Anyone need a few horns?

This is an original full stock Hawkin.

These barrel making guys must have been really hot, it was over 90 today and humid.

I'll take one of each.

Nice rifles.

I wouldn't mind having this sitting in my front yard.

Aaahh!! I really wanted to be able to make it! I know it's going on again tomorrow, but I think family obligations will prohibit me from going. Get some more pics if ya can! :thumbsup:

Ah, John,
That is the cannon that makes the most noise! And the most often. Did you get to see the matchlock pistol on the judging table? I didn't even think to take a pic of it. In a way, taking a pic of an object makes it your own in a small way. Can you see the logic in that?

the place :rotf: :rotf: . Great pictures! Did
you happen to pick anything up.
Thanks for sharing...

I saw the matchlock pistol, neat, I had never seen one in person.

I only picked up a few small things, 3 antler tip powder measures, a leather covered glass canteen, a loading block with starter built in for my 54 cal, and the neatest little bore light you ever saw, it fits in the bore of my 40 cal with room to spare. And only cost $15 with two extra batteries.

A buddy of mine built one of those pistols.... the one with the antler in the handle... hope he does well.

Hey Slowpoke, I had a dream come true at Dixon's. I got to see the Butterfly gun close up and beautiful. Larry also had his deer gun and squirrel gun there. WOW. I had to stop and look at them several times. I am glad you told me about Larry sometime back. Thanks

Yeah, he's a terrific builder and a great friend. I was just over there last night. Sorry I wasn't able to attend this year, I'll catch up with you next year.

My buddy Joe built that pistol, he got 3rd place
Oh well....

John,
I think I have the bore lite you speak of....It's like a bullet you drop down the
barrell after a slight twist to turn on the lite. Mine works great on .45 to .54 cals. I don't go to a gun show without it. Of course there is always that area below the light....But you will know a lot about it just by looking at the rest of the barrel IMO

This one only measures .252 in dia if you take the little pocket clip off. It fits down the barrel of my 40 cal with room to spare. The only down side it that it's so bright.

John S., do you know who makes that light?

 

[john s mosby]

It's made by Coast Products, PO Box 5821, Portland, OR 97228. It's called "LED Lenser", Optoelectronics. I was told they have a web site but I didn't check.
