Sign me up in STORM.

My first new sixguns in seven years. I got rifles up the wahzoo over the last few years, but I just received a pair of Uberti 1860 civilian (3 screw frames and no cuts for stocks) Army.44s from Thomas Raether at BPstuff LLC up in Oshkosh. Took awhile because of the flooding (He was building an ark, I think) and a delay in getting backordered Treso nipples, but I got 'em.

I can recommend him and hope he didn't suffer too much water damage.

Next will be some grip work by Russ N. Hound and leather from Lefty McGovern in Upland, and at the rate I've been going, I should be able to shoot them in a match before the end of this decade.  I hope.

I GOT NEW TOYS!!!

My computer stopped doing photos over a year ago when I installed some Kodak software.  I haven't been able to find a cure for it yet.

How 'bout a crude artist's rendering?  :)

Love the 60 Army.  Congrats.  Mine's got the screws for the stock, but it was a gift and that's what matters in this case to me.  But just this weekend I was eyeballin' the frame, wonderin' what I'd have to order to end up with a blued screw that would fill the hole flush to the frame...  Just another excuse for tinkerin'.
I've got my excuses and I'm stickin' to 'em.

But I don't know any crude artists.

Ask Trinity.  That's more in his line.

Nope.  A week from next Saturday is going to be the earliest chance I get.  I'm finding that most of my ML stuff is not suitable or has vanished over the years.

I hear you there.

I sent a Navy I got while getting my brother one for re-enacting and ordered a second one from Mr Raether to match the one is sent him.  I am interested to hear back how you like yours after some range time.

I also recnetly acquired a pocket police in 36 caliber and  am hunkering to tey that one out a range in near term too.

Let us know when you bust some caps.

Woopsie daisy.  My wife just reminded me that I'm taking her to Sandy Eggo that weekend...something about I owe her a special weekend for being married to me for 43 years and not poisoning my breakfast or smothering me with a pillow.

Guess we just got postponed.
