ROBERT,
When you call, please ask for me and I will tell you how to put a lever spring in properly!!!!
Thanks to everyone else for all of the helpful tips, but the support page is for just that support!!!
The other pages are for everyone to have a group discussion about their shooting issues.
I don't have time to read through everybody's guesses to try to give the guy an answer to his original question.
After I get a chance to answer right away, then everyone else is more than welcome to chime in.
Thank You,
Kirk,

Lot of guilty posters. No Need to rag on just one guy.
Glad I read it before I posted anything.

Re: Rifle
Not that KW is needing any help here, is last sentence pretty well sums it up.Kenny Wasserburger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 1:33 pm Glen,
I come from a very old Wyoming ranching family. On my mother’s side my great grandfather came to Niobrara county in 1881, after 50 head of stolen horses. From the area around fort Robinson where the Wasserburgers ranched. His name was CR Zerbst, often called Dick Zerbst. He killed the 2 men that took them and stayed, homesteaded. My dad’s side ranched in the very corner of nw Nebraska, the battle of Warbonnet Creek happened there 1876 6 weeks or so after the Custer fight. My grandfather Wasserburger homestead here in 1916. Both of my great grandfathers were cutting timber near Deadwood SD at the time of the Warbonnet Fight. Buffalo Bill killed a Cheyenne war Chief there about 250 yards from where my Great grandfather is buried today. Place called Montrose. Btw my cousin Jacob Wasserburger still owns and runs that ranch. There is a small cemetery and church there, it’s a beautiful place.
I was raised on a working cattle ranch, it still is run by my father. I am occasionally required to go down and run that ranch when my dad was laid up two winters in row with knee replacements. I strayed away at 14 to the oil patch for the money, yet still worked on our ranch as needed. My dad did also at times when cattle prices sucked.
Being called a Dude here, is about as insulting as it gets to someone with my background.
When not in the patch at 14 I was working 3 large sale rings, for Henry and Martin Wasserburger, from Harrison Neb to Douglas Wy. Working cattle, at 16, I was working nights loading out cattle after the sales as night watchman, with a lever action rifle as my only companion. My dad got me a handgun at 18. And millions of dollars of cattle, all alone, trusted by family. The saddle I rode as a young man is a Ham, not a Hamley. Made in the early 1870’s made in Dodge City. It was my great grandfather’s my grandfather’s and my Dad’s saddle then mine to use. My headsthall and bit are US Cavalry marked, probably from the 5th as they were stationed at Ft Robinson. We still have the saddle and headstall. I have wrestled calves on my Great grandfather Dick’s ranch at branding time, under the watchful eye of my Grandfather Bill Zerbst. Rode that country horseback as a kid gathering.
Yeah,
I am no fucking Dude.
KW.
Glenn, the term dude was used in the old west to mean a city person who moved to the west without actually knowing what he was doing. Synonymous with “city-slicker”, so it’s taken as an insult, not that your intent was to insult him. With you and your background “dude” seems appropriate for you to say to people.
I also don’t not like the term, also raised on a working farm with cattle in Missouri, but It wouldn’t offend me, knowing that your intent wasn’t meant as such.
Let’s just have fun and shoot matches together.
Kevin

Re: Rifle
I would say so.
I don’t suffer fools, idiots, or bullies.
I would still like to shoot Ok City someday, was on my bucket list. Maybe time to re-evaluate that list.

Re: Rifle
On the Shiloh Forum a sense of humor is not required, however, it will prove beneficial more times than not. Most of us ARE human.
Soooo...just when someone thinks they are being taken as dead serious, there is always the possibility they are being laughed at.
Moreover, if someone wants to be offended by something written here, who can stop them? If it is truly offensive that is one thing, if it is wholly not the truth that is quite another matter. Honestly stating your view, whether wholly emotional and devoid of fact or not, falls with the freedoms guaranteed by the first amendment. It is up to the individual to classify the information presented.

It is an American thing Bruce. Wish you were here to assimilate into it.

Re: Rifle
crypticism is American, and cynicism is more of an australian thing.
forgiveness and love of your neighbour is apparently a Christian thing.
and "vengeance is mine", sayeth the lord.
somewhere into all this fits the good Samaritan and the whipping of the pharasees.
we all have our little foibles.

Re: Rifle
So you are asking for censorship? The problem with that is that it doesn't always go your way. I prefer free speech and I applaud Kirk and Lucinda for allowing that. Anyone can say anything they want without fear of being censored. Now, as you know, freedom comes with responsibility.
Curbing one's statements for fear of offending someone is part of the reason why our country is in the shape it's in. Political correctness is a bunch of BS. There are lots of new guys that read all this and are still interested. I was one not long ago and have always appreciated the opinions and information provided. I have also always found it quite entertaining. The other thing I am amazed at is a lot of you critics think this subject or forum is the only one that gets a little cranky. ANY of the other interests have just as heated debates, often much more. I have seen some horrible crap throwing between sewing groups, cheese making, soap making, etc. The big difference is that in ours all of us are real people with real interests and our words and credibility are backed up by what happens on the shooting ranges. So many of the other interests are dominated by people that make sure they are never met.
take care, Cody
