    I’m not from that part of the state so I’ve not heard that lake is dangerous to swim in. Why?

    If you're ignorant enough to jump in a lake knowing full well ya can't swim, a wading pool could be lethal.

    I'm wondering if there's a possibility this was a suicide?

    I appreciate a cranky RSO, too many idiots at public ranges.  If an butt chewing is earned, take it don't whine.

    Big difference  between eating an M&M behind the firing line and sweeping the line with a Mac10, right?  

    I used to take my wife and daughter to  an indoor range in the valley for their 'Ladies Shoot Free' night. Didn't take long to realize it was a dangerous place to be.

    The goal at my range is to make as many day to day shooters RSOs. The course is free thru the range and safer range is a more enjoyable one. Insurance is cheaper,  too. I can see in the near future where all range members at our club  will be required to be RSO certified.

    Make no mistake there are some real jerks working as safety officers at the public ranges, but I bet every last one of them that's been working for awhile has had a loaded weapon pointed at them. If you have spent some time at a public range pretty much seen it all, as far as being unsafe goes. If you have been to a range without a safety officer, take a look around. How many holes are in the over hanging roof? How much stuff has been shot up? Chairs, posts holding the over hang up, ect.

    Funny you should mention... your description of the shooting stations reminds me of the small arms ranges in the USAF.  It literally looked like a combat zone where airman went to qualify.

    To be clear, were these Peanut M&Ms or M&Ms and peanuts (like a DIY gorp mixture) ?

    W/peanuts.  They were probably scared someone would have an allergy.

    Get permission from the property owner of record to remove them. Then leave them on you property for a while to meet the criteria. Then follow procedures for abandoned titles.

    Or

    Get the VINs and find the original owner of record. Get them to file for a lost title and then title them to you.

    Not Legal advice, just what I might would try if I were that interested.

    First, give the VIN to the DPS and see that they're not stolen. 

    My ex boss bought a property that was once a landscape business. There were several abandoned trailers on the property.  Wouldn't ya know it, the nicest trailer there turned out to be stolen.  DMV will never issue any kind of title for a stolen vehicle.

    Tim,

    Do you know a smith you would trust to fix the timing?

    I don't. The 1860 just needs a new wedge spring, simple fix and they're available .

    The hand spring breaking or weakening is so common I can't find a replacement from Uberti. I'm going to try a heat treatment on it and see if I can't breath some new life into it.

    I had the timing get off on a 1860 army, it exploded in my hands. That shoot will shake you up a bit.

    Glad you're OK. Two of theses pistols I have pictured are often out of battery., or timing. It's duets a weak finger spring in the .45 Peacemaker and a poorly fitted barrel wedge in the 1860 army.

    Cleaning day for the ol timey guns.
