	I bought a killer Ballard Pacific in 38-55 and an orphan lowwall. The lowwall is a barrel and action with no lower tang or wood and was priced accordingly. 20 minutes later I saw the Pacific and didn’t need any time to make up my mind as it’s really nice and came at a surpringly low price. I tried and failed to post pictures. Another member has offered to put them up for me. Gotta love that offer!

	Overall prices seemed very high. I bought 2 parts rolling blocks with problems for okay prices, and a forged ballard project that surprisingly had near excellent 40 cal bore. Outside was well rusted. My sales were low volume but we did okay. Fun experience, that's worth something

	I had thought about giving someone a "commission" as it were to find me one and if it was in my price range to purchase it for me. I am still looking for a field grade regular old model nothing fancy. Maybe someone here will take pity on me and sell me one. I found two on gun broker that till the last few moments were in my price range then BOOM went crazy. I will continue my quest till I get one. Glad y'all had fun. JMH

	I have guys often ask me to look for a particular single shot rifle. But the issue is when I'm at a big gun show I've got money to buy myself a gun and not money to buy one for someone else. So without their money in my pocket also, how does one buy them that special rifle they wanted? And if I bought one with their money and I loved it, maybe they were hoping for something different in that model than what gets me excited? Best I've been able to do was give the seller a friend's name and phone number, and tell the seller to call that person and they'd probably buy it. That worked great last time, but only because I knew the seller, and knew my friend wanted the rifle badly and would come through and buy it. Both parties were very happy. Otherwise this rarely works out well.

	I understand it would be easy to be left hanging. Maybe your way is the way to go. If I give someone my word to buy then I buy regardless. There is one out there with my name on it. Just got to find it... JMH

There is one out there with my name on it. Just got to find it... I have had that happen once. I had the money and bought what a friend wanted. Even called him from the show and described it, but when I got home he looked it over and said it wasn't quite what he wanted. I did end up selling it and got my money back, but tied up funds for awhile until I did. Never did that again. JMH

	For anyone who hasn’t been to the Tulsa show, here is an old picture but it shows the lower 1/3 of the show. It’s really amazing to see how large it really is. Bruce

	Vall, I had been thinking of sending you some cash to put toward a Winchester single shot at the one day OSC shows but now that your alter ego Highwallman is shadowing you, I figure you would just keep any nice ones you find.

If this Bremer-Pope .22 keeps giving me fits I might box it up and send it to you! My lack of High Wall knowledge has turned into a hate of High Walls. Well at least coil spring High Walls! But I am getting closer to winning this battle!

We're planning a trip to Oklahoma next year, and I'm trying to convince my wife it needs to be around time frames of the shows! She wants summer, and I don't think they do a summer Tulsa show?
