I'd think the rules wouldn't allow emloyees or relatives to play.

I see someone else did his best to keep MTM in business.

I'm beginning to think that we have a lot of members from the Klinton era and what his hidden motives were

Ok, now I KNOW it's bogus... the 283c.i. wasn't introduced until 1956. The '53 & '54 Corvettes only had an in-line 6.

Thats it! I can't take anymore!

The humiliation is too much to bear. The cartridges are all .22 CB caps

I don't have a clue on the first set but it appears that on the second set from left to right is: 30-06, .50bmg, 20mm, 30mm, and 40 AA.

Am I even close?

Post by **Old Savage** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 9:26 pm

Old and Big.

Jay Bird · Post by **Jay Bird** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 9:43 pm

50/110-- 40/100--45/110, Just a way out there guess.------ big blue one is kinda cool.

Post by **Ysabel Kid** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 11:30 pm

I recognize the .30-06, .50 BMG and the 30mm from the second picture. The 30mm is like the one I have in my office. This is what the main gun on the A10 "Warthog" shoots!

Aussie Chris · Post by **Aussie Chris** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 12:42 am

The big game ones I think are:

30.06 Sprg
.50 BMG round
20mm Vulcan cannon round?
30mm Cannon round?
40mm Anti aircraft Bofors round. (ive got a few of these

)

Man that blue one sure would be nice in a Trapper, but I'm pretty sure that it would take an 1886 action for the one on the right! Wonder if they make gummy point bullets for them?

You are right!

Aussie Chris was second. I need your address so I can ship the Corvette. Aussie Chris gets the second prize, the old '55 Chevy thats been out in the field behind my house. Its been there since '68, has lots of lead in it, and was run over by a 6 wheeled John Deere!

Sixgun Jr. You are close. You are right on the first one--its a W.R.A.C.O. 50-110. The second is an original 45-100 Sharps with a 550 gr. paper patched bullet and the last one is a 500 Blackpowder Express with a 485 paper patched bullet.

Yea, the pics a little fuzzy--Sharps cartridges were not headstamped-----Sixgun
Sixgun jr.--You are not eligible to win because you only guessed one cartridge. I do feel obliged though----expect a few empty .22 LR cases in the mail

Thats OK sir. I kinda cheated in a way because I have a collection quite similar. However, I would like to know where you have come up with all those goodies in the background? Definite drool alert for me reading all those boxes

Aussie Chris · Post by **Aussie Chris** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 9:42 pm

Alright sixgun, advise me of the shipping of the 55 Chev to Melbourne Australia

After all of the bullet holes I put in it, I can probably stuff it in an envelope
