    Hi Tom.

    Some nice photos, I like the camo guns near the bottom of the page

    From photo 17 down where you put you didn't get the mans name from Florida. Well I have a friend called Steven from Florida & he has quite alot of the same airguns, especilly the 2 rare Thompson bb fairground guns, Air17 & Crosman M1.

    It is probably the same guy. I've not spoke to him in a good while.

    Regards
    Paddy.

    I've just got an email back from Steve. It was his table. He drove 1200 miles to get there with 135 airguns

    He said it was a good show with about 40 separate tables, where as the Roanoke show has almost 120 tables.

    It is a small world isn't it.

    Regards
    Paddy.

    You're welcome.

    Jim the camo rifles are custom built BIG Bore rifles between 38 and 50 caliber
    and could take down large game the size of buffalo. These guys are serious airgun hunters and have traveled to Africa on safari.

    I've heard of people who hunt big game with big bore air rifles, Tom. I once saw a video of a wild pig going down very quickly after being shot with one.

    Paddy's a known gun-camo fan from the Air Pistols section, which is why I mentioned it.
