Mike: Wish I could make the trip, but I know my old man will have a great time with ya'll. I can't wait to see the pics and video clips! When the .577 is finished, we'll have to plan another shoot! Butch already asked us to send him video of us shooting it! 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

Hi MIke, That would be a good enough reason to drive up and visit but, a good friend of ours is a docent at the Air and Space Museum at Dulles. He is taking the Mrs and I on a private tour tommorrow. I have been looking forward to this for some time. Let me know the next time you are going to make a day of it. Keith What counts is what you learn after you know it all!!! | |||

Did you click on the photo once you have accessed Photobucket (new page opens with the photo) and then click it again (to run the video)? That is the way it works for me. Regards, Terry Msasi haogopi mwiba [A hunter is not afraid of thorns] | |||

Mike, Matt, And Jack, Had a blast with you all on Saturday! I'm glad I was able to make it! I hope we can do another get together as soon as the .577 gets here, or earlier as it might be a couple more months for the engraving to be finished! Doc52 B.

Mike, The famars is a very great rifle,the epitome of of luxuous rifles. I hope You take great care of it. Not sure they might be more than 50 in the USA. In 2 weeks, at the Rambouillet Fair, we (Wink, Edmond, Boghossian, Dombrax, StuC) will meet Mrs Abbiatico on the Famars stand. Have You any request we can convey? good luck J B de Runz Be careful when blindly following the masses ... generally the "m" is silent | |||

is the Champlin one of the ones Champlin/Famars did back in the 90's or do they still collaborate on Doubles? I thought they only did that for a short time. _BAxter p.s. That Merkel looks amazing. I have always like their shotguns abut as of yet, not fooled with the doubles... | |||
