I hope to be at the Wellington Show, also. Just look for the guy who has a head that looks like it has worn out two bodies. That will be me.

I’ve been poking around on here for a couple years now and finally joined. I live in Ontario, Canada. I have made plans to be at the OGCA show in Wellington, Ohio the end of the month. It will be nice to meet some WACA members that are there and put some faces to the names on here. And I always enjoy looking at model 70’s. Regards, Mark

Hey, Bill. I didn't know you lived in Charlotte . Lucky you to live in the prettiest part of America. I had to go to Huntersville on a case once and it was just gorgeous.

Hello Garand Guy,

I’m in Charlotte and I have a store in Mint Hill (Bull Moose) that is 20 minutes from Concord. Happy to look at your collection and let you know what you got. If you want to post pictures here you also have a lot of really knowledgeable and very smart guys here who would be happy to weigh in and help as well. I’ll PM you my contact info. Look forward to helping you figure it out my friend!

I recently inherited a collection of firearms from my Dad, most of which are Winchesters. I’d like to connect with someone in the Charlotte/ Concord NC area to show them my collection and learn more about them. My Winchesters include an M1 Garand, several model 94’s, one of which is a .307 caliber, and several other rifles as well.

-Thanks!

Very neat box! The two cases with the "W" in a circle indicate they were loaded with smokeless powder. The unmarked primers are black powder cartridges.

I have a near identical full box of 50-95 WCF Shot cartridges.

edit: Forgot to mention, the loaded shells are worth approximately $75 per cartridge.

Scotty,

I saw something that they recently had, and I was heading out the door to take care of several things on my list, and had my wife run a check on them and for sure, "GUN PARTS LOADERS", are "FAKE"!!!

Scammers from the word go!

I think these would fit in my Standard Arms Camp .50. I could go bird hunting this fall!

Roger,

That's a very nice box, and to have the wooden filler pieces is pretty much unheard of!

Thanks for sharing!

Steve,

I think you should send RDB, a PM, and make some sort of agreement, and then report back here with pictures of the Birds you took with the Ole' Camp 50!

I saw the posting of the empty box of shells for sale and wondered what loaded shot shells might be worth? I have a box with 18 loaded shells and two empty cases. The two empty cases appear to never have been fired, but possibly taken apart or added as just primed cases. The primers in the two empty cases have a stamped marking on them, the other 18 primers are blank. The box also has the original wooden spacers included. Thanks for looking. RDB
