Fun Show time!

Today we are stalking the wild K-22 Combat Masterpiece in its natural habitat, the gun show.

I've got no cash, but I may be able to trade into it.

Wish me luck.

Good luck. My 5 screw pre-war K22 is one of my nicer shooters. Accurate, reliable and cheap to feed. Great gun.

JTR, thought I recognized that address. Any of you, anywhere in the Midwest, still holding a losing 50/50 ticket from the game dinner: read the fine print (right under "Save This Part") and it will say Toledo Ticket Co, 1016 N Summit St.

As far as I can prove, in 50 years they did not print one single winner.

Auction was mostly 'retail' prices onthings I wanted, didn't meet reserve onthings I really wanted, and cheeep onstuff for which I had no use.

Earlier 'Wavytop' .35 Marlin w/ Ballard rifling was my main jones, which was pulled when 400.00 minimum wasn't met.

A flat-top Single Six in 'nice' w/o box went for 350.00. best buy was Begioum Browning Auto-fives. Some real STEALS, there, 250-350 range for good ones.

AK's, SKS's, MAC 10, Uzi carbine, etc went for Max and most pistols were at retail or over.

And, the 1016 address was once a prosperous company that supplied concession merch for the bustling theaters, in a once bustling downtown Toledo: presently AKA ghost town.

Now, a home to an auction company, a temp labor agency, empty spaces, and a pawnshop, of sorts.

pratio -- rich with possibilities, indeed.

John, I know a fascinating filty story about the shoe works that used to be in that block. If the neighborhood ever comes up in comments again, remind me.

Things were bustling at the old Valentine this weekend. It's nothing more than a collection of government arts grants now, but $29 didn't seem too much for a pole dance if the grind music was by R.Strauss, and there were Southern Baptists in the audience.

The singing was good, but either I'm getting sybaritic or the 7 Veils ain't what it used to be. I blame the Baptists this time.
