I hope all of you have a great time, I'm not going to be able to make it this year as my daughter graduates with honors that weekend. I haven't missed this shoot in a long time and will miss seeing all of the guys that I only see once a year but hopefully I'll see you guys next year.
Don't forget to stop by Drake's Landing for some SXS shooting on Thursday and Friday morning, it's a great place nice people and fair prices. We started shooting there five years ago and now about 75 or so shooters go there and have fun shooting great targets and then go over to Deep River to shop and see people

Stan,
You need to find me and see the latest project gun. It is a H. Leue, Berlin, pre-1892 16 hammer gun. It is not like any 16 back action Jones lever hammer gun I've ever seen.
It has 32" Damascus shotgun barrels (London Proof 2 3/4" nitro).
It also has a set of 26" 16 ga Damascus RIFLE barrels (London Proof, 2 9/16" Black powder).
The gun weighs in at 9 1/4 lbs with either barrel. Both barrels have the same SN. The shotgun barrels had dent raised. It was apparently reproofed prior to finishing the barrel work. The proof on both barrels is 2005.
So, how many 9 1/4 lb 32" 16s could there be that also have rifle barrels?
I'll walk it over to the German gun collectors for some ideas. The barrels need browning. I can do that. It is just so cool that I'll bring it along. I could shoot hammer 16. The gun is in proof. The only thing is it weighs only 1/4 lbs less than my Boswell 32" 10 ga.
Maybe I'll go out and shoot 2 events at a time. No, I'd need a gun bearer.
Joe

I WILL find you and take a look at that. Sounds really cool. I do love 32" barreled 16s.
I looked over my S1 series Brileys and here's what I can let go:
1- lt.modified
2- Improved cylinder
3 -skeet
2-cylinder
I'll bring them all and you can be thinking about what you want.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

In preparation for the Southern tomorrow, I'm going through my battery, trying to make a decision about parting with an old friend. I promised myself I would reduce my holdings by one as penance for a recent sinful acquisition. Now that it comes down to it, I am finding it hard to follow through with that rash vow made in a weak moment weeks ago! I must follow through...

Wife and I went last year. It was very nice, but we cannot afford to go to them all; so this year, I will attend the one in Medford, Wisconsin.

I am resting from my second day spent at the southern. Shot 20 ga and 16ga today and will shoot 28 ga tomorrow. Brought along a non shooting friend that likes vintage sxs . He has gone over the edge! Has bought a Fox XE 20ga, a Parker VH 20 ga, and W C Scott 20 ga.! Says he has never seen so many doubles! I think he might be out of cash but still has his credit card? I have the possibility of a trade for a Merkel 301E 20 ga in the works! I am not looking forward to the drive back to western Illinois,14 hours on the road isn't fun anymore.
