Nice

Really like that BP Colt 1851 Navy. Is that 36 cal? Great photos.

I think that may be my Dad's. I'll have to ask him.
I know he brought the black powder rifle.
I didn't know he brought the pistol.
I'll ask.

I think we should plan another shoot. Maybe for mid September, when hopefully it will be a little cooler.

If you'd be in for that and have a date in mind, or one that wouldn't work, post on here. If it seems there's enough interest, I'll start a new thread

12th or 26th work for me.

 

[1775usmarine]

I would be down for another. Would have to load up the night before and bring with me to work if on a Saturday.

I'm in as long as it has cooled off some. Weekends are good.

It is Dad's. I believe it is 44 caliber though. I do know it is the Navy pistol. It was from the Boy Scouts from back when I was in for all his work.

 

[repeter1977]

Great job on the photos.

I would also be up for another meet and shoot, I have missed them, especially all of you guys and gals. Weekends totally work for me.

 

[JamesV]

Great pics and I would be up for a meet and shoot also.

 

[d.kaufman]

Sounds like plenty of interest. I'll yet a new thread up and running by the weekend. Will give us plenty of time to hopefully get a good turnout

I didn't know that the Boy Scouts issued pistols.

I thought it was his from his Coast Guard days at the battle of New Orleans, long after his days with (then lieutenant) Farragut.

Please forward to your dad.

The M'Ville troop bought it for him outta donations from the parents for all the work he did.
At least, I think it was the troop.

I should be physically able to make it by September. Dunno if I'll be back at work by then, or able to afford it if not. We will see.

As Actaeon stated, the families donated and bought one for him because of all his work and contributions. As my dad was Coast Guard, they wanted to get him the Navy pistol.

Well I know that in the reproductions of the 1851 Navy they made a .44 cal which in reality there never was a .44 cal 1851 Navy. They were all .36 cal. But none the less that was a really nice thing they did for your father and a very sharp looking pistol he has there.

Oh ! Did I forget the purple again?

 

[BuickGS]

Any word on the youth shoot for 2021 ?

 

[1775usmarine]

I would assume it'll be canceled but Jedi has the connection to DNR
