Black Creek shoots this Saturday, 19 July. National Day of the Cowboy is 26 July, West Point will be shootin on that Saturday and I ain't ever seen a Hawaiian day at West Point. We'll be in our Cowboy Duds.

Pony Racer · July 17, 2008, 06:02:31 AM

Howdy pards - I will be at either West Point on the 26th or Pepper Mill on the 27th - still needing to do some last minute schedule adjusting with wife and her family as they come back from the Kentucky/Alabama whirlwind tour. I get to go on Kentucky part but have to be back to work early am on the 22nd.

Looking forward to seeing ya'll

MM - you think people will be ok if I shoot my 1873 French pistols for no score - I will be shooting them single action but they are single/double action. Arcey gave me the ok for Wakefield (as long as they shot for no score). Should I email Bob directly? No biggee either way.

Tricky Trina · July 17, 2008, 12:44:22 PM

Per Wikipedia:

Hawaiian Paniolo
The Hawaiian cowboy, the paniolo, is also a direct descendant of the vaquero of California and Mexico. Experts in Hawaiian etymology believe "Paniolo" is a Hawaiianized pronunciation of español. (The Hawaiian language has no /s/ sound, and all syllables and words must end in a vowel.) Paniolo, like cowboys on the mainland of North America, learned their skills from Mexican vaqueros.

Now we have all had a little edumacation! Didn't know this meownself.... thanks LR!

Wildcat Will · July 17, 2008, 06:32:20 PM

Good News!!

I am gitting the mule-eared external hammer SxS 12 gage back LCR all fixed and ready to go. I decided to name her after another firey gal who was a heck of a kick to shoot wit. .... Anne Lee

Arcey · July 17, 2008, 07:17:13 PM

Good call, Will. She'd be mighty proud.

Lucky Irish Tom · July 17, 2008, 09:04:00 PM

Yep I believe would too

Wildcat Will · July 19, 2008, 10:16:13 AM

Need a little help from my Va FB Posse. I picked up Anne Lee today and she is looking good.

But that is no surprise as LCR always does great work.

While I was at the gun shop I saw a cousin to Anne. A Stevens Model 311E SxS 12 gauge internal hammers. Action is tight, bores are clean and the wood looks good. I am guessing the barrels are 26 or 28 in. They want $275. What I need to know is, is that a reasonable price? Sounds reasonable and it would be nice to have another backup.

Tensleep · July 19, 2008, 10:45:19 AM

Take a look here WW

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Arcey · July 19, 2008, 11:12:18 AM

Thinkin' almost anythin' as you described is worth that in this day 'n age.

litl rooster · July 19, 2008, 12:03:33 PM

hard to find any model that works for under that

Sod Buster · July 19, 2008, 05:52:31 PM

Sounds like a reasonable price. Gor for it!

Look at this one:
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=104414597
It is in Chesapeake, VA but the wood isn't as good as on the one you describe.

Wildcat Will · July 19, 2008, 06:55:46 PM

Thanks for feedback pards. One thing I do need to look at a little closer is the firing pins. Being pretty ignorant about shotguns, what is the best way to check the firing pins; aside from shooting a couple of rounds? Is that likely to be a problem as long as they don't look obviously broken? I feel pretty confident looking over a revolver or pistol or rifle but not so much a shotgun. Seems kinda funny as I think there are probably fewer moving parts. Anyway your help here would be appreciated again.
