The Hessney Auction Co. is holding another auction on Saturday April 28. I missed the last one because I was in AR but had the high bid on a gun in that auction by way of online bidding. I plan to e there next week for he auction and to pick up the pistol. Just wondering if anyone else is going If you are going and see me, please say hello. This is my latest mugshot:



Oh no wait, that's not it, this is the newest one:

Anyway, picked up some guns this pat weekend at the Hessney auction. First off, on Friday while at the auction preview, I picked p the High Standard DM-101 Derringer that I had bid for online in the March auction. I usually do not bid online for these auctions but took a chance that this one would actually be "as new in box" as the description stated. I is a beauty, in pristine condition with original box (not in great condition but good) and original paperwork. Made me quite the happy shootist.



Then on the day of the auction I had the high bid on a CZ Durango SxS 12 gauge (made by Huglu in Turkey). Looks nice and I hope, if I decide to shoot it, that is holds up well. Supposedly is case hardened but my understanding is that may just be color that was chemically induced instead of actual case hardening. Anyway, I like it.



I also picked up a Winchester Model 37, single 12 gauge. It has "Choke" instead of "Full" on the barrel as well as having the small turned down hammer spur and solid barrel release lever, so it is a 2nd variation. A pretty old gun with a plum patina to match but no pitting that I could find. It may stay with me at least through Turkey season (which starts tomorrow - gobble gobble).



I got some ammo, a couple of knives and a nice fishing reel too.

Met a guy there named Ron who told me he knew me. Turns out he reads my blog. Forgot to ask him if he is a member here.

All the best,
Glenn B

Really? The picture I posted on the very same post.

 

[Glenn B]

Yes really. I get that it is the guy in the photo but I have no clue who he is.

So, I just looked up Walter White on the Internet and presume you mean the character in the show Breaking Bad. I am familiar with that show in as much as I know it was on HBO or Showtime and that it was about a school teacher who became a meth lab expert and a dealer. I watched maybe as much of 10 minutes each of two or three episodes - decided it sucked because it was absolutely glorifying not only criminals but teachers as way too many of them are in our current societal mess. It was not for me and believe me my look does not purposefully emulate scum like him (nonfictional or fictional). I would bet though - that character is the hero of many on the left. Just my . Anyway, getting way .
