I got home late last night... 3 flights & my mind is sore. The weather was crazy. Rain & wind... no Tornado's touched down locally, but I saw several cars in the ditch on Hwy 40 including a Firetruck... didn't make any sense to me but heard it was wind caused. The show was great... I met Dan from the forum and bought some 1922 magazines from him... He remembered me from when I attended the Kansas City show a few years back. Tulsa had lots of great guns to fondle. I even purchased a few along with some great parts & pieces. Notably, was a 1917 Sporter that has some interesting characteristics... Springfield Sporter buttplate, Tildan scope mounts, Pacific receiver sight, unique bolt knob design & spring lever-detachable swivels. The maker is unknown to me... I didn't want to gamble $1600. on it...but it still haunts me... pics are below. It wasn't to far from DanH's table... I may regret my being overly cautious.
BTW: I just booked my flight for the July Kansas City show & meeting some friends... I will need to gain entry and am gladly willing to pay... smile
