And of course, nobody can be mad at Murphy - it's not humanly possible.

Right now the proposed CSA dates conflict with the kids' Spring Break and with the deadline for revenue bills (appropriations and bonds) to be filed in the Legislature, so it is not looking good for me.

However, it is only October..., anything is possible.

Nope, last count I had we were even. (reply)

Long, long ago. I 'borrowed' his seat while he was up getting dinner down in Texas at my first CSA event.

We've had fun ever since buying each other dinner.

Murphy

So, he owes you m oney as well? (reply)

Doug, you've been missed old friend. (reply)

Murphy — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 21:25:36 +0000

Good to see you posting again.

I, like many others hope to see you again at the next CSA.

Murphy

Doug: Great to see you here! (reply)

I lurk..., therefore I am.

Definitely not a QD style.

Doug Mann

Yep. Where I lifted the picture. (reply)

Going back, I see I missed the word "or" in the description for the rawhide ties. So, it looks like either the fish hook with a flat sling or the rawhide tied directly to the stud.

Thanks John. (reply)

The front is a Mannlicher type of loop but I suppose a feller could use a hook on the butt and the 'usual' leather wrap on the front. The front appears to be for a 3/4" width but a 7/8" would also probably work.

Please let me know what you find.

Have a set of hooks,. could be for sale..will look for... (reply)

John Meeker — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 14:37:34 +0000

may be a day or so, to find.

Ironically enough.... (reply)

The first picture I amd up with for the hook style had your original picture in it...

That's my thought as well John. (reply)

There's an "English style tie-on rawhide" that I've seen for sale but never seen installed. Mr. Google brings up a number of different wire loops held into the stud with a screw. The only thing I know for sure is it ain't an Uncle Mike's!

I always picture those with the fish hook style. (reply)

John K. — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 13:16:12 +0000

Is there something different used?

What sort of sling swivel is used with this style of stud?

Hoot — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 13:09:23 +0000

Is this for a hook style or other? Getting confused with some of the European styles. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks!
