Finally I’m back on the grid. Only took 6 days this time. When the house was wrecked in Irene we were off for 6 months while the house was elevated and rebuilt.
Got to playing with the trigger on my ‘03 tonight, actually I suddenly realized how rough and gritty it felt. So I took it apart and cleaned it good along with the receiver. Then I looked in my junk spring box for something similar to the sear spring not wanting to booger up the original, found one that went right in. No more grit or grabbing, smooth and positive, a definite improvement. Tomorrow we shoot our monthly cas/wasa match so I’ll I borrow my buds facing tools and .30 cal pilot and face my ‘03 muzzle this week. Nothing special for the match this month so I’m going to dig my vaqueros out of the safe along with my ‘66 musket and see if I can still shoot single action revolvers worth a hoot.
Update—-We only had 9 hardy cowpokes today, 5 used 2 hands, 4 correctly used one hand. I had 2 misses with my vaqueros out of 60 rds. The duelist gentleman who beat me only missed one pistol target. We were clean with our rifles and sg’s. We were a whole 4 seconds apart! Loved it. It got hot before we were done but the range was dry and we had a breeze. Nice match on a nice day. Nobody took any photos as we were all either working or shooting or cooling off under the shelter.
