    Huntsville Gun Show

    Visited the show on Sunday. Just wanted to let everyone know, THAT show was the biggest waste of time and money I've invested in a long time, with the exception of the qualitiy time spent visiting and swapping stories with Paul. I've seen his display before at Birmingham and always enjoy seeing them again, but the gun show, what a joke. I don't mean to be synical, but I expect a lot more than that after driving 4 hrs to get there and another 4 hrs to get home.

    I must say its the first time I've had a chance to actually spend some uninterrupted time with Paul and get to know him better. He's very knowledgeable and has some exceptional pieces.

    The only other bright spot of the day was the little museum next door. If you've never visited the museum, you're missing out. They've got a lot of history packed into a small area. Well worth the time spent, there!

    I took some pics, but unfortunately I should have brought a better camera. Anyway here are a couple for you to look at. One of Paul's display and the other from the museum............enjoy.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Hey, Ken! Maybe it won't turn out to be such a waste of time in the long run. Now WBS is all fired up about carbines again. We'll see what comes of it....

    I'm just looking to get an accurate mix-master sometime this year.
