Default Waterfowl Festival-Gun Show Easton, MD

Kevin McCormack and I are off to the Waterfowl Festival and Gun Show at Easton, MD for the weekend. We hope to land a big Parker fish and Kevin is selling some of his great cases. I may take a break at 11 AM and go over to the Talbot Rod and Gun Club to watch exhibition shooter Tim Bradley do his show. We have all seen videos of his demonstration, but he is doing it in person today and tomorrow. I'll keep you posted about the great deals.

Bill, I hate to hijack your thread but I tried to PM Kevin with no avail. This is a question for Kevin. What kind of glue would you recomend to reattach the small end of a LOM case? Thank you.

Tom, I never use glue to reattach encaps to a case; I handsew everything. The only time I use glue is to layer up handle filler strips when I'm making a custom handle or when I need to firmly set the "butterfly" type handle loops in place before I stitch them on. These come up and over the top of the case and go down the sides about an inch and a half, so there is no way to hold them in place as you try to stitch the margin lines. Glue has probably ruined more cases than rendered them usable again. Stay away from it unless there is absolutely no alternative; it's a mess to work with and NEVER dries "clear", as most manufacturers claim.

Never ask Kevin about glue unless you want a longer reply than you planned to get from him. I gave him another project today and I want him to concentrate in it. The show today was more than I could have imagined. A bunch of Parkers of not too much merit, very nice Winchester pump guns, a neat Baker Paragon with fluid steel barrels, a Parker Special Steel GH Grade ten gauge, an Easton, MD marked hammer gun that may have been a Lindner, a high condition late 20 gauge Model 11D Remington, a rather high condition non ejector, double trigger 20 gauge Model 21, a high condition Francotte 20 gauge ejector gun with Miller trigger, you name it. Come on down, you may find more.

Thank You Kevin, I kind of remember you saying that but I just wanted to make sure. Glue seems like a easy fix but is irreversible so I wanted to do it right. Thanks again.

Hey Kevin do you still have that 26" A & F case you had at the Vintagers? I am interested. Paul

He still had it when he left the show Saturday. Destry, now that's a silly question. "Read my list." You get to pick one item off the list.
