The Peoples Choice C grade!!
 
Gentlemen
We currently have about 20+ really nice C grades being displayed for the Peoples Choice voting at the annual meeting. If you have not already, please let me know if you are going to bring one. We have chosen three very nice prizes:
1st place being one of Galazan's trunk cases with a commemorative plague.
If you have yet to commit to attend,do it now!!

David, the barrels on my CH Bernard gun are 30", LOP is 14 1/4" over the original SKBP and the drop is 3" exactly.

(just thought you might need those measurements for my case :rolleyes:)

That does it. I don't need a plague, commemorative or otherwise.

How 'bout a pox then?

Bruce-

You better come to the meeting this year. This years People's Choice is right up your alley and I have a sneaking suspicion that you could display a couple of nice ones that collectors might enjoy...


Banquet tickets are still available! Dont forget to reach out to Dave Suponski to get your tickets now.

Everyone has seen my C's before, and all the experts want a high percentage of case colors. Some of mine, including the little 20ga damascus with wood duck engraving, are pretty much silver patinaed frame. Others, such as the 16 Bernard, already won the award a couple years ago and has been shown around. I have the last C in the records, but it is a Rem gun. Although it is a light 12 with straight grip and it is one of my favorites, I know some collectors don't like Rem guns. I have them from almost first to last, but I have nothing new and haven't seen anything so compelling in the last few years that I have to have it. I'm still looking for another small ga. Bernard but I'd have to arm wrestle Charlie for it if one of us found it.

Charlie has a 20ga CHE damascus and a 28ga CHE Acme that are absolutely smashing and would get my vote for best guns. I sent him a 12ga from 1927 that is new and only missing the box. That's where you want to be.

So, I'll probably come if you want high grade guns to fill the table, but mine have been shown around, don't need a Galazan case, and don't really buy, sell or trade anything. I have enough to fill the plague, famine, war and pestilence categories.

I, for one, would like to see your Remington C and I know David has a Remington or two as well. And I like the Remington Parkers every bit as much as I like the Meriden Parkers.

Lt Col Day
It is not an option for you to not bring at least one of your great C grades!
I have only seen one of them and really like the Remington guns.Upon further consideration, a minimum of two is required and you are so ordered.

Dean
That is the case I have ordered!

David,
Deb and I have decided to drive rather than fly so I will bring along a C for the display as well. Larry
