Yo the Posse

Katie B did awesome at her horse show.

On top of that even though there are only 3 kids in her middle school team (most others have 7 or more) her middle school team placed as reserve champions for saturday - wahoooooooooo.

Katie earned another 2nd and 1st in her classes and is set for going to regionals in both of her classes.

Go Katie B!

Get some good eats at the Apple House if you can!

Big mistake this morning. Went out to EMF and was looking at the 1860 Sheriff. Purrrrrdy. A pair with the Kirst conversions would run about $1200. Not sure I could convince the wife it was a necessary purchase. They shur do look purdy though and the force is strong.

Maybe without the conversion.......huuuuummmmm

oh my the force is very strong.

Pony Racer · January 26, 2012, 06:38:38 AM

And Nate can make them run great. Less work with the 44 C&B's since the barrels do not need any sleevingto shoot 45's like the 36's do if you want to shoot 38spl.

He might ask you why you bought new C&B's to convert vice looking for a nicely used pair...since he and I have had that conversation twice!!!

I am already salivating at possible conversion of the Rogers Spencer...and that would be BP 45lc load!

WW - no peer pressure from me - BUT I LOVE MY CONVERSIONS!!!!

Wildcat Will · January 26, 2012, 04:22:03 PM

If ya'll know of a place to look for some used ones PLEASE let me know.

The force is getting VERRRRRRRRRRRY strong!!!!

Sod Buster · January 26, 2012, 05:30:37 PM

What?!?
Wildcat Will might switch from his trusty Rugers?

Who knows...if we all switch to Cap 'n' Ball (we don't need no stinkin' conversions) we could have a real blast!

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

Wildcat Will · January 26, 2012, 09:35:32 PM

SB them open tops sure looked nice. Cap and ball gunfighter. Hmmmmmmmmmm It is starting to get crowded in the FCGF. Maybe it is time to move to Frontiersman GF

I can't imagine you shooting in Cap n Ball that's not cannon sized. Maybe like a Hotchkiss

Wildcat Will · January 27, 2012, 04:19:17 PM

LR I can get the Sheriff model in 44. Heck that's only .01 from my 45s.

Lucky Irish Tom · January 27, 2012, 05:13:17 PM

I see WW with a pair of Walkers in his hands, only way he can get enough powder in a pistol to get a sufficient BOOM!

Lucky Irish Tom · January 27, 2012, 05:20:32 PM

I hope to be at Waverly next Saturday WW, you can try my 1860's iffen ya want. I'm hoping to give them a good break in for the match.

Pony Racer · January 27, 2012, 06:34:26 PM

You can convert them bad boy Walkers TOO!:)

Off to Winchester tomorrow boys going to swing by Taylors too!

Wildcat Will · January 28, 2012, 05:36:08 AM

Ok. I've seen too many folks have problems with the Walker loading arm come loose from the barrel when shooting. I'm sure they can be fixed but to be honest I prefer the look of the 1060 Army better.

I have permission from the CFO for the purchase.

However I was looking at the Kirst converters at EMF and they are only 5 shot. Clearly that will not do.

I'm sure I can get the six shot we need for our purposes but where would ya'll suggest? Also is there anything else I need to get other than the cylinders to convert over to cartridge?

LIT I would indeed like to try them out before I invest.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Pony Racer · January 28, 2012, 01:19:40 PM

R&D makes converters too. The Kirst 5 shot converters are SASS approved because there is a rest spot for the hammer that acts as the "empty chamber".

Sometimes the converters go right in - sometimes the timing needs to be tweaked.

What I would do is put them together and unless they feel real good from get go - take the converters and pistolas to Nate and ask him to time them up and smooth them.

I have 2 cases of DB BP 2F powder from Back Creek in Winchester and some extra supplies for me from Taylors.

I had to work hard to behave in that store - boy could i have put some hurting on any or all of my accounts in that store!

Some smoke is gonna be made!

Wildcat Will · January 28, 2012, 07:49:06 PM

PR Glad to hear you made it back safe and sound. Let's talk next Sat about pistolas. I'm giving some real thought to not converting them and shooting cap and ball. The price of getting enough cylinders to load at the beginning of the day is too much. Might get a couple of spares but that would be like getting a couple of conversions. Not sure which way to go. Hoping LIT will make it to the match Saturday so I can try out a couple to see how they feel shooting as a gunfighter. If I go C&B may have to consider some new leather to go along with them. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Amazing how it just starts adding up.
