I have to be in Houston part of this week...so any shops that might have any of the following?
Blackpowder firearms - particularly flintlocks (modern flintlocks, not antique), but also Civil War era percussion revolvers and rifles, eg Uberti replicas. Springfield Armory - M1A (any versions, but Standard or Loaded is within my pain range) and a 1911 Milspec Parkerized. |

Quoted:
Collector's Firearms on Fondren and Richmond. Went by there today...same as I remembered it 10 years ago. Lots of neat stuff to look at, most of it priced out of my range. They had exactly one replica flintlock (used) which I bought since its one I've been looking for and the asking price was somewhat reasonable...and then they offered a discount unprompted. I started to dicker on a percussion revolver or two, but figured I ought to shoot all the ones I already have before adding to the stable. The M1A's were high-end and uninteresting. Their price on the 1911 model I'm looking at was $100 more than what I can get it off the shelf for in Waco. Now I have to figure out something to do tomorrow. |
