What's New? - Cowboy Gun Works

Stop by our tent at 'Winter Range' the 2012 SASS National Championships in Phoenix, AZ February 20-26th and see our huge display of Ruger revolvers! Cowboy Gunworks is a Stage Sponsor.

Cody (the Maine Coon Cat) and I are back in New Hampshire after the "Jimmy Spurs Great American Road Trip". I'll be putting up some photos and videos from the trip. Here are some to start off:

'Rephil' from Germany (and former European Champion) at Cowtown in Arizona. (video)

Jimmy Spurs with Shotgun Boogie from Germany. We spent a lot of time "talking shop"
at Big Nose Kate's Saloon in Tombstone AZ. He is Europe's top CAS gunsmith.

I'm in South Carolina for the SASS Southeast Regional "Gunfight at Givens Ferry" after traveling to "The Gunfight Behind the Jersey Lilly" in Norco, CA , then the SASS Arizona State Championship "Bordertown", followed by "Comin' At Cha" SASS Southwest Regional in Texas.

To quote my friend 'Dead Head' in New Hampshire, "What a Long, Strange Trip It Has Been!".

I'm on my way to "The Gunfight Behind the Jersey Lilly" in Norco, CA that will be held Oct. 20-23. Come by and visit if you are in the area.

I will be heading for "Bordertown", the SASS Arizona State Championship at the end of the month, followed by "Comin' At Cha" SASS Southwest Regional in Texas and then the "Gunfight at Givens Ferry" SASS Southeast Regional in South Carolina. I am doing work while on the road with my mobile gunshop that includes a milling machine so I can open up rear sights to make it easier to acquire a quick sight picture.

I had a great time at the SASS Northwest Regional Championships and won Top Gun!

Congratulations to my pard Illustrated Man for winning the 2011 SASS NY State Championships and my pard Deuce Stevens for winning Top Gun at the 2011 SASS MN State Championships!

Congratulations to Splinter Jack and No Nonsense Nancy for winning the 2011 SASS Maine State Championships!

I'm going to be on the "Jimmy Spurs Great American Road Trip" for quite a while.

First I'll be at the U S Open in Sparta, IL and then to the SASS MN State Championships. Then on to the SASS Northwest Regional in Washington and back to the Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Cody, WY area for some R & R. More later ...

Here's an image of three generations of one family that shoot Cowboy Gunworks guns. Each uses a 1897 shotgun, an Uberti rifle and all shoot Ruger pistols.

Well, winter is finally over in New Hampshire. We had close to ten feet of snow fall this year. Keeping the CGW Shop clear of snow for customers all winter was like having a part time job, but was a small price to pay for its beauty!

'Little Ruby' came up with her little sister, 'Krazy Jenny'. They live in Florida with my sister and have never seen snow before. Of course, they wanted to build a snow man. 'Little Ruby' worked in the shop on Rugers and as well as doing some light machining on the Bridgeport every day she was here as did Jenny who vacuumed and made sure the shop was clean and Ruby and I were fed! Than it was back out in the snow ..

Many people are still waiting on rifles as am I. I will fill orders as best I can when they come in.

We did a lot of R & D on the Ruger Vaquero over the winter and have now started to offer things like Hammer Over Travel, Trigger Over Travel and Custom Fit Belt Mountain Base Pins for all Ruger Single Actions in Stainless or Blue. These pins really help keep the angle of the cylinder in a Ruger perfectly straight with the barrel, making every shot more accurate.

I'm proud to say that I had 32 State Champions (Overall) in 2010 shooting my firearms and I would like to congratulate you all.

I plan on hitting the road this fall with the Cowboy Gunworks Stage Coach (Motor Home) and the 32' Cowboy Gunworks Race Trailer. Last year I outfitted the trailer with a small machine shop complete with buffers, sanders, saw, Tig Welder, air compressor and even a small milling machine.

So far I am planning on the SASS Michigan State Championship, the US Open in Sparta, IL and the SASS Minnisota State Championship in September. In early November I'll be at the SASS Southwest Regional in Texas and the SASS Southeast Regional in South Carolina.

Congratulations to 'Rattlesnake Wrangler' on winning the 2011 SASS Buckaroo National Championship!
