club I do WB for has about 75 registered shooters for WB.

We get 16-20 when it's sane to shoot, and 12-15 in the wonderful heat of summer.

Not everybody obviously shows up every month.

We have a great time, within the restraints of the particular venue.

Cannot really do downrange, but we can and do have, shall we say, some interesting scenarios. Some 20-25 yard pistol/rifle as well. Along with the infamous "Cowboy on the hill" Which, when weather permits will probably be five of those coming all in. Pistol counts are 25-30 usually, sometimes 35.

We do the best we can with what we have.

Have a set of at least 10 die hard regulars, which to me, is good.

I have elected to finish out the year with shooter option to either use the rifle, or shoot the pistol in place of the rifle at the rifle targets.

Will see how that all goes. That will at least give kind of a snapshot, albeit a small one, of the rifles place at least locally. The 38 inclusion did nothing to grow the shooters at all. Those that tried WB with their 38, just returned with a big bore rifle..... That again, is here. Hear that works in other places, although for the local, if allowed is fine I suppose. But does nothing IF any of those folks wish to attend other matches outside of that, or a sanctioned match. Also hear of clubs NOT using the rifle as well. Varies....

Also, offering the revolver (1917) in lieu of the 1911 to see if any interest in that, as some of the Caboy shooters have stated they would do that and shoot Wild Bunch then.

Just cannot wrap themselves around shooting a 1911 in SASS. Again, everyone is different.....

Thanks

Bodie

That was a Shotgun related question....

We move with the shotgun....

Have not seen any movement (yet anyway) with a BAMM rifle.... LOL

Boggus....

Well, ya certainly nailed some of my similar feelings.

This is a many opinionated subject to be sure...

Shooting of any type is subjective I feel, and the many venues available prove that.

This may not be the cup of tea, so to speak, for some folks.

It is however an option available.

To me, there is no "fix" to draw five thousand shooters into this.

Just my take. Every ones opinion will vary

Volatile subject to be sure.

Keep shootin....LOL
