If you haven't been to one of these, you are missing the best show in America. Lots of older and interesting guns without a Glock or 6.5 Creedmoor in the lot of over 1300 tables. This is a Colt Burgess that was made and shipped in 1883...

Everything I want is way over my budget so all I can do is look. Glad to see that someone here has the where with all to actually afford one of those beauties. This year the exhibits didn't disappoint either with not a single AR in sight. But I thought that the prices were a tiny bit more reasonable that in past years. I don't know if they've come down a bit or I'm just more use to the high prices though!

Just be sure to keep Flave away from it. Last edited by Remington6MM; 05/21/19. Reason: Needed to add some chit I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

What are the insides like, Marlin simple or Browning busy? This is from the genius of Andrew Burgess. The interior is simple smooth and functional. Burgess may not have been as prolific as Browning, but still a master of invention and simplicity...
