MN WEAPONS COLLECTORS OCT. 30&31, 2010











We took our revised Lee Straight Pull display to this show. As you can see ,we put more emphasis on the USS Maine gun. We felt that the display looked really good. We met with friends there and had a good time visiting. We won Second Place in the Antique Long Gun category, and Best Educational display.

ST. LOUIS ANTIQUE ARMS SEPT. 17-19


St. Louis is just across the river from us, so it was an easy trip. We won Best of Show with our Lee Straight Pull display which featured one of the rifles recovered from the USS Maine in 1898. It is a pleasure to display at this show as the members of this club are very knowledgeble as concerns firearms and history.

DALLAS AUG. 21,22, 2010




I took our Winchester Lever Action in the Service display to Dallas. I went with Larry Wales who took his awesome Newton rifle display. There were about 15 displays. Larry won Second Place, and I did not win a thing. But it was a good trip, and I would do it again.
