Kaywoodie and shrapnel get some exposure in the new Winchester 1895 book by Rob Kassab and Brad Dunbar. It is a select group of people that admire and shoot the 1895 Winchester and once in awhile you do get some recognition. Bob and I have shared some of this enthusiasm and Rob and Brad felt it was worthy of their new book...

So if I buy a copy will you autograph it?

You're a legend in your own mind.....congratulations....

F'ing A!

Excellent!

Guess there ain’t any good-looking ‘95 experts

Kaywoodie is a hoot. I have seen him set up as in the picture just exactly that way.
then after a little liquid refreshment start quoting french poetry or the classics.
I get a kick out of that, even if he did have a thing for cheap beer.

That's cool. Congrats to you two.

And a few author’s apparently.

I think I wouldn’t mind meeting K-dub.

Despite his being a Texan.

Hey, i know that goofy one.

Pearl is not cheap beer.

Very nice.

Big medicine.

Think it is a good thing that there is an appreciation for some of these fine old firearms. Generally find some of these older, well designed, well built firearms are a heck of a lot more interesting than most of the recently introduced stuff, most/much of which is forgettable at introduction.

The authors messed up. They should have used the pic of Bob holding the pie!

Congrats, though.

When I grow up I want to be like Shrap.

Congratulations Shrap & KW!!!!!

Fine job you old devils.....

Amen.

Best beer ever. Kaywoodie is the man.

TFF.

Very cool.

That's awesome!!! So do Campfire members get an autographed copy?!

There’s famous, and then there is in-famous.


You two are definitely the latter. Lol.

Bob knows value, that's all. ; )

Cheap beer built this country you jackwagons.

Its sacrifices and hard work from the cheap beer drinkers that allow youse lot to sip yer lemon shandys.

Awesome!

Congrats to two characters who make the Campfire more enjoyable. It would be lessr if they werent here.

Id be proud to hunt, or down a cold one with either of them.

Cheers Boys!

LOVE the 95!

Da fugs a lemon shandy?

Nice guys, you deserve some credit for your good taste in firearms.

sounds like something that comes with an um-be-rellie

Lemon is a great summertime beverage.

So next week I want to drive out to the Little Bighorn. I am about 4 hours away, what else to see and do around that area.

Then I can say I walked where Shrapnel walked😃. Seriously though I want to see some sights.

Hahahaha
Congrats to Shrap and KayWoodie

Yes, those guys add much needed character to things!

Quite an accomplishment for you two.

Most of the other ones here, the only book they ever got into is the one down to the hoosegow what the sheriff fills in for the overnight (or longer) stay.

Congrats.

Geno

PS, Bob, at least the authors mentioned your somewhat odd haberdashery habits in a kindly manner. If you'd have sent a picture of yourself in those johdpurs and puttees they may have had to make fun of you.

Congrats to you Shrapnel and Kaywoodie!

Does this mean I have to treat Kaywoodie like a celebrity?

Well................





duh.

Geno

Very nice..

that's cool. you two rock on

Good job guys. I've talked to Shrap on the phone a few times and with just that I can say he is great guy.

That’s great!!!

Deflave told me not post what I wrote..

Where can the book be bought, please?

You don’t now?

Well done, fellas.

You two will do anything for a free book.

I am a fan of those who choose to use the Win 1895

Those two have a fan club now too? Wow.

Can you get me one? Money tight on my end.

Kinda sorta.

ah,
it isn't just pearl, it's that pbr stuff.

hey, i know cheap beer, i can't remember the name of it, but my slavic grandmother use to drink this stuff bought at safeway, .89cents a sixpack.

Congrats you guys - on your taste in rifles and the ink you have gotten. But, that seems like a lot of coverage just because Kaywoodie was born in 1895

congratulations Shrapnel.

Congratulations to both of you.

Hard to believe, but Kaywoodie is the younger of us...

If that the case he looks like schit.

Shrap sold me mine for $300.

After finding that link I text him some questions but he hasn't responded yet.

No, I think the guns are awkward but I admire anyone who specializes with a sub par gun😎

You must really like the 6.5 Creedmoor...

I bet Bob would set ya up Tracy......

you can tempt Bob with a cold Hamms also....

Kirk,

I remember when your bought the Winchester 1895 in 40-82 on Gunbroker, as I recall you made a "Bidding" error with some added zero's in the price....or so it was told.

Very Nice. I will have to get me a copy of this book.

If you want to tempt Kaywoodie you have to think of a number.... 3.1415926 to be exact because he can be a bit irrational at times.



John
I know more decimal places... but I haven't had my morning Espresso to get my brain working.

Thats "GREAT" that those two campfire "LEGENDS" are in the book!!! My brother and i have pictures of a few of our 1895 rifles in the book, but if our pictures were in there they would have to give the book away !!! . Don

Good Going Fellows, My Hats off to you! Don did your Fancy 405 make it into the Book the one I got to shoot up in Maine that fine day?

No mistakes were made, it was more expensive than I thought it would be. The gun had been listed multiple times with no bids, so I bid at the final minutes of the auction and someone else out bid me. This went on for several more bids, until I finally prevailed. I should have gotten it several hundred dollars cheaper, but I didn’t. It is a fantastic rifle with lots of original condition, and the book also tells how few 40-72’s were ever made.

As usual, I had to go kill something and I did kill several deer, antelope and rabbits with it...

Which obe are you talking about?

What is that bag of fur?

1895's are unique rifles.

Serious lever gun power.

It helps to be famous when owning one.

That’s what a 40-72 will do to a porcupine...

Rifles with character; appropriate that they be favored by these two characters!
The book looks like a good addition to a Loony's library.
Thanks to both of you for sharing the pictures.

Good for both of them!!
