12th Annual Northeast SxS Classic

[Cold Spring]

Sorry Dean, I have very few pics of that Fox which is a 12 gauge CE, my favorite sporting clays gun. Barrels have a ding in one muzzle and I just sent them off today to a friend to be laser microtigged. Kind of cosmetic but it bugs me. The other option was to trim the barrels to remove the ding which I didn't want to do. I'll post some pics after they come back and I finish off the weld. Here's the pic I sent to my friend who is doing this as a favor; his business is not gunsmithing and he isn't accepting "commissions".

Barrel was returned on Friday. Just to show what can be done with modern laser microtigging. That weld "bead" is about .006" above the surface. I'll finish it off with a fine file. Bluing on the adjacent barrel surface was not damaged in the slightest.

Any laser microtig source should be able to do work of this quality.

Link Wray was an institution here in Washington, DC. He played in local clubs for several years in my teenage period. Funny about that "club" business. They were "bars" in the Link Wray period, "clubs" in documentaries about the time.

Poetic license?

By elevating the social status of a 'bar' to that of a 'club' elevates the status of the author from merely being another 'voice' to being a 'historian'.

Or one goes from being a drunk to becoming a patron

Here's the original version of "Rumble" Sorry if there is a bit of a commercial at the beginning.

Any way can we get this thread back on track about the shoot?

[Harold Pickens]

I'm planning on going--had a great time last year.
Let's see, I've got 6 Foxes and 4 Parkers-what team do I shoot on?

[B. Dudley]

Sure thing Dave. I will see you all there.

It is a great time and the shooting is very challenging.

I do not know what will happen with me and this shoot in the upcoming years since it looks like we will be changing the dates that we hold the local Rochester Gun Shows. And they my conflict with Hausmans starting next year. And I can't exactly play hooky on a show that I help direct.

[Dean Romig]

If you're good you shoot for Team Parker. Conversely, if you're not so good, Team Fox could probably use you
