Mailed my application this morning.

Glad to help

 

[OzarkRecluse]

It was very appreciated.

What kind of numbers must one own to be considered? Any restrictions on how old the firearms are to be counted?

 

[max]

You don't need any firearms to join in my opinion, just an interest in them. Members have some of the first S&W's made as well as the most current.

Bat G,

The 2012 SWCA meeting in Boise is July 20-24.

I'll add my encouragement to anyone considering joining. As has been said, you need no particular number of guns, no particular value of guns, no particular age of guns to join; only an interest in things made by Smith & Wesson. In fact, the interest doesn't have to be their guns...we have members who collect the various paper products, the other items they made, bicycles, blade savers, toilet flush valves (Yes!), handcuffs, etc.

I only owned one Smith and my knowledge of the brand was minimal when I joined, but I did it in time for the Dallas Show in 2004 and have only missed one annual show since then. I've added a few more guns and lots of knowledge since then, but I have added far more new friends and great memories from the shows that I have attended. Just as this Forum of Lee's is the internet forum that stands as a model for all the rest, the SWCA is the collectors society that all others wish they could emulate.

If any of you in the North Texas area have questions regarding the Association and what it might offer, send me a PM and I will be happy to contact you and learn of your interests. Perhaps we can meet in person at a Dallas Gun Show.

Bob

Charlie beat me to the date for Boise!

Good job Lee! Glad the check was mailed before -rags- found about the new guy having to buy all the drinks at his first meeting. Darned if I don't feel a bit thirsty. Another good thing you may have a sucke..., I mean valued customer sell some of those old CTG guns to you will have laying around in Boise.

BTT I hope they still let me in!!

They may want to see proof that you sold those Glocks.

I'm more of an "accumulator" than a "collector" because I shoot everything I get, including the .32 S&W Model 1½ that I bought sight unseen and the guy mailed to me in a bubble wrap lined envelope!

Think there's room for me?

I know there is!! I'm the same way. There is no set recipe for being a "collector" or an "accumulator". Do it however you want as long as it makes you happy, and you're enjoying yourself & your S&W's
