We're getting a little off topic.

SUMIKITO · July 12, 2012, 06:13 PM

Jaymo; Reminds me of that episode on tv [Criminal Minds] about those hogs being fed human remains and their shoes gathered up in a trash bin. Oh my God..............Best regards

ClemBert · July 12, 2012, 06:47 PM

Should we change the title of this thread to: The Official Hog Discussion Club?

Jaymo · July 12, 2012, 07:20 PM

I saw that episode of Criminal Minds.

ROA related------I'm going to check out a new hunting club this weekend. I'm hoping to shoot the ROA while I'm there.
I'm also planning on shooting a deer and some small hogs with it, this year.
Now, I just need a good holster for it. I'm thinking about a flap holster or a shoulder holster.

I think we ROA club members should all get together and shoot our ROAs.

Jim, West PA · July 12, 2012, 07:59 PM

We're not allowed to hunt with our ROA's in Pa.
We aint allowed to use BP in a caliber smaller than .45.
So, in the infinite wisdom of the Pa game narcs.
Since the ROA box says ".44" , it's not a .45.
But stay tuned.
In Pa the rules can change with the mood of the man in green.

Now that right there Jaymo would be one bang up weekend

Jaymo · July 12, 2012, 11:33 PM

The smoke would be visible from space.

Jim, West PA · July 13, 2012, 08:46 AM

When my son was a boy he allways said, when we were up camp, "dad, if it can't be seen from space, it aint a fire".
That much smoke would fit right into this family

Eights · July 13, 2012, 11:14 AM

I like hog legs better than the hogs themselves.

rodwha · July 14, 2012, 08:04 AM

Eights: I think you need to get a DNA test done on that child in the middle. He doesn't look like his siblings. Kinda looks a little like the neighbor doesn't he?

Eights · July 14, 2012, 10:32 AM

First of all, those are three ladies. From left to right, Molly, Francesca Maria, and Sue. When they travel together, they tell most casual onlookers that they're cousins. Those who know them see two sisters and a friend.

J-Bar · July 14, 2012, 01:14 PM

I do not know the seller and I have no information about the gun, just saw this ad on the cowboy wire for an ROA selling for $400, in case anyone is interested...

Having the serial #145-28XXX, it appears to have been made in 1981.

That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! Everyone knows that firearms are masculine (at least all of mine are).

Thanks for this. I discovered that mine was made in 1995.

Fingers McGee · July 15, 2012, 08:01 PM

OK, I finally got one (2005 mfg) so can I join now??

edit - it's actually a 1999 manufacture. I looked up the wrong number the first time.

mykeal · July 16, 2012, 08:32 AM

OMG! Whatever possessed you?

J-Bar · July 16, 2012, 10:35 AM

Yo, Fingers;

That gun looks way too modern...how about letting me antique it for you??

Welcome to the club.

Prepare for the inevitable ROA bashing from the SASS Frontiersmen, though.

Fingers McGee · July 16, 2012, 12:02 PM

MYKEAL - I dunno, mutsa been drunk or under the influence of a mind altering substance or sumthin. Dimentia, yeah, that's the ticket.

J-Bar - They'll never know unless someone squeals on me

; and, no I don;t need it antiqued.

rodwha · July 16, 2012, 01:50 PM

Gee Wilickers Fingers...why so much flack? If it's not a Colt it's scrap metal or what?

Noz · July 16, 2012, 02:44 PM

OH NO! How the mighty have fallen.

mykeal · July 16, 2012, 05:23 PM

rodwha - Fingers McGee is well known throughout the bp world as an expert and highly respected collector of these guns, and especially the Colt pattern guns, both original and replica. He is always a gentleman and certainly a scholar, and while I've never known him to utter a disparaging syllable about the ROA and it's lineage, one could easily understand it if he was, shall we say, biased unfavorably due to their lack of deep historical provenance. Nonetheless he does appreciate a truly fine firearm so it should probably not be surprising that an ROA would cross his threshold. He is most welcome to the fold; our society has been greatly enhanced.

rodwha · July 16, 2012, 05:35 PM

I certainly hope that I wasn't taken in a spirit of disrespect as that was not my angle whatsoever.

And much like you, I feel he is one who knows what he is talking about as one who has been there and done that. And even more so for the way I sense you bringing your wisdom.

Glad that he finally found an awesome cap n ball revolver! And certainly welcomed by me who is only here due to my father having come across this fine revolver for me.

Loosenock · July 16, 2012, 06:58 PM

Congrats Fingers!!!! Ya done good! Them 5 1/2 inches with fixed sights are real prizes.
