I went both Friday and Saturday,what a great show!!!! It seemed that the majority of the show was KRA collectors. Any time I can get the opportunity to see the originals up close is a real treat. On Saturday I brought my oldest son and two grandsons to see the show. Now both of the boys want a rifle!! It was good to talk to Gary, Wallace and Jon Laubach on Friday. Frank House was there with the House Brothers rifle project, my oldest grandson was very impressed with the rifle and said it was his favorite rifle in the whole show( he's got good tastes). Also on Saturday I got the opportunity to photograph and measure number 109 in RCA II, what a great working mans rifle, simple but elegant at the same time. I bought some castings from Reeves Goerhing and had the chance to talk with him for some time. He was concerned that he would not be able to keep the business going for too much longer because of his age. He also said that his son was not very interested in taking over the business. Reeves said that his daughter was interested in the business but she had some family issues to deal with at the same time.
All in all a great show. my thanks to those who organized it and all the exhibitors who put their collection's on display.
