ChopperGuyBiebs-You do need to bring a camera and get some pictures of the 6.5 for me.
Don't need to see what's under the raincoat!

BiebsI'll get pix after I'm done thoroughly fondling it!!!

Bailey BradshawBiebs,
you are a hoot!
05 January 2011, 18:28
ddrhookyour all late Bailey already told me I could get the first fondle of the new rifle

last week

he even promised me a private moment alone with the little darling

Bailey BradshawThis whole thing is taking an unexpected .....and slightly strange....turn.
I kind of feel like a pimp....
06 January 2011, 06:56
BiebsOr a farmer with an ultra-hot, blonde, and naive daughter!!!!!

Bailey BradshawAgain with one simple line we have decended to another level of depravity....
06 January 2011, 07:03
GeoffM24Your work looks incredible. I saw a Martini and Hagn rifle in an old double gun journal with a similar idea. It seems to me this is a far stronger and superior way to make a double rifle. I can't wait to read the reviews.
07 January 2011, 18:10
ChopperGuyOnly a pimp if you charge a "fondling" fee!
Actually not a bad idea - A way to subsidize future projects!

leo toralballaSpent an hour at Bailey's booth. Met him, his lovely wife and family. Played with his wonderful light F'son single in 22 Hornet (on special for the show). Almost bought it.
Fondled the F'son double in 6.5. Gorgeous!!!! Ordered one in 22 Hornet!!!!! Will probably get a Damascus action! Life good.
Bailey is a craftsman and artist. I look forward to seeing the rifle as it comes into being.

butchlambertBailey's work is much better in person if that is possible. You better jump on one now before the word gets out.

Bailey BradshawJust back to the hotel for the night. Show is over and we had to stay another night due to bad weather.
It was a great show for me. The resonse to my falling block double was great. Many PH's are interested in them too, which is thrilling for me. That's just where I want some of these doubles to go.
I took a couple of firm orders, made several contacts and expect more orders in the coming days. Cabela's will get one in .22 hornet ( Of course not as nice as yours will be Leo).
Tons of appreciation to Biebs, Larry K. and a Hooker ( DDrHook to be exact) :-) This is a great community to be involved with.
Leo,
I'm really looking forward to your order. Small doubles make me weak in the knees. Thanks so much for the opportunity to make one for you.

Bailey it was great meeting you and Jerking your chain!!!you handled it well. But a man with a wife and five kids it probable used to getting a little jerking around

I'm looking forward to getting things arrange to do all the stuff we talked about

JTEXThat falling block double was something special for sure.
And the extractors did work just like ejectors when you flipped the lever down fast.
What a rifle!

If Bailey was used to a little "jerking", he wouldn't have 5 kids! (Once again, Bailey, sinking into depravity!!!)

Probably a good thing!

Bailey BradshawThis conversation reminds me of my Navy days, sitting in the berthing lounge as we watch the same porn flick for the 15th time after being at sea for three weeks plus.

elk88101GEE I have been missing some great posts.
Just got back from Alabama after Dallas.
Well Bailey the wood blank pictures is great I will post it later.
Biebs and I are very happy to be on the ground floor with this new rifle production project.
I believe after we show off Biebs 500 and my 450 NE you will be swamped with that gun building business.
I also want to pass on that it was great meeting your family. Keep up the good work.

Geez! You're bringing back horrible memories of covering the ER back in the 80s. Duct tape and popsicle sticks ain't nuthin and you DON'T want to know any more than that!

ddrhookCCMDoc,
I know what you mean as a nurse you see it all. like the guy who lost/found the flash light!!!! and it was turned on :jumping
16 January 2011, 17:24
ddrhookPS. who high jacked this thread it started out as such a nice thread. and Bailey builds such nice rifles, I bet when he get's his new glasses he will realize it has to barrels side by side instead of one barrel and he will be embarrassed. at least the new glasses will cure his double vision

Don't tell me, the story was the person
"just sat down fast and it was there!"
We can blame Biebs for this off-course venture.
Now back to Bailey's gun building biddness.

ddrhookDOC,
So you have heard the same excuses too??

it is amazing what people with do
yeep blame biebs sounds good to me too he deserves the blame
I hope to get to spend some time at Baileys place in the near future and I will make sure everyone gets to read about it.
21 January 2011, 02:43
Max TraumaHow much more pressure could this action take over a standard double. The reason I am asking is that it would be nice to take a 470 NE and load to about 50,000cip. Make reamers that would move the shoulder of the case a little forward so that loaded cartridges would not be accidentally used in a reg 470 NE but reg 470 NE could be use to fire form brass.

Yep - heard that one too!

Think there is a book for these excuses and it is required reading for the masses who present to ED (ER for us old guys) at 3AM?

And tell me, why is the champagne flute, battery, salt shaker, lightbulb, etc. always lubed and upright on the chair when they "sat down fast"? And why were they naked in the first place?

And the things I have cut off and pulled out of people ...

OK, if anyone thinks this stuff is fabricated, I'll tell you that radiologists have file cabinets full of images of such - PHI removed to protect the "innocent".
Now Biebs, are you sorry you caused a perfectly good thread on aperfectly good subject with a perfectly innocent man involved to stray?

ddrhookya I bet between you and SGraves155 it would be a #1 best seller if you wrote a book.(( some time ask Doc graves about the dip weed who came in to ER with his foot chewed off by an ice auger

. and a year later walked into ER as a student nurse

21 January 2011, 04:10
BiebsSorry, I was off in La La Land thinking about my new double!!!
