Julia Auction Company for their October sale has a LA County gun with a presale estimate of 6000-8500;
also an 8D at 4000-6500, two 11E's at 5000-7500, and two 11F's at 7000-12000. Check them out.

I'm liking it more and more every time one of these sells.

jim8008

Rarity in firearms collecting can be a great thing ... and expensive.

jim8008

Still looking for a 11-P Police Gun. Thanks.

jim8008

Me too. My only letdown was not being able to get grits on Saturday morning at the Spring Garden Restaurant. So maybe next year we can eat there on Wednesday morning, i.e., the only day they serve grits. Thousands of acres of corn ... and no grits. That ain't right. Jack, Connie and the other family...

Adam,

Check out LeRoy Merz Antique Firearms ... New Arrivals ... Item S1047.

You may never see this package again. Go ahead ... it's only money.

From personal experience, doesn't get any better than having "S and S Bob" and Mike Ryan working for you.

xtimberman, The 1895 rifle is one of the U.S. contract muskets. It was shipped from Winchester to the Springfield Armory on January 12, 1899. One of 10,000 total ordered, it was in the last shipment of 1,000. The rifle is marked U.S. on the receiver ring and there are several KSM inspector marks on ...

Hey Adam, The '92 was sort of an accidental purchase. My primary collecting interest is in Remington police and the U.S. martially marked Winchesters (from the Hotchkiss to the Model 70 Van Orden sniper). The little Trapper is a 14" in .38-40 from 1912 ... a good little shooter. I also have a 5...

Cam:

I've got 9992 police mag. So you know who's got 9993 police rifle?

Jim

jim8008

Now I think I understand the "Hairtrigger" moniker.

November 14-15

Well ... I'll be darned. He did know. Good going Bob.

Only Aggie there when they won the conference in '67 who was still there when they won the conference in '87. Party down.

jim8008

This sounds like an Aggie joke. S & S Bob won't know what that means.

I don't have $400.00. Spent all my money on cellphone antennas.

Hey Jack,

Iola is in northern Grimes County, ~ 25 miles northeast of College Station.

Jim

jim8008

I guess that means about 105 miles.

jim8008

How far is central Texas from Iola?

jim8008

Good thing to get old and get to that retirement fund, Mr. Woodall ... only way I can afford to buy all these guns.

jim8008

Ski trip to Maine in April. Oh, to be young again.

jim8008

Yes Cameron. But I doubt that you would buy them either.

jim8008

'nother junker, eh Bobby?

jim8008

Bob,

I can't say enough about this product. I would recommend it to everyone. I'm sending you a complimentary one.
Thank you for all you do.

Jim

jim8008

There are lots of pinheads. Duck.

jim8008

Then buy her one. She's tired of you hoggin' it.

jim8008

After reading the subsequent response to my previous post, perhaps I should have used the word "excessive" in lieu of "inordinate." I did not bid on the checkered rifle because I have no interest in owning a standard configuration Model 8 or 81. The notion of a scope on a POE rif...

jim8008

There has been an inordinate amount of onsite discussion over the past week regarding this rifle with the checkered past. Especially since some participants in this have apparently deemed it to be too expensive. Perhaps so. To buy or not to buy? That is the question, posed I believe, by Willie Shake...

jim8008

Don't expect to see a lot of Remington 8 and 81s at Tulsa. There will, however, be more Winchester 73s
at the show than Winchester made. And more Colt SAAs than Colt made.

jim8008

Yeah ... bring that early FBI rifle with you to Tulsa. I'll save the transfer.

jim8008

I owe it all to you Bob. Just need the Model 11 now to complete the set.

jim8008

You da man, S & S Bob. I got your package.

jim8008

You should do a children's book. Can the tiger have glow-in-the-dark eyes?

jim8008

Jack,

Look at LeRoy Merz, New Arrivals R2136. Not a carbine ... but nice.

Jim

jim8008

I think I would have walked away from the police station real quietly ... without comment.

jim8008

And how did great-grandfather manage to get his Spanish American War rifle out of the
hands of the U. S. government? What rifle was it? I may be interested in a burnt relic.

jim8008

Maybe Tennessee did not want to pay for stamping and they were done at Brushy Mountain Prison.

jim8008

Hay Bob. Still got the 2-digit for sale?

jim8008

jim8008

At Dallas Arms Show on June 8, some dude had at least 20 Remington buttplates of different types and materials ...
take one or all for $2 each. Seemed reasonable, since I recently bought a Winchester steel for $49.

jim8008

And don't forget the FBI rifle. I need it by the end of next month.

jim8008

Yoo-hoo ... Jack. Cam's calling.

jim8008

Since I am in the cattle business, I have decided to supplement my agricultural income by growing
mushrooms in cow manure substrate.

jim8008

The hanging tag is wrong. The caliber is not 25-35 WCF.

jim8008

Well ... looks like birds of a feather are flocking together.

jim8008

Cam,

If you find 81 #23, who you gonna call? The heat is on. Jack wants the trifecta.

I just want the two shotguns. My house is paid for.

Jim

And here's more to Bob's story ... I began searching for a Remington police gun in November 2009. After 23 months of looking and finding nothing, I contacted Cameron in late October 2011 to enlist his help. Then, as things happen sometime, three weeks later I stumbled upon a Model 8 magazine in .35 ...

jim8008

This pistol has been on Merz website for months. Move comma one spot to the left and take off last 0.

jim8008

Pitchy,

Beautiful workmanship on the steam engines.

My grandkids need folk art pieces; appreciation for a simpler time.

What's the story on the '76?

Jim

jim8008

"don't mess with Bobbie and Claude"

jim8008

Bob,

Next year I can probably get a Browning 1919 belt-fed up there for you to use. It will give you more bullets than the POE rifle.

Jim

jim8008

One day the conversions will all be originals.
