But I wouldn't go that route unless you're riding on DUNLOP tires. After all they're the best tires you can buy, right? Oh, ch1t, this is an oil thread.

Well as I sit here cleaning my gun, and going out in a bit to put some Rotella oil in my bike, and checking the air in my Battleaxes.

I put some Mobil 1 synthetic grease on the link pins of my RCBS reloading press. Their carbide dies do not require lube.

I have had good results with Hercules/Alliant 2400 and Winchester 296 powder, Win. WSR primers, and Hornady 300 grain XTP bullets in my Ruger Super Redhawk .454 .

Happy trails.

Does that have a 2-stroke or 3-stroke engine in it? It sounds fast!

The Redhawk has a different action than the SAA Colt design, as they tick their name as the hammer is pulled back. A click for each letter, C-O-L-T. If you listen closely enough, each click's tone sort of matches the spoken letter, too!

Or, so I've been told.

What do you plan to do with the remains?

For Upperlake04...

From: http://www.sixguns.com/range/colt.htm
By John Taffin

Just what is so special about the Single Action Army? A design that has its beginning over 150 years ago with the first Colt-designed single action . Pick up a Colt Single Action and you will discover true sixgun quality. As I have said before, the aesthetic value of the Colt Single Action cannot be approached by any other handgun. If your soul, spirit and heart are not touched by the feel and genuine great looks of a Colt Single Action Army, something is wrong. Slowly cock the hammer and listen. As the big hammer moves past the safety notch one hears a distinct "C"; the hammer moves past the half-cock and an audible "O" registers. As the hand pushes against the ratchet on the back of the cylinder, one who listens carefully can hear an "L"; and finally as the hammer and trigger come together in the firing mode, a definite "T" comes forth. Yes C-O-L-T is heard distinctly as the hammer comes back.

Answer a question with a question: How many squirrel pelts does it take to make a jacket, size 48?

And then: How did this thread get here?

You weren't fooling TT

An interesting and educational read and a glimpse into the special connection some of your countrymen have with their guns. Thanks

"If you are not emotionally affected by the graceful lines of the big bore Colt, you are on dangerous ground my friend. You have crossed over the line from enjoying fine handguns as works of art into the drab world of viewing them as working tools like claw hammers and computers. If this is true, it is time to slow down, quit taking life so seriously, and enjoy the finer things once again.

Pick up a sea shell and it is said that one can hear the sea as the shell is placed over the ear. Pick up a Colt Single Action and you can hear the tickling of the ivories in a saloon on Main Street in Dodge City; you can smell wet cattle as they are driven north through wind and rain and dust; you can taste fresh cooked bacon and beans over a campfire in the mountains of Montana; and you can see the history of a country stretching over a century."

Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army, 1900 Mfg. First Generation .44-40
