Had lunch wih griff today
Always great to spend time with him, catch up with his stories and learn a few things about lever guns. Thanks for the time today Griff. Blessings

Re: Had lunch wih griff today
Nay, nay Mike. The pleasure was mine. Although... my stories get old & boring after the 1st time... but wait! Didn't you used to spend months couped up in a hollow tube listening to a bunch of swabbies rehashing their old stories? Anyway, thanks for lunch... next time we have get away & do some shootin'... I got this nice, shiney .30-30 Trapper... maybe I can get permission to drag it aong with me... Oh wait, I have two full months b4 his b-day... he won't notice any "new" scratches! And if that isn't a go, we need to pry Sixgun ouot of the Eagles nest, he' got enough for all of us!
OS... "Intellectual"? ME? While I admit to doing nithing but sitting around all day thinkin' up cures for all mankind's problems, I've only come up with ONE. "Thinning the herd" is only a stop-gap measure; and while the application mechanics aren't real challenging, ensuring a consensus on the exact operational details proves excessively so.

Re: Had lunch wih griff today
Dang! You guys get to do all the fun stuff! I see Griff is poking around us yanks again. BTW Mike, did you check your wallet after Griff left---missing any guns?
Hey Griff--that sure was some wild video down in your neck of the woods with the big trucks flying in the air! I bet your glad yo be up here. --------------Sixgun

Re: Had lunch wih griff today
Griff seems to have an affinity for model 94s. I am less one since our visit.

Re: Had lunch wih griff today
Yep, Mike was less one 94, and my wallet that was lighter! Actually, my affinity is for .30-30s... and the Winchester 94 just happens to be the perfect platform for the cartridge! Anyway, another pretty 94 for my son's collection... At least that's how I'm justifying it! Legendary Lawman .30-30 Trapper, produced in 1977. This one is a shooter, and we'll see just how well of one when I get home next.Sixgun wrote:Dang! You guys get to do all the fun stuff! I see Griff is poking around us yanks again.

Except for a couple of storage or handling dings... near perfect. A couple of screws have issues... but that's why I have SPARES!!!
OS,
Yep, read that... never claimed to have any originality...

Re: Had lunch wih griff today
See...Griff snags another one that is never to be seen again by us northerners. Stay down there and leave our guns alone!!!
Looks good Griff! One thing for sure it will be a great shooter. (that first pic looks like it was blessed by the Pope....you know, with all the bright light and all. )
