Would this rig be legal for NCOWS?

Thanks all so much. It is nice to know one can jump in at any level and not be looked at cross-eyed. NCOWS truly feels like a great fit. I appreciate all the help and kind words that have been offered up. In time, as circumstances, and knowledge allow, I hope to surpass level three. Until then, I look forward to the journey.
It is great to meet all you fine folks!

Howdy Slydini,

I'm not sure where you are in Minnesota but there is an NCOWS Posse in Glenwood City, Wisconsin. Here is their website http://www.wowsinc.org/ Glenwood City is around 60 miles from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

It looks like their first match of the year will be held on May 7th.

The example shown in the second set of photos, is a reproduction of a Moran Brothers, Miles City, Montana Territory holster (pre-1889) and it does have the correct sewn in muzzle plug. It is also buckskin lined

Buck should know, unbeknownst to me, I purchased this rig from him!

I might add, it is one beaut of a rig!

My posse's range is 81 miles from my front door. 60 sounds great! You certainly will fit in! Hope you can make it to the National Shoot in Evansville, IN in June. The folks there make us very welcome and you will get a chance to see a broad range of gear. The shoot is a lot of fun and you would have a great time!

it is amazing to me how quick some people are to say something is not NCOWS leagal by just looking and not refering to the tally book. There are always 2 things to consider NCOWS legal according to the tally book and period correct. I think we tend to scare off some potential new members with a flat out NO!!!! instead of refffering to the tally book,(basicly the rules for our organization), and keeping in mind there are 3 levels of authenticity. It is up to each individual what level he or she wants to acheive.
