That swell trigger mechanism is $60 on Amazon.
Here is a terrific resource for slinging. I never got very good at it.

Grizz, you have seen wonderful things!

Bill in Oregon

Jason, thanks for taking us along. Cabins, dogs, guns, chainsaws -- and I can smell the damp conifers. That looks like it could even be in Oregon.

6pt, that's awesome!

Sweet. Bought a 4-inch 28 the day I turned 21.

Will, my late friend Chick Donnelly, of Siskiyou Barrel Works in Applegate, OR, held Parker Ackley in great reverence after his time at Trinidad. Ackley told a funny story or two at Elmer Keith's expense, having been the supervisor at Ogden Arsenal with Keith worked there.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks for posting Jason. I was getting worried about you.

Bill in Oregon

Hope they treat you really well. We are under a tornado watch here in west central Texas, but I think and hope the threat has passed.

Bill in Oregon

Yeah. He is holding it with the bottom of the action toward the camera, oversize lever open. It has a tube magazine. Hope the receiver is something other than die-cast zinc!

Looks like there's one in the works, to be built at a new plant in Canada.

Glad to have you here sir. Owning two cans makes you a certified enthusiast.

Bill in Oregon

John, glad you finally made it through the turnstyle, and boy that's a dandy buck! I still have my old Lee Loader for 16 gauge, but haven't seen a canister of Alcan 7 in many a year.

Bill in Oregon

Harold: Very nice indeed!

Bill in Oregon

She's a very good mommy. I can tell.

Bill in Oregon

I don't know if I have ever seen more spectacular wood than Aaron Little used on this custom 28 build on a Parker 20-gauge frame.

Nice, Scott, and one of very few Rugers I have seen without drag marks on the cylinder!

Bill in Oregon

He moved his Thunder Ranch to Oregon about the time I left there. Always thought it would be swell to take a class or two.
This is a fun Youtube. Love those matching Colts at the end. I had not seen that stock treatment before. Makes sense.

Horsesoldier, I might shoot it tomorrow. Winds should step back down out of the 20s and 30s to the teens.
Nice grips Jay!

Bill in Oregon

I'm sure Jason will have a thought when he sees this thread.

Bill in Oregon

It's nice of Altamont to include three grip screws of varying lengths. The original Ruger screw was just short, but the Altamont medium length was perfect.

Bill in Oregon

Just received those Altamont stocks I ordered a month or two back, and I am quite pleased with the fit and feel compared to the black plastic OEM stock on the Super Wrangler. Now if the wind will just lie down I 'll go shoot the thing. 8) https://i.postimg.cc/8F4ky61H/image-67204097-2.jpg https://i....

Thanks for your eagle's vigilance, John.

Bill in Oregon

Thank the Lord you are all okay. We had one pass within a few miles last June. It brought down limbs and trees in my part of town, damaged roofs and bent my fence -- on steel posts -- about 20 degrees. First time I have ever been awakened by the National Weather Service and the feeling of unbelief a...

That's a mighty handsome and practical shooter you have there Jim!

Bill in Oregon

That guy has a good channel. I'd love to have one of those Anschütz chassis rifles, but $4,000 is so far beyond my pov-line pay grade that I can't even dream about it. Will, that Federal ammo -- was it the stuff with the dimple in the center of the case head? If so, I came in second in a 200-yard ma...

Bill in Oregon

Mike, #5 and #10 please sir.

Bill in Oregon

Nice. Two bays for vehicles and a third for lofting boats, with a man cave with beer cooler upstairs.

Bill in Oregon

It just kinda got dim gray here at 95 percent. A lotta nada.
Sure admire your Boss of the Plains, Jim. You wear it so well.

Bill in Oregon

It's cool using heavy equipment all right, but the biggest I ever ran was just a middle-size Caterpillar backhoe. Loved to hear her diesel purr to life.
Gosh that looked like a nice structure, though.

Bill in Oregon

Rube, I sure love your slick-up of that .45 Colt. Who did the case hardening? Gorgeous grips!

Bill in Oregon

Jason, I never ever get tired of seeing that Bowen masterpiece. 8) Here is a sort of "sub question": Of the four main Blackhawk/SBH calibers, .357, .41, .44 Special/Magnum and .45 Colt, which if any, is the least likely to have cylinder throat/bore dimension issues? Seems I hear this waxes...

Bill in Oregon

Thanks Walt. I have been going through the calibers in my mind, and barrel lengths as well. I like the looks of the Bisley, but never shot any of the ones I had side-by side with the same load in a Blackhawk with conventional grip. My hands are medium size and the Bisley may be just beyond optimal f...

I had a Burns B3 for a while. It was fun to goof off with, but boy it was hard to play well. I got discouraged and found it a new home.

Awwwww.

Bill in Oregon

If y'all could have just one, what would you choose?
I think I know how some will answer.

Bill in Oregon

Ray, your post reminded me that 30 years ago I had a Lend-Lease Victory model with the King's Broad Arrow acceptance mark in .38 S&W -- or .38-200 in British nomenclature. When I finally found a source of proper .360 200-grain RN bullets for it (from the defunct Liberty Bullets in Oregon) it sho...

Bill in Oregon

Scott, you are within a hair of absolute sixgun perfection right there. Great project!

Bill in Oregon

Loved our buff Orpingtons. Friendly toots, too.

Bill in Oregon

Did you 'splain this to Sage, Parker and Claro when you got home and they all smelled puppy on you?

Bill in Oregon

Jim, that very configuration -- the 10 with four-inch HB, is about my favorite Smith. I agree, this revolver simply wants to shoot. Brian's recent post reminded me of RIA's very basic, fixed-sight 4-inch .38, although it runs like a Colt and not a Smith. Very affordable, as in $249 MSRP. It might ma...

Bill in Oregon

I don't like them. But living most of my life on the edge of the Pacific Subduction Zone, they were a fact of life. Once they get above 6.0 on the Richter, the creep factor increases exponentially.

Bill in Oregon

They are always a surprise. We have small ones here all thanks to our friends in the oil fracking business.

Bill in Oregon

Can't remember. Would love to see one in use -- in someone else's paw.

Bill in Oregon

Brian, those have tempted me as well. Did not know they were made on the old Colt machinery. RIA makes some firearms worth owning.

Bill in Oregon

I'm such a sucker for a rolling block.

Might ask over at the ASSRA site. Uberti is capable of making an accurate barrel.

Bill in Oregon

Got one on eBay for half a kidney.

Bill in Oregon

Useful discussion, and the little "Still humbling" sidebar reminds us that the Old Dead Guys knew a thing or two about accuracy with black powder and lead.

Bill in Oregon

Appreciate your vigilance, gentlemen!
