Historic Rifles at DSC
for those of you that like historic rifles, Bill Jones has kindly agreed to display some of his incredible collection. They will be located at the "firearms area" which is to the right of the main entrance and up the ramp.
these will be some of the same firearms displayed at this years NRA Convention, which some of were able to view. It looks like he will be showing: an Ernest Hemingway rifle, 2-FC Selous rifles, Fletcher Jameson rifle, 4-Elmer Kieth rifles, Maharajah rifle, and 3-Phillip Percival rifles. I saw some of these at NRA and they are fantastic firearms. I hope many of you will take the time to check these out.

So to the right of the main entrance Karl, not over by the ACGG folks, correct?


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Gents,

I was fortunate enough to see and shoot some of these rifles and just seeing them is worth the trip to Dallas.

I had the privilege to fire E. Hemingway's WR .577NE, E. Keith's WR .470NE, & F. Jamieson's WJJ .500 Jeffery
I strongly recommend avoidance of "The Zambezi Safari & Travel Co., Ltd." and "Pisces Sportfishing-Cabo San Lucas"

Ys, to the right of the entrance and up the ramp, probably 150 yards from the entrance and ALL of the firearms will be in the same area, including the ACGG group...rules have changed a bit in Texas.
