Here’s a couple Bert wishes he had, the 25-35 and a low wall 22 LONG with half round half octagon and marked “From W F Sheard Livingston Montana”

Yes indeed... especially the Take Down high-wall.

What is the serial number on the low-wall rifle?

I had been made aware of Friday and plan on being there at that time.

Shrapnel, I do remember when you got your highwall in .25-35. Seems to me you submitted photos of some gophers you shot with it soon after getting it? But I meant to baby sit Bert's single shot in .38-40 to go with the ones you pictured. You do have some wonderful eye candy, as Mike would say! Tim

This past winter I developed and loaded some special "Gopher" loads for my 38 WCF Single Shot rifle... a 180-gr Hornady XTP bullet sitting on top of 22-grains of A2400 powder.

Nice collection of guns. I have a few that aren't Winchester too.

I'd love to have that bottom Burgess. These have become quite pricey. Got a picture of it folded up?

I will be there Friday and Saturday. Setup is on Friday, entree for same tables is 10am, new tables 1pm. Set up day is the show, buying a pass or table to get in Friday is the way to go. When you walk look at each table, when you see something write down the row so you can find it later. What's on top of tables is changing as the day goes on so walking, walking, and more walking.

I will definitely take two days. Then I am leaving Tulsa and heading to Cody for a few days, then going to Cheyenne for a day.

You'll learn a lot your first time! Pack some water and snacks in a small backpack and wear good shoes. Might need both days.

Hello all. New guy here only been a member since last year, have a couple Winchesters but nothing in the super good condition museum quality guns you guys seem to have (I like to shoot the old guns and have several that "condition collectors" would hate that I love. Example is my favorite 30-30 wss a ranch rifle that was on a cattle ranch in Montana for 80 years AND looks it! Anywho..anybody going to the Tulsa show next weekend? I have heard about this show for decades and will go for the first time. Tom

Any gophers in my yard today would need scuba gear. Shrapnel--I really like the model 1873 deluxe rifle! Nice grouping all together, even if it doesn't have one of Bert's babies. Offer to baby sit for him?? Tim

Nope, I have a real nice and rare original high wall in 25-35 with double set triggers, shotgun butt, heavy barrel , sling studs and it’s a takedown on top of all that…
