Preliminary event to the gun show at RIR.

I may be there. I haven't gone in for the surgery and really can't eat and I have to get the winter wheat planted...but as long as I'm here, I might stop in, go to the show then drive home on Sunday to plant.

Whether I go to the show depends on if I order the 45ACP to 460 Rowland 1911 conversion my finger has been hovering over all day.:uhoh:

Hi. My name is skidmark and I own guns.

Tanner, if you started confessing you sins tonight (let alone making amends) you would be busy into the middle of next week.

It's always good to have breakfast before sitting at the VCDL table in the afternoon. I'll also be roaming the aisles in search of some magazines and ammo.

stay safe.

I don't know about the show because I just became the owner to be of a .460 Rowland (I'm tired of people talking about Grapeshot's purdy gun). But I'll try for breakfast.

Fixed it for you.

Now there is a novel thought - expecting. What is the anticipated gestation period?

Trust you'll be able to sit and tell how the delivery went. Will you send out announcement cards?

My 1911 does not feel intimidated. Ya though it walks through the valley of clones, its presence comforts me and it will still be the purdiest of all.

There are plenty of Saturdays left in your life.
Don't forget there is an OC Dinner on the Second Tuesday of the month.

The Happy event should be next Wednesday Grape:dude:

I need to load some play ammunition before. This overpowers my 44 Magnums but still keeps the politically correct 1911 form:uhoh:.

I won't feel undergunned in the burbs anymore.

That 9mm started this. I was so ashamed carrying it, I ordered a 38 Super chambering reamer. While I was contemplating the conversion, I decided to look into the .460 too. The rest is history in the making.:rolleyes:

Well, I'm glad you got so much joy out of my humiliation :p

BUT...the next time you see that thing it will be a 38 Super and will be fit to be worn in decent society.:cool:

The 460 will be up and running Wednesday night. I've got the lead pot heating up now to cast some 250 grain hard cast bullets so I can start working up loads.:dude:

I was going on what Georgia Arms said. Hope they get to the right place.

I have over 2 dozen different powders. None suitable for that .460 so I have to buy powder.
The brass is on back order and I had to settle for 50 cases for now.

What with all the talk about the gun show, I thought it would be nice to go visit The Queen of Snark and rip off her best song EVAR:

Meanwhile, today is Fun Show Day! Let's sing the Fun Show Song!
Flintlocks and Flop-tops
And Number Three Russians
Black-powder Mausers
From jackbooted Prussians,
Shiny Smith PC's from limited runs
These are a few of my favorite guns.

Socketed bay'nets
On Zulu War rifles,
Engraved, iv'ried Lugers
That make quite an eyefull
Mosin tomato stakes sold by the ton
These are a few of my favorite guns.

Rusty top-breaks!
Smallbore Schuetzens!
And all of Browning's spawn
I just keep on browsing my favorite guns
Until all my money's gone.

The Von Trapp Family will never be the same.

stay safe.
