Banks.  Think Banks.  Banks have lots of "thousands" just sitting on the shelves.  Just go in and ask for it by name 

Oops.  Forgot.  The SASS ruling for the thread cap applies to the Taylors rifle.  The best of my limited knowledge, it was a "one off" application for acceptance of the 9mm Taylor '73

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are hot.

Saw the North Lights last night. Green and red.

'Tis 24 and sunny. High of 52 and mostly sunny.

Slim

I attended a night time shotgun match not long ago and what is more fun than running an 1887 at night w/ BP slugs, buck, and birdshot?

I forgot to post a picture:



I pick it up out of 10 day Commiefornia jail tomorrow.  I had delayed doing the paperwork until my Springfield Armory Hellcat pistol I ordered came in, so I could save money by registering both at the same time.  Its one $37.19 fee for how ever many you register at the same time.  It is a low serial number with no letter prefix imported by EMF, Im guessing in the early 90s.  Nice brown walnut furniture, instead of the redish walnut that they used for years.

Tell Johnny we're praying for him.
It's been a nice last couple days here. Monday was cold but sunny as we headed to Branson MO for a few days. My Nephew and his Wife also took a couple days to come up for a break too [with four kids, they can use it]. Anyway the condo is really nice, the weather has improved the last two days to just gorgeous. They had to leave this morning after we had a late breakfast at Cracker Barrel.Last night we were even able to see the Northern Lights here. We are here til Friday, went to see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in a live play yesterday and it was great. Tomorrow is just gonna be a quiet day and I plan on spoiling my Missus.

Quote from: Abilene on November 12, 2025, 02:56:13 PMSass approved this rifle if the suppressor threads are covered with a smooth cap. 9mm is also SASS approved except for Classic Cowboy.

Excellent, thanks for the update.

Is the rule only for this one rifle in particular? Or can anything have threads now as long as they are covered?

That means I'd happily take one of these rifles. Now I juat need to find $2000 somewhere.

Boop! A touch of heat and she came loose. Thanks for the suggestions.

Sass approved this rifle if the suppressor threads are covered with a smooth cap. 9mm is also SASS approved except for Classic Cowboy.

Not me... I embrace the fouling, I "clearance" the carrier by reducing it's width, by 10-15 thousandths per side  and fire away.  I easily run a 6 stage match, and sometimes a full 3 day 12 stage match without a care.  On rare occasion I might need to go to my backup rifle to run stage 12, but... rare.  Doesn't work quite as well with the C45S mod in place.  Still working on that.

I'd love one in 9mm but the threaded barrel makes it against da rules for SASS. Right?


Everybody has their own opinion on what is or is not overly anachronistic. Our game is silly no matter how you slice the cookie. What a gun is chambered in near the bottom of what I would be concerned about. But boy oh boy is that all a separate conversation entirely.
