Anyone find any special guns they couldn’t live without? I scoured the tables for several hours and didn’t see anything at all close to my “wish list” guns. There were some very nice guns there, especially on Josh Lo’s table, but nothing I was looking for. Kevin McCormack had a lovely little straight stock Fox 20/32” on display!

I picked up the little Belgium 410 hammer gun from Brian Hornaceck , John Allgood caught me at a weak moment and I bought a Grade 1 10 gauge 3 frame 32” gun with a good bit of condition ( first time I fired the gun was in the hammer challenge). Bought a quite nice little Parker VHE 16 gauge skeet gun (26” , straight grip , SST , beaver tail , checkered butt ). An LOM from Kevin for the skeet gun and two other cases from the Lowensteiner Boutique

I actually had a couple things there I would have liked to move , but I don't think I mentioned them and I know for a fact they never saw the light of day in NC .

I was there mid-day Friday for several hours. I think most folks were out shooting! I did speak with a few PGCA members but the Parker tent was basically empty the couple of times I dropped in. I had originally planned to come back on Saturday but the plans kind of changed last minute and I didn't get back. As always it was an enjoyable time despite the fact that I came home empty handed.

We were there Thursday. No one in the tent when we checked, and Josh was the only member we spoke with (he had some great guns). There were certainly lots of great guns to look at…and Elaine let me take one home. Scheming how to blood it now. What a great problem.

Not home yet…

Reggie, I’m sorry I missed you. Next year let’s see if we can rendezvous at Josh’s table.
