Put on my calendar.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY Then read again. If you ever thought of attending please join us for a fun day enjoying what we collect. Anyone from Ohio and neighboring states are welcome.

Directions, take the Stearns-Crocker exit off I-480 and go north. The first red light is Lorain rd, turn left. Go ABOUT a mile to Barton rd, turn right. The first stop sign is Bradley rd, turn right. The club is about 100 yards on the right. Tan building with a big gravel parking lot and a trap field.

Admission is 5.00 and Bring a “plate of food to share”, enough for 10-15 people. Be creative so we eat good food like we always do. All the plates, bowls, napkins, toothpicks and plastic silverware will be provided. Full kitchen cooking facility is available, oven, griddle, microwave and stove. Bring a friend if he likes S&W’s to share a ride. ***We need more main dishes and sides ***

Bring your ALL TIME FAVORITE S&W’s to display even if we saw them. Guns, boxes and accessories can be brought to sell. There are 20 8 ft tables available, first come first serve. If needed, we can crunch together. ***BRING a COMFORTABLE lawn chair for sitting***, the club chairs are hard plastic.

Security, while *talking* watch what is going on, if someone picks something up make sure he doesn’t walk out the door with it. Let me know and I will confront him. Nothing has been stolen in 12 years.

*Concealed carry* is allowed but KEEP the gun ***in its holster***. There is an unloading board on the wall if you need to unload it to show someone your gun. Don’t unload by your table, ITS UNSAFE. CLUB RULE

HOTELS, at exit 6a & 6b off of I-480, there are a bunch of hotels. This is one exit from where we meet, not real far. There are plenty of restaurants here also. You will have to choose your own place, this is a *safe area* to stay.

Hope we get some new members, 2 months away but will go fast. If any questions ask them HERE so everyone can see the answer. Enjoy life till we meet.

Hope we have a big crowd and gourmet food. I believe we are around 13 years of meetings twice a year, Larry

I will be there!

Made it, Ma! Top of the world!

Just marked the date on my calendar. Although it is earlier than previous spring meetings, it may very well turn out to be a good thing. The weather probably won't be that great and it won't interfere with spring break or vacation plans. Hopefully we will have an excellent turnout.

I will try to put together a small display of some type. I haven't really added much to my collection lately, most of the long-standing members have seen the bulk of it.

Best regards, Bob.

I will try to make it. I will be about a Month and a half from my hip replacement surgery.

Got some cold weather coming Tuesday, been lucky so far. Larry

Anybody know if e-mail notices are going to be sent out ?

Hope to see some old ffiends and make new ones this spring?
jcelect

About a month & a half away. My is time flying. We made it thru the cold snap, now the snow we needed at Christmas is coming. Stay warm and buy some S&W’s to display. Larry

Berea show this weekend, a chance to buy some.

i’ll be walking around a VERY Nice 4 inch 686 and 4 inch 65 on sunday the 686 is a -3 65 -2 P&R agency stamped

Plan on being there tomorrow depending on the snow. Larry

Was planning on today but had to dig out, did groceries instead. Snowfall wasn't as deep as it looked. I'll try for Berea tomorrow. Looking for a K Square grip, open backstrap, no checkering or medallion. Also pre-lock revolvers.

Was there from 11 to noon. Viewed many but prices too high. Talked to DanT. Couple other 'bunchers' were there, found out e-mail notices will go out as the event get closer.

Didn't see anyone with a 686 & a 65.

Was looking at/for 681/686 & 65/66 and nickeled 581/586 & M10.

Akron show this upcoming weekend, the search for will continue.

Denny,
Have fun at the Akron Show…I’ve attended it a couple times since I moved to SC.
It’s been a few years though…hopefully you find what you are looking for👍

Take a ride around the Tallmadge Circle for me …the original roundabout 🤣🤣

Pete

After the show I usually go to the circle and take the southeast avenue to Summit Racing Equipment, then back to the circle and hit the little A&W drive-in burger joint (female car hops) for good burgers and fries.
There also used to be a Manners Big Boy spot on the circle.

I think there's an older roundabout in Deerfield at Rts 14 & 224.

Nice trip south Denny, full of fun stops. Do you still drag race any? If interested in one of Browns Fan’s guns, PM him. I’m sure Rudy would meet up with you.

Pete, you are destined to move back here since you are so familiar with the area. You could take over the Bunch, Larry

That's a name I haven't heard in decades. Back in my skinnier and younger days I could eat three of those in one sitting.

We used to have 4 in the area, Lakeshore Blvd at Neff Rd, Euclid Ave at E.276, Euclid Ave near Noble Rd (just below Nela Park), & Euclid/Mentor Ave just east of Vine Street. All 4 were known for street racing action and female carhops.

Going way back to the late 60s', DanT and I would meet at the E.276 spot. We both had 65 Buick Skylark GranSports.

I think there must have been one on Mentor Avenue in Painesville, because I seem to remember eating them for lunch when I worked at Kroger's in the Painesville Shopping Center.

There's still 2 in the area, in Brookpark and in Valley View on Granger Rd just east of the Rt21 'cloverleaf'. I'll have to stop at that one during my next Broadview Hgts trip.

Tomorrow will be 5 weeks to go.

Went to the Akron show, was there from 11:30 to 12:30. Surprised by the large crowd as I don't normally go on Saturdays. Said hi to DanT and did other socializing. Found nothing, grips or S&Ws'.

Had to do some route re-routing on the way there because of the tanker truck accident/fire at I271/Rt.8. Probably about a 15 mile drive around.

Larry, I read that you picked up a Ruger #1 rechambered for .32 WCF. That is pretty neat! I have been loading my 1992 Winchester in that caliber for years. If you want I can get to you sme of my reloading dope for the .32 WCF. I am healing well after my hip replacement, and plan on being at the bunch on the 2nd of March. Have fun shooting you #1.

2 shows upcoming weekend, Warren and East Canton ( small but interesting show).

one month away !

There is a gun show in Gettysburg this weekend at the All-Star Center.

Bo, good luck with the hip replacement, you will be better than before the operation. Everything OK after surgery?? Looking forward to the upcoming bunch. Larry

Thanks Larry, I am doing much better! Looking forward to seeing everybody on March 2nd!

When e-mail notices start eventually to go out, post up if you get one.

I'm gonna have much un-common brass that I got from Kendall Ordnance and I'll list them after the e-mail notices go out/are received.

I went to the Gettysburg gun show today. It was pretty comfortable with the wide aisles. Reasonable gun prices could be found. I saw a nickel Model 27 that I would have liked but my credit card is laboring under the CMP Model 1911 I just acquired. But there were still reloading components prices in the stratosphere. I saw a couple vendors I've known for years and got in a mile worth of steps, and that's always good.

Golddoller, What did he CMP send you? I got a nice Range grade/National Match in early January

I got a Service Grade 1911A1 with a Colt frame and a Remington Rand slide, built in 1943. And both parts have what looks like an original blued finish. They don't look like they were stripped and parkerized. When the gun is in battery there is almost no movement between the slide and frame. I need to take it out to play with it and come back with a range report.

Nice gun Goldollar, how about a picture? Got the email about the upcoming meeting. Larry

Here you go. I can't wait to try it out.

I haven't seen an email but I've seen the post about it here.

I received the email from Gary a couple of days ago. I'm guessing everyone on the email list should have as well.

I am hoping to attend. Work has slowed down substantially and we are down to first shift only. Quite an adjustment after 35+ years on night shift. On the bright side, at least I won't be up all night attending with no sleep!!

I am planning to bring a small display. More than likely my 2 5/8" Performance Center revolvers. These are known as the UDR's or PCDR's or Bloodwork revolvers.

Looking forward to it!!

Best regards, Bob.

Excellent Bob, always enjoy what you display. Larry

Medina show this weekend.

Back to the Top

Unfortunately I’m not able to attend this Bunch Gathering.

I’ve spoken with Eric and he plans to attend.

I guess you all will have to wait until the fall meeting to see those model 27’s I’ve been accumulating 🤣🤣

Heck I might even have a couple more early 29’s by then👍

Pete

I'll also have 38sp de-primed, sized, SS pin tumbled, ready to reload at a good price of $.10 each in Federal, WCC Mil, & LC Mil. The Mil ones have primer crimp chamfered out.
For reference, Starline at FFF is $.21 each in bags of 100. Starline is $.16 each in lots of 1000.

Gonna miss ya Pete. Good luck. Wow, lot of brass. Any 327 in there, Larry

No, just what's listed.

Lot of brass, yes, but more importantly a large variety.

Upcoming weekend is Berea and Mansfield. Did the last Berea show, didn't like the 'new building arrangement'. Been a couple years since I did Mansfield, so I'll do it, and stop at FFF Ashland on the way home.

Thanks Strawhat for the brass today. Gives me a good supply now and should have enough to last my lifetime. Liked your office at Heinens, Larry

2 weeks to go.

Monday is a holiday, gov offices, post office, banks closed.

Anyone at Berea today, wondering how crowded it was with the scattered snow bursts around.

I was close at Pearl & Bagley at a grandson’s basketball game but went home after (11am). Didn’t feel like walking around with nothing I’m looking for. Just wanted to get home and stay warm, have a 1911 I wanted to put back together. New trigger, Larry
