Joe,
Thanks great, thanks! Ted had an idea for its return. If you could get that to Jay, Jay is doing some work for Ted next week and Ted said he'd meet me at the Saylorsburg Flea. If that works for you and Jay, it works for me. Otherwise, I could come and get it, don't mind a drive.
Next year for sure Joe.

Arrived home at 7AM. Hope everyone else made it to their destinations safe.
Had a blast again this year, as expected. A huge thank you to Joe, Jay and Gary for all they do to make this such a huge success. It was nice seeing the faces I met last year again, along with some new ones. Sorry for the guys who couldn't make it, but there's always next year...God willin' and the river don't rise.
Can't wait till the pics are posted.

So close.... but alas, not in the cards for me. I hope everybody has a great, safe time.
Roger Sure missed you Roger. I had my center console stuffed with crispy C notes hoping you had that 22 with ya. Is that a Walther model 2? Joe.

Hey Joe, Yeah I still have it. I think it is a Model 2 presentation grade off of the top of my head, I was fondling it just the other day. I was giving everything in the safes a wipe down and spent a little extra time admiring it. I read one time that something like 20 of them were supposedly made by Walther as gifts for bigwigs between the wars but who knows. Information is scarce and sketchy at best.

I was asked about the action.
It is essentially a semi-auto with a bolt action feature.
If you fire it with the bolt up the recoil cycles the action, if the bolt is closed(down) it operates like a bolt gun with a magazine clip feed.

Talk about the stuff of dreams, Gary brought his Ballard Pope single shot 22. What a sweet shooting rifle with a very nice trigger. Thank you for letting me put a few down range Gary.

That 5/8" group you fired with it at 100 yards was pretty nice, Steve! Never underestimate us old guys armed with old rifles, eh?!
