Got a Colt!

Its kind of give and take with me and capitalism. :)

Yep ~ if I understand it correctly, (in the Southern IL Region) all these at FONRA events have brought in the $1600.00 range. Heard one fetched almost $3000.00 when two guys decided they couldn't live without it.

Our event is next week. I'll try to remember to report the auction amount then. I think we're the last 2011 event in IL.

Ours brought $2,300.00 at the auction. We had a total of 35 guns to raffle or auction.

Any idea how many people attended? We had about 10 fewer people this year than last, but with 4 homecoming games and another big event the next night it was nice to have 130 people at ours.

I'm going to the state meeting to garner guns for next year.

Do you remember if you had the Ruger 7mm-08 at your dinner?

 

[hittman]

No 7mm at ours. We had 261 attend from the 288 tickets sold.

228 attended the prior year.

Congrats on your new pistol!

I'm like Grumpy, I shoot everything I own!

The gold pony on the slide, I like. That big ole dab of gold in the middle of the slide, would have to go. JMHO 8)

Calm down. I observe it is an anniversary gun and an NRA gun of the year......It should be embellished. I rather like mine........... 8)

He sold it on Gunbroker.

If you shot it enough all that gold would flake off
