Damn!! I just recieved the lists in the mail. Amazing diverse selection. I will scan and send them to someone that could post...if there is interest in such. I got first dibs on the 18" bull .17HMR encore tube. I need to call them about some of the wildcats... Color picture of their wood work too!
Dave

Are you talking about his list of chambering options or an actual list of current inventory? All of his literature that I have seen is the former.

Dave -
I'll post it, at least temporarily.

steve@1cox.com

Current Inventory. a page and a 1/8 of contender barrels. 3/4s of a page of encore tubes.
Thanks 1bub but It will be Monday before I can get them scanned....didnt bring them to work with me today.
I
better call Dave's shop and ask if they have any objections to us posting the lists.
Dave

ACK!

How many of you vote with me and we strong-arm to Dave to come in to work on Saturday and scan the list in.
I don't wanna wait til Monday!

i will be happy to post it here if you e-mail it to me.... (e-mail listed above)

I'd love to see that list posted.....I didn't know Dave had a "chambered" inventory. I have a barrel ordered from him right now but would still like to see what is on the list that I can't live without...

same here.

All scanned in and ready to go. Just waiting to speak with Dave VH for permission to post.
Nice try LouisB but my boss cant even get me to work Saturdays .......I took a walk with my smoke pole. The rut is getting cranked up here but the dang weather is warming up.

Dave, Are these barrels for sale from Van Horn? Why do you need his permission to post them? Is it a secret, or am I missing something?
Just asking.

CBJ No Secret. Just thought I'd ask since they dont belong to me. He said no problem this a.m. and I emailed the files to both Steve1bub and Mikemag this a.m. If you and I were trading correspondence regarding selling your inventory of small animal parts wouldnt you want me to ask your permission before I posted it up on the www somewhere? I dont know maybe it was the way I was brought up or something.

Thanks, Steve
Sorry about the .pdf s but I didnt know how you wanted them. You watch... If DVH gets tied up selling these somebody with a barrel on order is going to bitch at us for holding him up....
Dave

HELP!!! I can't open those files. Can someone please copy & paste them here (or open & e-mail them to btomek@gvec.net). I'd really apprecaite it.

I am dying to see the lists, even though I have an order with Dave right now as well...

Same here I could not open them either. I called Vanhorn and asked him to mail me a list.

Man! Look at ya'll runnin to the
phone
OK, Who got what????

The foam from everybody's mouth is coming through the monitor!

Yes, just download Adobe Acrobat guys. It's real good to have anyway.

Regards

Jules-
I have AR -- even reinstalled just in case -- but still, for whatever reason, cannot open those files. I'm not sure why the compatibility issue exists, but I sure want to see those lists...
Thanks,
Bobby

Bobby, You got mail. See if that works.

That's all I can do Bobby. My scanner is down.

Jules-
Thanks a bunch for e-mailing the lists to me. I really appreciate it.

Help, I have Acrobat and I can't open them either! Could one of you guys e-mail me the list too? Thanks, Jeff

Dave and 1Bubba,
Thanks for the lists. Decisions.....Decisions!
Rick

Jules, BTW there is part of a second page to the Contender list. Pick a few out and call em. OK what in the hell is a 375 Jurras?
I apologize in advance to everybody's children and wives for making their Christmas a little less special....unless of course there will be a new barrel under the tree for THEM and not DAD.
Dave

Try updating your Acrobats guys, that could be the problem. Mine in the latest form downloads the link perfectly. Just a thought.

Dave,

The Jurras rounds were chambered in custom Contenders made by Lee Jurras of Super Vel fame.

They were based on the 500 Nitro Express case which was shortened and were necked to use bullet diameters of .375, .416, .475, .458, and .510.

They were called "Howdah" pistols. There were approximately 100 of the pistols made before production was discontinued.

Some were made with 16" bbls and fitted with buttstocks to make little carbines.

Regards

sorry guys. they came to me in .pdf format and i don't have the time right now to print/scan and repost as an image. if someone else can, we can post that version too.

steve

Sorry gang.. ...good thing I can shoot better than I scan. I just scanned them into MS Word and sent them out. email me directly if you couldnt access the dreaded AA files. Caution Ive been know to leave work early during hunting season .
Dave

Well..........Did anyone get one????
I'm thinking of gettin one of the contender 24" 223s

I noticed he is listing a 7mm Krag barrel. I had one of these a few years ago I bought on Ebay. It was neat, but I was basically working without any load data on it. Tried a few loads and got decent accuracy and velocity with 140 grain Speers and didn't blow up myself or the gun!

I ended up selling it and bought a 30 Herrett barrel that Mike B rechambered to 308 Bellm. No regrets, but the 7mm Krag was kinda cool. Thought it might be one of a kind, but I guess DVH is doing them. Will have to ask him about the load data.

Tony,

Welcome to the board!

Was that 7mm Krag in the "Improved" profile or just a necked down Krag?

Regards

Headstamp, I'm guessing is was improved. Most of the taper was taken out and the shoulder was moved forward a bit. How's that for specifics?

It was rechambered by a smith in Arizona. I asked the guy I bought it from to ask the smith for loading data. Found out the smith died in the desert somehow and never got the data. I liked having the unusual chambering, but I like my 308 Bellm a lot more. Sure more comforting to have the data that Don Sherer (sp?) developed.
