We flew Pops out from Bama for a week stay with some of the Gun Sale money while he still has a brain and till we can afford to move down South to help them out better too .
We plan a Range trip this week with him while he can safely still hoist and carry a gun :D ...
Any particular Cap and Ball revolver you guys might want to see in action ?
Yall mostly know my collection by now and what I gots , so what do we want to see in some Pictures this time ? The Walker ? The Dragoon , Rogers and Spencer ? 51 Navy's , 61 Navys , 60 Colts , 58 Remingtons ????
Dont say all the above , I aint cleanin guns for a week :D

I do have a LeMat , but I just cleaned and pollished it recently :banghead:
At a later date , I will make sure it goes to the range for some piccys :D Its kinda a drag to clean ....But the Rogers is on the Table for ya ! Hee hee hee .

Yup Noble

Sounds about good for me too :D ...........
Will probably drag the real Colt 3rd Model out too that Pops used to carry for real carry use , should make for a good memory for us both since we have both used that gun for over 15 years now :D ..Makes great smoke too , and fire , and flames , and moltin hot lead rippin down the range . Realy clears out the Range too , kinda scares people , I kinda like that aspect of the Dragoon :D

I am kinda partial to the Remmies,but save 'em until next trip...I'd dislike haveing to clean more than two or three guns at a time,and flatly refuse to wait until the next day to do it,plus you'll be wanting to spend time with yer Pops,not cleaning the whole collection....
 
Doesnt matter what ya shoot Das...quality time is whats important here...Take the Navy...and ask pops if he'd like to help ya take it home and clean it...even more quality time!!...I bet he allready has a big ole smile on his face just thinkin about gettin out there and havin a blast with his son!!...best regards to him!!

Lookee Missuramoss , your alias just got a new nickname , " The MoMan " :D ..
Of course your right about the quality time thing , but that's kinda a forgone conclusion here that we'll be having that already reguardless of what were doing , Gun Range , eating lunch , fishing , watching Talledaga NASCAR Racing together today too , NHRA tonight , then PBR bull riding , yeehhaaaaa :D .
It aint like he is gonna remember any of this eventually you know ?
Hell , he don't give a rip what we shoot as long as we shoot :D . He is kinda child like Missuramoss now ? Odd to see such a brilliant jet avionic guy lose his marbles like this . But he seams very content and happy and is fully aware of his Alzheimers . Very weird ?
This BP forum never gets enough actual Range in prgress smoke and fire pictures , so figure I will try my hardest to get some with a few guns at least this week , and try to take out some of my ODD guns , or special ones to do it with so folks that only have one gun or have never fired a BP revolver can get some sort of appreciation of what is available , so they can get hooked on them and maybe even the HOLY BLACK :D .
I am kinda one of them funny folks that enjoys cleaning them for the most part , within reason , so taking a few revolvers is not out of the question:D .
Were shooting the 1911's too to mix it up a bit , plus I like to stay current accurate for my carry caliber guns :D . I was halfway considering loading some .45 ACP with BP just for shock factor for his first round , but with the circumstances at hand now I doubt scramblin his mind is a good idea :D . Ten years ago I wouldn't hesitate messin with him :D ......I think squeazin off a BP .45 ACP round out my LongSlide Springfield Loaded would be hillarious nonetheless :eek: ..Can you imagine what all the Glock ( Combat Tupperware ) shooters there at the range would think of that going off ? Hee hee hee :D ........
Well , hopefully it's raining and damp so the BP smoke lingers in the air , makes for great-er photos :D , especially of the Dragoons fire bletch :D .
He brought me my hand carved Sam Yang .45 caliber air rifle custom stock back with him from Alabama I sent him to do his work on , he's had it for 9 months ! Will have to get some photos of that soon for ya to look at . Hard to see a Master Gunsmith go the way of Alzhiemers , but at least I have some of his work to remember him by now . Ever seen anyone do Bascketweave and Old School scroll into a gunstock MoMan with an air engraver ? Pure freekin genious talent there . A true Master .

Well , time to get busy , lots to do , gotta make the most of my days right now while he's here . Me and the Gal went over to the Butchers last night on the way to go buy some more .45 ACP at our favorite gunshop , and bought some 1-1/2" New York cut ELK steaks to grill up over Apple Wood tonight after the Talledaga Race with him , wrapped in real corn fed bacon , with sauteed Portabella Shrooms in Galric and Cabernet Savignon with real butter and olive oil , and fresh Asperagus , yawzaaaaaaa , do we eat good or what ! Ok , wipe drool off your mouth , and I will do same :D ..Cheers

Don't worry about that , we'll get lots of pics :D .....My Gal refuses to stand next to me while shooting my BP guns , scares her for no good reason but she still won't do it :D ..Nor will she shoot one :D ...But she has no problem poppin off Wart Hawg loads in her Kimbers ? So she is the Camera woman !
