  1. I guess since there is no longer a committee to settle nor is there a spokesman to say what the position is this it may be up to the WBAS TG's to settle. A sorry state.🤢
  2. Many years ago I brought this up to Texas Jack Morales and he said it was ILLEGAL, HOWEVER, I don't think we officially addressed it in the rules. With the new administration I have no idea officially, but I think it would be allowed.
  3. Wow, an ES of 100?? Thats terrible. An accident waiting to happen.
  4. I will agree with Deacon on mostly things, the only one I will comment on is magazines. They have changed a lot in recent years. McCormick was bought by Wilson and by far the most widely used by pro shooters and best magazines currently available for 1911s are the cobra mags from Tripp Research. Don't get me wrong I have had good results from Wilson, McCormick, real Colt, and Actmag, but I only shoot cobra mags anymore.
  5. While clearing long guns "on the line" has some appeal I doubt it will be approved for major matches. SASS makes the final decisions on rule changes for WBAS and the Unloading table is a sacred cow for them.
  6. 1911 "smiths" are a dime a dozen ???? There are a lot of gunsmiths, but VERY few 1911 pistol smiths. Bogus deal is one.
  7. The only gunsmith I know of who turns a 45 Colt into a 45ACP is Cody Connager. I think he still does them.
  8. I'm left handed too. The reverse magazine release is NOT allowed. THE safety is allowed.
  9. Schoen, since you haven't posted your location we don't know who to refer you to. SASS TG's have NO affiliation with the WBAS rules. CAS and WBAS are two completely different sports. Both operated under the SASS umbrella. WBAS has regional Ambassadors who act similarly to CAS TG's.
  10. One of the inside sayings in the industry for at least 30 years is: If you want a beautiful pistol get an Ed Brown, if you want an accurate pistol get a Les Baer, if you want a pistol that always runs get a Bill Wilson. Obviously some new names like Nighthawk come along but those earlier statements still hold true. As mentioned a Baer needs a few hundred rounds to break in as they are built so tight. i've owned several of the 3 aforementioned over the years. The statements held true for mine. ENJOY
  11. I'm not here to argue, but the Chinese clones (I have one) have all the correct arsenal markings as the original 1897 winchesters so they at least don't look like a regular gun with a heat shield added. As for a model 12 I don't know of a clone with arsenal markings. The Committee will discuss this issue as I stated earlier.
  12. As already stated modifying an original sport shotgun to make it appear like a "trench gun" is NOT listed as an allowable external modification. Real model 12 "trench guns" are extremely rare and collectable so seeing an actual one (not a fake) would be unexpected at a WBAS match. Model 12 "riot guns" without the heat shield etc. are not as rare and are legal under the current rues. The RO committee will put the issue of a real model 12 trench gun on the list for discussion. In the meantime I personally feel that it would be allowed but that is not an official final decision as the wording in the rule would need to be modified.
  13. Doc, it has always been ILLEGAL to modify an existing standard issue shotgun to look like it was a "trench gun" style. Adding the heat shield, bayonet lug etc. part is NOT listed as an allowable external modification.
  14. Frenchie. That shotgun with the front bead changed is LEGAL in your area. We are much more lenient in countries with stricter firearm laws than we are here in the US with wide availability of obviously legal firearms.
  15. Model 12's with a vent rib are pretty common and LEGAL.
