Northeast Ohio Bunch spring meeting

[Jebus35745]

As it turned out this morning, the basic .22 pistol wasn't in the way of our meeting. We ended way before 3 pm and they started at 3 pm. Wes wasn't sure what it was and how it got so many Saturdays???

Marked on the calendar unless something gets in the way. Need a SWCA Member to post it on the collectors side of the forum when it is started to be advertised. I am no longer a SWCA member, Larry

So based on past historical, the new thread for the 2024 fall bunch won't be created until the beginning of July. That'll give two months before the event, sounds good to me.

 

[Jebus35745]

Denny, you're always on top of it. Whoever starts the thread, I will copy and paste the places to stay and general guidelines for the day. Just change the dates, Larry

 

[MaxKimber]

Event added to my calendar!

 

[Jebus35745]

Max Kimber, it will be a pleasure to meet you finally. Hope some other new people attend. Denny has been busy buying new display guns, looks like some nice ones. Larry

Only local show this weekend is Lance's little Mentor show.
June 1 & 2 is the OGCA in Cleveland at the IX Center.
June 8 & 9 is Medina.

 

[Jebus35745]

Gonna be interesting to see how many vendors show up for any of em. Larry

 

[Bo Rich]

Larry, Are your thoughts with the new gun law that will go in effect this Month? I am not sure what it is all about. I did I read that it effects folks that sell guns for an income that don't have a FFL. Collectors that would sell or buy a gun for there collection would not be included. If you know of anything that may concern us please let us know.

 

[Jebus35745]

Don't think it was a law, an executive order. There is a thread on it here somewhere. Collectors supposedly allowed to buy & sell buy not sure how the profit part works. It's written so loosely anything you sell could be wrong or a profit. It will have to be challenged to find out what everything means. Larry

Went to Cabellas Avon. For cargo shorts and an outdoor chair. The two pair of cargo shorts I got there last time worked out well and wanted 2 more. The 2 colors I wanted there only had one of them. Also a 'reclineable' outdoor chair.

No local shows because of the holiday weekend.
Nothing on Armslist worth driving for, although there is a 27-2 6" which would put it 1967-1980, down Columbus way.

 

[Jebus35745]

Saw a Ruger mini 14 on the gunrunner auction, don't remember when it ended. You were lookin for one a while ago. Larry

 

[oldman10mm]

Just the more recent S/N', early ones had terrible accuracy. They finally got the accuracy dialed in with small modifications and proper twist rate barrel.
Starting about 1995, the barrel became 1:9 twist, 197 series.

Also watching for when FFF puts the Colt AR15A4 on sale, retro 22" barrel, detachable carry handle, Vietnam style stock, 1:7 twist.

Hope everyone is having a safe day.

OGCA is scheduled for the Cleveland IX center this upcoming weekend. Not interested in joining, not interested in going as a 'guest', over the years heard too many bad things about OGCAs' hierarchy. For those that are going, enjoy !

 

[Bo Rich]

I will be at the OGCA show on Saturday. If anyone needs a guest pass please let me know.

 

[Jebus35745]

Bo, we will need a report on how many people are there selling. Is it at the IX or Medina? Larry

 

[Bo Rich]

Larry, It will be at the IX in Brook park. I will be there Saturday Morning. If anybody decides to go, and needs a guest pass simply page me when you arrive. I will meet you, and sign for you. I will give a report as well.

 

[Jebus35745]

Thanks for letting anyone here have a chance to be a guest Saturday, very nice of you. Lot of room for vendors at the IX, will certainly be a good indication of the current situation. Have fun Saturday and thanks for the future report, Larry

OGCA show was on the small size for this event. Talked to the butchers that had tables. Had a nice visit with them. We are all looking forward to the 7th of September, and the bunch show. Was informed that the new AFT policy would not be in play in Ohio. Picked up some brass, bullets, and ammo at a decent price. Found a nice Model 94 big bore Angle eject in .375 Winchester which are very rare. Lots of Smith&Wesson revolvers. Some not too badly priced. Got there at 8:30 went through the show at 11:00. Had lunch went back to buy some items left at 1:30. I believe that the November show will have more vendors.
