	Rub it in would you!!! We got snow and the wind is blowing 40 mph. Enjoy the fish and the stories.

	How did you know that was meant for you? LOL I wish you were here too it would be that much funner. Met an engraver from South Carolina that bought my last action set a Hepburn. The Foundry said they are going to pour my stuff this week. So maybe have them the end of the month.

	James, I know you will have good time there but you were missed here. There was a Pratt and Whitney sine bar rifling machine running and making barrels a civil war era one from the Stevens factory, pretty awesome. I joined the German gun collectors they are doing a book on schuetzen rifles for the members. A great show.

But some jackasses complained about the noise, so the owner could only run it for 10 minutes once an hour. Too bad, as it was a very interesting display, and something most of us will rarely get a chance to see running! I was fascinated by it, and loved watching it run!

	That really would have been something to see. But, you know, there's always somebody that'll bellyache at at the very mention of some work. Even if he's not doing it.

Even if he's not doing it. It really wasn't very noisy, and I think someone just wasn't having a good show because the people were distracted by wanting to watch the rifling machine run, and not because it was noisy. I know I watched it with great enjoyment for as long as he could run it.

	I remember when Val left and someone talked him into coming back behind the scenes and he has turned out to be a very valued and knowledgable contribution ever since.

	I was really taken with that rifling machine and took some video of it with my phone. If I can download it, I'll try and provide a link. Nice to visit with Rodney and Tony and also with Al Story and Ralph Ballentine. I always have a great time at the show! The white sea bass at White River was delicious! Regards, Joe

	Joe I could watch it all day long I Love this kind of stuff. By chance did he happen to mention how the barrel blank was deep drilled and then reamed prior to the actual cutting? JLouis

	Mr.Olson said he works full time for Lewis Machine and Tool and that Karl Lewis kindly supplies him with .308 barrels. He also mentioned that he displayed the machine for the very first time at the Denver Co. show as Val had mentioned. When inside, he uses an old antique electric motor to power it and when outside it's powered by a hit and miss engine. Regards, Joe
