John, DO RESTORE IT!!! Mount it on a flat bed trailer and take it to the bigger matches and shows as a portable gallery side event. You should be able to make back the restoration costs in short order. I know I would schedule a half a day to shoot on it myself.

Great suggestion Fred! John, that's something I could get into when I retire. I think they would be lined up tp shoot this at the major shoots. Instead of bringing their vintage doubles they would bring their vintage or modern .22's.

But where would we find gallery ammo that won't ricochet of spatter?

Why, RST of course.

Daryl, I more envisioned folks bringing their vintage .22 rifles in addition to their vintage shotguns. The .22 gallery could run during the evenings "under the lights", just like most of the original galleries. Add a synthesized surround sound system playing vintage amusement park background noise. I agree that the waiting line would be long. Perhaps an additional restored portable amusement ride could be brought in to accommodate those while waiting. No "Fun House" or "Tunnel of Love" though, the long term liability is far too great for any insurer to underwrite..
Can anyone recommend a gunsmith doing Parker Snow musket conversions and sleeving to .22 short? I need to start getting ready for the team event now! |

Look at this box of Disintegrating ammo which Destry recently sold on this forum. Notice anything special, like the word Disintegrating? Let's be careful out there! Mark

Some of those animal targets look cast. Standard .22 ammo could break them, in addition to ricocheting. Without anti-spatter ammo, that gallery is just a museum piece.
