Couple years back we slowly sold a collection of early early Japanese matchlocks none were anywhere close decorated as these are .

I know where ones at , I’ve known the gun for fifty years and still haven’t been able to get it away from the owners

Very nice group ! Do you have an original Steyr Zephyr , One of the ones made in the 50’s or 60’s ?

I'd love to attend just to see the Parker Collector tables, sadly too much water in the way.. :( I’ve wanted to come your way for the Red Grouse opener in Scotland for darn near forty years . I can handle getting across the pond but paying the price to shoot the driven grouse opener is beyond my me...

Green with envy, here. I have been reading about the Vintagers for years. I’m actually a member but I’ve never been to the Cup event . Here’s a picture of the Parker table at the Northern SxS held at Rock Mountain Sporting Clays in Friendsville PA . There’s usually a theme of some sort with display...

My plans for the first quarter of 2024 start with Argentina and tentatively after getting back wait about ten days and off to the Philippines for thirty days then back to the USA in early to mid April and a week or so after the Southern SxS inSanford NC .

My exwife is Peruvian and before we divorced I’d thought we’d go down and see some of her family for a couple weeks . And of course if I was in SouthAmerica why not shoot somewhere but that never came to fruition . Now good Lord willing I’ll get there

6pt-sika

I am sure sorry you are gonna have to endure all that. :lol: Have a great time. Enjoy the country. I have only been in Argentina once .. it sure is a beautiful place and the people I met were really nice. True it is kinda beneath me to have to shoot anything other than a Parker lols ! All BS aside ...

Some how or other I got myself in a group of folks heading to Cordoba Argentina the end of February 2024 for three days of dove/pigeon shooting .

They’ve got a Parker what was a VHE 28 at Jaquas he engraved for I think 75k that would be nice . And Galazan has or had a Remington R-32 he had engraved and was in the 72 or 73 Gun Digest that I’d really like to have but that ones around 85k if my memories correct .

I just received the word that master engraver Winston Churchill left this world to be with his maker about seven hours ago . RIP

If I were doing the schuetzen stuff I’d be okay loading at the range during the match as was done in the heyday of schuetzen . But dealing with that artillery piece I don’t wanna be doing it with all the stuff that’s going on around this guy .

I, too, messed with Contenders in some of the TCU chamberings -- 6mm, 6.5 and 7mm -- but never the .25 for some reason. The Sharps must be a very useful tool indeed with that level of accuracy, especially with that Barnes bullet. 8) I have a 6.5 TCU with a 10” now . It does okay with the Nosler 120...

hope you limit out on your hunt, looks like a great project to develop those loads. To be honest I already have twenty five round boxes filled with each size of buckshot from #3 up to and including 00000 for the short 10’s . This was more a matter of me wanting to try roll crimped buckshot in the 1...

now that's gonna make a mark ! have you ever shot gel or clay or newsprint with those rounds? that's some massive firepower!! ;) grizz No I’ve killed deer with both sizes of buckshot in 10 gauges but with two less pellets both sizes . Also shot a deer with the same basic slug also 730 grains but on...

Decided to load a few to try with 0000 Buck (.380”) and a few with 00000 Buck (.395”) . Which unto itself is nothing new but in the past of gold crimped and used a mylar wrap as well as buffer . This time no mylar and the base part of the Gualandi/BPI wad also one 16 gauge 1/8” card under the bucksh...

WV Farrier , correct me if I'm wrong . As a non res I need the regular state hunting license for an initial buck tag as well as a conservation tag .

I’ve got period correct Winchester Rival brass 10 gauge hulls .

The makeup of these 10 gauge slugs I’d not tried in a 10 until I started messing with this very open gun . A Gualandi/BPI wad with the petals removed , five 1/8” 16 gauge card wads and then the .775” 730 grain slug roll crimped . Today or tommorrow I wanna try two from the right barrel offhand then...

I like to travel at 70-80ish MPH but this trip was about 165 miles and took3 1/2 hours .

I think if I cut the petals on the wad I’m using or an SP-10 it would be about the same .

I tried some .775” 730 grain slugs pushed with SR7625 in my Grade 1 top lever 10 gauge hammer gun with the 26” barrels . This gun left the factory quite open in the 26” barrels a kinda tight in the 30” barrels . WVA says no buckshot for deer but inside 35 or so yards the right barrel should drill a ...

If what I saw yesterday is any indication I should have a positive hunt as I saw deer from 9 AM until I was heading home at 2 PM . Granted you usually see deer a lot more in the summer , but it still looks quite positive . Now I need to refine my 8 gauge slug load and have it along over there .

Good gracious, I about got wrung out with sweat just thinking about hauling four 10-gauge doubles, ammo and a cooler on a humid afternoon. In my book, going three for four with a shotgun qualifies for good shooting! If I’ve got a golf cart or UTV I can go a bit longer . But pushing that cart with a...

I've been wondering which would be better, the Rock Island 9mm/22 TCM conversion or the new Springfield Prodigy. Not trying to be rude or negative , but if it isn’t a 1911 platform in usually not intrested . Rock Island from all I’ve seen makes a good product for the amount of scheckels you have to...
