butchlambertShilen Swap meet Saturday-my goods
I will have 2- 30-40 Krags and a 1909 Argentine rifles to get rid of. They were sporterized by common folks in the 50's probably. I will have a Persian barreled action that looks almost unfired. I will also probably have a Brno ZKM 451 rimfire there. I may sell my Siamese mauser receiver also.

butchlambertLooks like Cas will get the Argentine and New Guy has first dibbs on the Persian. We might move inside if the weather turns bad tomorrow. I found a $50 cm #1 contour 224 barrel for my L46 and a$50 #2 cm barrel for my 250-3000. These barrels are not seconds.

Hope you had good weather, was planning to make the trip but had winter storm warnings up and saw this first thing this morning. But then I wouldnt have found that pre 64 94 Winchester I've be wanting.

Us Okies know how to bring in the first day of spring...

butchlambertWe had a surprisingly large crowd, but only buyers and very few sellers. Shilen introduced their new rifle. It has an exact Remington footprint, Savage type barrel attachment, Savage removeable bolt nose, and of coarse a Shilen Select match barrel and trigger. McMillan will do the glass stocks and they have somebody to do the nice wood stocks. It is one of the smoothest operating bolt rifle that I have felt in a while. I was able to buy a #1 contour 222 barrel to use on my L46 Sako for $50 and also a $50 CM #2 contour barrel for my 250-3000.

Bailey BradshawMan I hate that I missed it. I was all set to go until 9pm the night before and had all sorts of stuff fall in my lap. Really stinks as I NEED a 7mm barrel. Also wanted to rub elbows with some of you gents.

CraftsmanI really wanted to go but wimped out because of the weather.
I went to the auction in New Castle instead and spent way too much money. We just finished at 9:30 PM. A very long day.
