Hopefully, we'll be able to have our 1st match of the season at Jefferson on the 21st. Need the driveway that leads down to the town/range to thaw out.

My Running Iron is now at Taylor's shop. I have no idea what the turnaround would be, as I need a new cylinder in the proper caliber. I'm hoping that they can get it done soon, but I suspect they'll need a cylinder shipped from Italy to do it.

I'm sure it will thaw if the forecast is right...then the question will be if it dries out enough.

Picked a date for your next "Nostalgia Match"?
Lookin' forward to it

Everything I've heard of Taylor's has been positive, so I hope you have a speedy fix.
I need to make a trip to their showroom, but I know It will cost me.

Sept. of every year will be the "Retro/ Nostalgia" match.
Viper...what's your alias?? Do I know you? Is this MT Chambers??

It's not at nice as their showroom, but their display at the Chantilly Gun Show is pretty impressive. I'm really hoping it's only two weeks, but at least I'll have the revolver I want in the caliber I want.

Yep.
You had talked about maybe a spring and fall retro match.

After the Sept. match, I talked to a lot of the shooters about how they liked it. Everyone had a blast, but the consensus was; 2 a year would be over kill.
Personally, I would like 2 a year but as an MD, I have to go with what makes most of the shooters happy if I want them to come back and shoot with us.

Being a native American, I was very misled and disappointed by the title of this thread.

That was very funny!! I wonder who else understood your comment?

This Sunday is the first match of the year for the Pepper Mill Creek Gang. I have ONE working cartridge revolver and two C&B revolvers but no holsters. If the fine folks at Taylor's can get my Running Iron back to me this week, I'll be going.

Too bad you're not closer, you could use a pair of my Vaqueros, as long as you don't mind 44's

Hey Red Eye
Is Jefferson shooting or having mud-wrestling this weekend?

Hey Red Eye
Is Jefferson shooting or having mud-wrestling this weekend?

I'm going up the club this Thursday to check out the range. I'll put out an Outlaws group email and Roo will put out a group email to let everyone know what the call is by Thursday evening.
The area's calling for some snow on Fri., that has me concerned also.

My two 44-40s are needing of some smithing, and the Running Iron is in 44-40. And one of my 32-20s is down, too. I'm wondering if Atlantic Firearms in Rockville has a long BP holster in stock. Need to call them.

 

[jimbobborg]

I got an email back from Taylor's yesterday. They had to get a new cylinder from Uberti, which should be at their shop next week. So to recap, no SASS or 3-Gun this weekend. Feh.

 

[Viper21773]

Just read the e-mail, no shooting at Jefferson either. I'm really tired of winter.

Wild bunch match this weekend at Jefferson. Wish I could shoot but have a bun shoulder.
