Default Baltimore Antique Arms Show

Are any PGCA members planning on attending the show this weekend? Kevin McCormack and I will be manning tables B-4 and B-5 as always. We haven't heard from any of the other regulars. Let us know whether you will be there.

Hi, Daryl, we'll miss you. Chuck, I still recommend that visitors park in the commuter lot on the other side of the tracks from the show venue and walk to the show from behind the building. Getting out of the fairgrounds parking lot at 5:00 on Saturday is a terrible experience.

Bill, as a recent resident of Maryland I plan to be there Saturday. I grew up in that vicinity, has it changed much since 1970?

No change at all. Well, I-83 is paved now, but the McDonalds is still on the corner of Timonium Road and York Road and the Loch Raven Skeet Club is still up the street on the reservoir. I have not been on your side of Fishing Bay for a while. My father in law spent a lot of time at a lodge on the top of Fishing Bay on the Transquaking. I have a friend who has a neglected RSA across the water from you in Wingate. I love that part of the country.

Thanks Bill,
This is a beautiful place. I'm still getting my bearings. I've been spoiled for many years by mild winters and early springs in the South. I'm told I'm the fifty-eighth resident on the island. I am amazed by the peaceful quiet and abundance of wildlife. See you Saturday.

Bill, the measurements I took from my 0-frame 16 ga. GHE and my 1-frame 12 ga. GH are really close and I have a 1 or 1 1/2-frame stock I hope to fit to the 0-frame gun. I bought a nice dremel and I'm working very carefully on the wood to bring it as close as I possibly can. I really haven't decided if I'll continue with this endeavor.

Are you staying in Baltimore or at home and commuting?

Bill, is that stock from the rusted out DHE recently turned up in coastal ME or NH ?

Dave,

It's plenty good enough if you eat it fresh and hot, let go cold it's got a tallowish flavor that I don't care for.
