62 here right now, may get close to 80, depending on who you believe. 

Got errands to run today. Got up at a normal time, must be doing better. ;)

Howdy Tay,

I can't give a reason for the discoloration on your '66; however, don't use anything more abrasive than Brasso. Try Flitz, I swear by it. I wonder if you should wipe the brass with a lacquer solvent and try brass again. I just let my '66's patina on their own with use.

By the way, I used Flitz on a pair of matte finish revolvers and ended up with a nice antiquey dark gray look. I don't like matte finish on my guns.

The Darksider's Den / Re: Ballistol?

 :)  Froogal   ;)

Depends (no, not the ones in the plastic package).  First a CAVEAT.  I don't like Balistol.  At all.  Well, it's ok to soften stiff boots.  However:

It will work for your purpose (mostly).  I do however, recommend and champion the use of PAM.  Acronym.  Hydrogen Peroxide, Denatured Alcohol and Murphy Oil Soap in equal parts.  I put it in a little spray bottle.  Works a treat.

With PAM, you won't need a bore snake.  Just a squirt down the bore and spritz a patch on the ends of yer rod.  Done.  Put a drink cozy on yer spray bottle.  Hydrogen Peroxide doesn't like direct sunlight.

 :) YEPPER Major 2 ;)

That is a right spiffy match.   I particularly like the finale at the toe.

Something old something new...

I was going through my holster collection and pulled this one out.
I made it probably 12 years or so years ago for an Avenging Angel,
Looks pretty cool with the 642  :)

The Darksider's Den / Ballistol?
« Last post by Froogal on Today at 08:24:53 AM »
Does Ballistol work with black powder? Mostly I am curious about using it with a bore snake for quick cleanups between stages if necessary.

Upcoming Musters / Division of Illinois Muster, 29 June 2024
« Last post by LT Col Long on Today at 08:14:00 AM »

Well I guess that I had better get to it and quit procrastinating.  Here goes, the Division of Illinois Muster will take place 29 June 2024 (I know right in the middle of the Grand Muster!!). The Good Guys Posse BOD voted to for me to hold the muster on that date.  I am not without blame as I am the sec/treasurer of the posse. That all said the muster will take place at Dry Gulch Ranch outside of Winnebago, IL. The address is 10573 Telegraph road, Winnebago, IL.
We do have an interesting match planned which includes the Gatlin Gun, the old 2x4, speed pistol, 14 target stage, a 10 target stage and a 5 to make 3 rifle match. This is a cowboy action range so I have to get inventive.
I finally posted so you all can let me have it!!

      Greetings!

   I'm surprised that Brasso wouldn't remove that; Flitz might be worth a try. I would NOT use sand paper!!.

            Keep Us posted!
