VA FIRE and BRIMSTONE POSSE

Pony Racer · August 11, 2011, 05:04:14 PM

If I shoot saturday I don't know if I will be able to pick up the Major.

When you have shot at TenZ and Ms Annie's when are you usually done?

I think the shop is open until 530pm and i think if they know I am coming they will wait a little bit for me...

I haven't shot there in awhile PR, but as I recall we usually finished around 3:00 - 3:30 PM

Sod Buster · August 11, 2011, 07:24:07 PM

As of right now (8:12pm Thursday), the weather forecast for this weekend is:

Saturday @ LR: 30% chance of isolated Thunderstorms.
Sunday (Waverly, VA) 60% chance of sctattered strong to severe thunderstorms.
Sunday (Thurmond, MD) 60% chance of scattered strong thunderstorms.

Looks Like Saturday might be the best day to shoot.

LIT sent you a pm.

I left message with Nate last night but will get back with him this am to make sure the C&B's come to the shop with him (they may be there already - but I am not sure).

Went by and picked them up, and the actions work better than my Rugers, it's hard to believe they are cap & ball guns. He also gave me two holsters for the 60's a two cavity conical mould and a box with about 50 cast and lubed conicals. One heck of a deal, especially when I only expected to get the guns and the extra cylinders.

When I got home I tried thenm out in the holsters Mitch made for my 58's and the 60's fit them perfectly.

I plan to shoot them at the next match I get to.

I watched Nate at the Md. State blackpowder match shoot rifle targets with them. They are a great set of pistols. I'm sure you will enjoy them

Lucky Irish Tom · August 13, 2011, 08:52:53 PM

I think if I get Nate to slick up my 58 Remmies I will have the perfect Josie Wales setup.

Pony Racer · August 14, 2011, 03:26:07 PM

Major Belch followed me home - pics to follow.

Nate also finished another pair of pistolas he had for some time.

I have OT and conversion disease.

2 sets 44spl/colt/russian OT's (one pair antiqued & one pair CCH - 5-1/2 inch).

2 sets of 51 38spl conversions (one pair gated left full length & one pair with older back plate conversions - cut to 5 inch)

1 set 38 spl OT's (CCH 5-1/2 inch).

Thankfully i trade for most of them or parts...

one pair antiqued.....................

Nate left 'em out in the rain?

Pony Racer · August 15, 2011, 05:36:01 AM

Actually our pard Frio made them for hiss but then decided he was not going to shoot 44 russian.

They are very nicely antiqued and smoothed before Nate ever touched them.

Frio did tell me that he probably won't antique another pair except maybe for hisself - evidently to do it right is a ton of work!

Hoping to shoot with ya'll soon!

Lucky Irish Tom · August 15, 2011, 04:12:26 PM

When you do I will most likely be shooting the 60's. Plan to go ahead and cast up some more conicals and go get some more caps.

Pony Racer · August 16, 2011, 05:58:50 AM

Calling the RMC dude today and see if I can get the brass to come in.

I think with my 12 guage tools I can probably load the 10 guage shells.

Also calling the guys at Rugged gear and ordering a USCG styled rugged gear cart! They were willing to work with me on the fabric and only charging 40.00 extra for the work - I think thats pretty good deal!

Won't be ready for the state shoot but shortly thereafter!

Not sure if I will shoot Sunday but hoping I can - may even have my Sarah (Cowgirl name still TBD) with me to watch.

I left some voicemails too...he doesn't seem to return calls very well.

Pony Racer · August 17, 2011, 05:38:31 AM

Yep SB you are right!

But I did get confirmation that Trapper Dan got my form and I am set.

Wahoooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sod Buster · August 17, 2011, 12:06:47 PM

He hasn't answered my email either.

Other than that I should be ready for the state match. Lookin' forward to seeing all y'all.

Pony Racer · August 17, 2011, 02:13:33 PM

Are you using right email?

I sent him one a couple weeks ago and it was an older address he no longer uses.

I went to their clubsite last night and sent him an email from that and it was answered before i woke up this am.

BTW how did the Maryland BP match go?

Sod Buster · August 17, 2011, 06:11:21 PM

PR,
It was the email listed on the website ('rmc@vcn.com'). Is there another one ??

I screwed up on the MD Blackpowder shoot.....it is this coming Sunday (8/21). It is a good thing I didn't drive up there!

Pony Racer · August 17, 2011, 07:58:07 PM

Thats good that you did not drive up there for nothing!

I sent you an personal message - you are using an old email for TD.
