Looks like well-deserved honors...! 8)

Nice to see serious collectors who know their stuff; I'm just a consumer/shooter, but really like to learn from you guys.

I'll say! Nice looking rare rifles there Mr. Shrapnel. I was at that show 15 years ago while playing in Yellowstone and I was amazed at the neat things there. We have pretty much the same show once a year in Timonium, Md....in March. That's the show where guys walk around with suitcases full of cash handcuffed to their wrists.-----6
