What size wheels are you gonna use?

Angel_Eyes · January 10, 2010, 08:08:56 AM

Guess who's got a shoulder stock he ain't doing anything with

Guess who lives all the way across the Atlantic

Yep!!!

I'LL TAKE IT!!!!!....lol...just kidding. Just wanted to beat Wolfgang to the line for a change!

Wolfgang - I'm jealous that you have such a big wrench! That's a nice one! Remember I wanted all of those hacked off barrels from you guys that took a sawsall to your guns to make them stubbies - if you send me the old barrel you took off of that I could get my rifle built quicker!

You sure do some pretty work and I enjoy the photos of the finished producgts. If you ever do custom work, let me know. I'd happily buy another Remy if I could get you to fit it with a nice long bayonet!

I hope you'll post a photo of it when you get it fitted with a stock - it will be a beauty I'm sure!

Wolfgang · January 10, 2010, 06:47:51 PM

I hadn't considered a bayonet

Angel_Eyes · January 11, 2010, 06:01:02 AM

Hey Wolfie, sent you a PM and e-mail with piccies, just in case you ain't looked yet.

(Don't show these other guy's, they will only try to outbid you)

NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID, BILLY!

If he gets a bayonet fitted to that thing......

If'n he does, I wanna see the holster...

bedbugbilly · January 11, 2010, 12:28:28 PM

The more I've been pondering on it - think how pretty that wsould be . . . . a nice brass frame Remy with one of those nice long brass handled bayonet with a knife blade about eleventeen inches long. I hadn't considered the holster situation though . . . . . think about sliding that contraption back in to a long holster strapped to your side . . . you'd probably have to tie the holster off at your ankle and walk stiff legged - maybe that's why Chester walked that way in Gunsmoke? I guess it could give new meaning to the phrase of "being in a prickly situation".

I guess that you might want to consider steel toed cowboy boots? I'll have to ponder on that a little while longer . . . . . .

That's what I love about this board - lots of good fellas who aren't afraid to be creative and share their ideas . . . . .

Angel_Eyes · January 11, 2010, 12:50:40 PM

Fessin' up time!!!

I made a complete cobblers of what the stock I have is supposed to fit.

It is for the Colt 1860,,,not the Remmy '58,,,I completely forgot about the '60, only had it for a short time.

The mounting lugs on the '58 must have thrown a spanner in the works,,,apologies to Wolfgang for getting his hopes up.

The way I heard it, Chester was quick on the trigger but a mite slow on the draw.

bedbugbilly · January 11, 2010, 08:46:26 PM

Daniel - I think that you are 100% right on Chester. My pa always told me Chester got that way from falling out of Miss Kitty's 2nd story bedroom window trying to put his boots on while Sherriff Matt was coming through the door but he had a tendency to embelish things just a mite! I'm glad you set me straight on that 'cause what you said makes more sense than pa's story did.

Now - to get back to Wolfgang's problem with his newly created masterpiece . . . . . Angel Eyes - don't you fret none 'cause your stock is for a Colt instead of a Remy - it will still work for Wolfgang just fine. If he grinds down the mount on that puppy so it fits the contour of the Remy grip . . . all he's got to do is bore a hole through it and use a lag screw - I'd recommend a 1/2" by 6". I'd go to that size in case he gets carried away and puts a bigger load in 'er than he should. Now we don't want to start a big debate here - I know it's a brass frame an all - and the metal on the end of yer stock is brass - so he can make sure it won't go nowhere if he puts a second lag bolt in 'er - my pa always said two would hold better 'n one. Just to make sure though, he could wrap a muffler clamp anround the grip and over the end of the stock - he's got that big wrench so he should be able to tighten 'er down good!

And yes . . . I'm sure some of ya are a wondering . . . my wife tells me I'm warped too!

Bryan Austin · January 11, 2010, 09:37:56 PM

My nephew knows Chester. He said he enjoys talking about the Gunsmoke Days. They have a house boat in Eufalla, Ala. Thats what they say anyway!

Dennis Weaver died in 2006, though.

Wolfgang · January 12, 2010, 03:33:40 AM

Angel Eyes . . . ya didn't have to confess to everybody. Just to me was Enuf. Just be grateful that I knew the difference and ya didn't go shipping it to me

Aaaah Wolfie, so kind,,,but I had to, just to show that I am human and fallible too.

It's my wife you see,,,she allus say's,,," I wish I was perfect, just like you.!" (When I make some innocent comment!)

So there you go,,I ain't perfect no more,,,sob, sob!

Good luck with finding the correct stock.

AE

Wolfgang · January 12, 2010, 09:33:46 AM

I may just order one today from Dixie. The difference between the "sale price" at EMF ( where they don't have it ) and the regular price at Dixie is only $15.

Good shootin', . . . .

ps. noon-ish Pacific time . . . ordered a stock from Dixie.

Now . . . whur do I get a suitable bayonet ? . . . it is a civil war ( never existed ) gun. Do I need a confederate bayonet ?

Angel_Eyes · January 13, 2010, 03:19:24 AM

If'n you want to compete agin them thar Springfield and Bayonet combo's,,,you is gonna need one longgggggg pig sticker!!!

AE

Ah gestimate about,,oooh let me see now,,,,5 or 6 foot of steel should do it!!
