CLA Show pictures
« on: August 20, 2017, 01:43:35 AM »
This is by no means a comprehensive photo report.  Heck, I was so busy gawking at all the cool stuff and spending $$, I didn't take one picture the first day.

A tribute to Earl Lanning.














The theme of this year's Presidents Display was pistols.  That's a lot of pistols!  103 if I counted correctly.


































A view from the doorway to the Antique room, looking straight ahead.  The KRA displays are on the left.




And from the door way looking to the right.




Got Locks?




I surely did have a good time this weekend, and truly enjoyed seeing old friends and making new friends.  Most of you are traveling home now or will be in the morning.  I wish you fair skys and save travels, until we meet again.

-Ron

I went last year for the first time.

I was disappointed I couldn't make it this year.

Thanks for the pics.

I'll try to make it next year.

Oh wow.  Super job with the photos.  I posted a few of mine on the Gun Building section.  I have a few to put under Accoutrements as well.  Best wishes, and God Bless,   Marc

Thanks for posting those KY, I really missed not being there this year! 

Wow!  Are all those locks antiques or contemporary?

Antiques.  They also had a pile of hammers/cocks, and several big bags of springs.

Thanks for all picures. Not often you get to see so many cased pistols. Working on two pistol cases and it's helpful to see how others have solved the partitions.

Best regards
Rolf
