Hey there, new to the page, but digging it!  So much info - too cool. Wondering if anyone can fill me in on any info about a M1860 with the S/N 50950.  Not getting much help for a guide anywhere, but seeing there's mad knowledge on this site.  Thanks in advance! 

Wahoo got hit hard, can only get in from the north.  Ceresco got hit and 77 was blocked south of town, just normal here.  Floods missed us by about 15 miles.

Supposed to be a nice day and more tomorrow into Friday.

... All that for 65 bucks....

...and you can shoot at State or higher championships.  Texas championship match has been close enough for me to shoot without a hotel probably 7 of the last ten years.  I've only shot Winter Range once (went lotsa times with Cimarron) but now that I'm no longer caregiving I intend to do some more big matches.  So...for me it is worth it.

Here's another angle.  Remember inflation?  I shoot every weekend, average of 130 miles round trip.  Gas/ammo/match fees are running over $60 per match.  I think I can afford my SASS membership.

But I get it, different strokes...

The problem is having a core of individuals to maintain the site after purchase.

  Ah Ha 

I just knew it.  I've known it all along.  A most worthy challenger for PosterGrump!!  Finally out of the closet are we.  Well Harrumpff to you two.  As it twer, sorta.

And, Unfortunately, you are entirely correctamundo.  There is no benefit of SASS membership for the Rank and File.  What??  You say??  An Alias list??  So what.  Oh I forgot, also a tiny little sticky sticker for your vehicle window to identify it as a theft magnet.  All that for 65 bucks.  Whoopie.  Oh, 65 bucks and rising.  And, let us not forget, SASS/CAS is slowly, inexorably imploding.

Couple Lustrum ago, there were a number of folks making a tidy little living off CAS.  For some (like me) is was a nice Side Hustle to fund toys.  In case nobody has notice, the numbers of those folks have dwindled to almost nothing.  Most Haberdasheries have closed up shop.  Grip makers have packed it in.  Lots of specialty gunsmiths have bagged it, others in all these activities have simply aged out with no replacements interested in the activity.  Let us also not ignore, the Firearms Manufacturers who have supported the game are reducing production and branching out into other realms.  The Hay day has left the building.

Membership, now with membership numbers well over a Hundred Thousand, are misleading to say the least.  If you were to wander around the country, counting active participants, I seriously doubt you could find 30,000, total active players.

The Players that started this Game (IT'S JUST A GAME) have all aged out.  The original Wild Bunch are gone.  Those who have followed are just short term custodians.  I doubt there is going to be a well funded retirement down the road.

It is a really fun GAME.  I'm gonna play as long as I am able and as long as there is someone hosting a match.

SASS needed to get out of California.  But boy did they ever blow it.  Should have found an already established existing venue.  Oh well.

In other news . . . .  they finally moved the Big Boat
