Whaddy'all think of this idea?

We could have our own li'l Show-Swap-Sell Session (a "Campfire SSSS").

Bring along whatever you want to brag about, to swap, to sell, to give away, etc � guns, binoculars, scopes, dies, brass, bullets, primers, powders, range-finders, wives, spotting scopes, cameras, actions, bullet moulds � whatever.

You might shed a lot of saliva, and you might find a treasure that you've wanted for years but couldn't find.

At every gun show that I've been to, friends always asked me whether I'd seen anything that I couldn't live without. Standard answer � "Yeah, but they're all too young or married."

'Tween now 'n' then, y'all could chat with one another �
"Anybody gonna bring a Mondragon?"
"I'll have my Winsavmarton 65 � anybody interested?"
"Need dies for my 2x10mm."
"[bleep], be sure to bring that Tibetan Schmeisser!"

Sounds good to me... I think I have some bellybutton lint around here somewhere... Oh, and 5000 pcs of 22short brass I've saved, if anyone wants to trade a Kimber 7mm08 for it...

I'll see what I got around, my wife would be happy if I cleaned the closet some.

I need some dies for the .222 Kilbourne - and have some 8mm Lebel brass (primed) and also 7.7 Jap machine gun brass (with clips) to sell/trade. Will keep looking.

Works for me...
I always seem to have stuff that can go.

Me too. Mid July to Mid August would be best for me and if anyway possible, I will be there. miles

My opinion is to shoot for July 28th, that's as long as we can go waiting for the monsoon and not have any hunts going on that will eliminate some attendees. Bear season starts the first of Aug here.

Not saying that is it, if that's a bad date and aug is the only way to go, so be it.

I have some vanilla dies sitting around I no longer have the cartridge... 270, 7mmMag, 338 mag, 7X57 even an extra 3006 I think. Some of the same vanilla brass.

Back to the top.

Late July works fine, might even be able to convince my wife to accompany me, but not for the Swap Meet. I'll keep the one I've got.

Late July OK here as well.

Doc, I ain't swapping mine either. If you bring yours, we'll find a way for her to spend some quality time with mine so that neither will get an overdose of the usual campfire baloney.

With both Maddy and Niki present, I'd have a hard time deciding which angel to hug first.

So I'd better leave that delightful function to Paul and Jim � respectfully!

A friend was here for a while today � dug out my Mauser actions � my two best ones, long saved-back for ultra-special custom rifles that just never got built, for one reason or another � so now they're out where you can take a look at 'em if you come to the Campfire bash at the lake.

Friend who dug 'em out for me talks like he wants one or the other but hasn't yet given me any hint as to which one he likes better (I think that he's having a hard time figuring that out, himself!)

Both have '06-head bolt faces and extractors.

� Mark X � (earlier model) standard commercial in every respect � with classic custom floor-plate release � blued

� Danzig � small-ring military, standard barrel thread, partially customized (ring and bridge hand-polished [not buffed!] � drilled and tapped for scope � custom trigger [not fitted or tuned] � commercial magazine, floor plate, trigger guard, bolt sleeve, FN safety � original military bolt handle, unaltered, but with custom bolt handle included separately � custom bottom metal blued)

I have a few .22 Long Rifle rifles, too � including an original low-number (single digit) Oregon Kimber.

TTT

We want Rick to see regular activity at this site and keep this as a sticky.

Good point, Doc. Let's hope the summer gathering at Q gets bigger and better for all. I sure am looking forward to it.

Ditto

anymore imput as to the time frame - narrowed down a bit more ?

Late July works great, will be my first.

Reckon now we can start planning and looking forward to this one.

anyone heard from ken - probably recoupin

I imagine he's doing just that... resting and recovering.

When? Where?
