What a sweet little roller Jim! Nice writeup, too. Thanks.

Catshooter

Jim,

You're killing me here man! I can't tell how long I've looked for a 457191. I read an article by Gene Crumb (remember him?) about a thousand years ago where he used one and I've wanted to give it a try ever since.

Wanna sell it? Huh? Do you huh?

Catshooter

My understanding of the law as I read it is there zero circumstances under which an individual can use USPS to mail a handgun anywhere. I could be wrong, it's happened before!

Catshooter

Scott,

That is a beautiful roller.

One piece grips. Did Bowen cut Ruger's grip frame to make that work? I can't think how else he'd do it.

Catshooter

It's really too bad that we don't some sort of light source that would work off of electricity . . .

Catshooter

I do.

All cartridges short of the main gun on an Abrams can fall short from time to time. But the .45 has worked well for me.

Catshooter

Scott,

Tell us about the Smith, please.

Catshooter

Great story Jim.

And, as us old guys know, poop happens!

Catshooter

Nice work kid! You're a good mechanic. Those should shoot well, I hope they do!

Catshooter

Well, old eyes can be a hill to climb, but I promise sending a .457 bullet down a .460 bore will be trouble. At least in my experience. Keyholes wouldn't surprise me at all. Too, I agree that the base of that Lee looks . . . funny. Hope it works for you.

Trapdoors are fun. Good luck with yours!

Catshooter

Well, you get what you . . . oh you dog.

Catshooter

Practice runs for the real thing.

For me, one of the most needed skills in retirement was the ability to say "No". Some people can see your retirement as a vacuum needing to be filled, and they have just the things to do it! Your milage may vary, but as a retired electrician I have turned down a ton of work. I'll help thos...

Catshooter

Good deal he came through ok!

Catshooter

Now that he's convicted, the Left is outraged that he's being forced to share his cell AND his toothbrush with his attacker. Poor, sweet, Jussie.

Catshooter

That's a great post Jim. This forum really needs a "like" button!

Catshooter

I wondered. The factory stock photos make the pistol look unbalenced (the barrel too short for the butt) but yours don't. Nice looking rollers.

Catshooter

Scott,

Is that Cimmaron a three inch? Sure is purdy.

Catshooter

Thanks for the info marlinman.

Catshooter

How much was it a pound? Is there HazMat shipping with BP?

Catshooter

Nice story CRS. I can imagine quite a bit of smoke in your eyes, not surprisingly! My first that I bought with my own hard-earned was a new S&W 29-2 8 3/8ths inch. Man, would that thing shoot! Ammo was mighty expensive so casting & reloading was the answer. A single cavity Lyman 429421 and a...

Catshooter

I have heard people tell me that the 1911 is not accurate. I have never found it to be anything other than accurate. Most firearms are more accurate than the person holding them. This is not a thing most persons care to admit. It's easier to blame the machine. Especially when you're speaking of han...

Catshooter

Good luck young man!

Good story Jim, I enjoyed it.

And this is the best idea I've heard all week: " There are places in New Mexico where you could hide Los Angeles and it would take you a week to find it! "

See? Even the old-timey cowboys knew about Liberals!

Those lefty-1911 Randall's were sweet. I'm ambidextrous and many's the time I saw those at the gun show. Was very tempted over the years, but never bit on one.

Cat

Catshooter

Jim,

That ACP roller is the cat's pajamas for sure! Does it also shoot Auto Rims? I want it badly. Badly, I tell you.

The candle is lit.
I only have 3.
Best try to get here by Thanksgiving.

This forum badly needs a like button!

Sorry, but I must insist on pics. Or it didn't happen.

Cat

Catshooter

Neat old stuff Earl. The wood pieces are called 'handguards". He loaded some good calibers. .222, 6.5 & the great '06 cover a lot of ground. Not much you can't do with those.

Cat

Catshooter

I think I will Jim. I have an old 1911 that could use some new shoes. Thanks.

Cat

Catshooter

Thank you both. He doesn't have a website I take it.

Cat

Catshooter

It's a nice looking 1911.

Wow! Yes, I'd have to agree the man does nice work. Thanks for the pics.

Edit: I've looked on the 'puter and can't find any way to contact Paul. Do you have any contact info?

Cat

Catshooter

Them is purty grips Jim. $250? Mmm, makes a guy think.

What's the story behind the finish on that .45? Come that way or what? I know it's a cheap one, but it's got some really clean lines. Looks well made.

Cat

Catshooter

Pretty cool Jim.

Green is generally easier to see, at least for most eyeballs.

Nice old Colt. What load is in the gun when you carry it?

Cat

Catshooter

What an excellent club/program! What a ball that could be Earl. Too bad I live in South Dakota.

Cat

Catshooter

I'm sure that'll do the trick.

For me, sticky extraction is enough to make me back down until it goes away. A few feet per second isn't worth trying to find a new extractor for an out-of-production rifle.

Good luck with the hunting!

Cat

Catshooter

That looks to be a helluva lot of fun.

How hot was it?

Cat

Catshooter

Very cool roller Jim. Shows lots of shooting & love. How many rounds through it?

Cat

Catshooter

"winds up with a little 9mm recoil-maker with rudimentary sights, puts a few painful rounds inaccurately downrange, and after that is too embarrassed to practice" Or even worse, does the same thing with a tiny no-to-hardly-any sights .380! And they think they're armed & dangerous. Cat

For years I carried a cut-down Old Model Ruger .357 Single Action as my carry gun. Never had a problem concealing it. I would carry it still if my fingers were as nimble as when I was in my 50's and early 60's. Ooooo, Jim, you got a pic of that old, worn-out beat-up hardly worth looking at sixgun? ...

Catshooter

Quite a few people carry a roller. I'd be comfortable with a Charter Bulldog, I'm just more comfy with a .45 bottomfeeder. However, " I had a situation where I took out my pistol to chamber a round " that made me raise an eyebrow. Were you carrying it with an empty chamber? You're a man of...

Catshooter

Cool story Jim.

What did your dad like for a load/loads for his 686?

Cat

Catshooter

Jim!

You are a shananagator!

You trying to get ol' Six banned?

Cat

Catshooter

Jim, you're a shananigaotr from way back, I can tell. That's an shenanigan instigator in case y'all were unfamiliar.

Depend on the child, wouldn't it?
