SOOOO,
For those of us who were unable to attend FLATWATER this year, what were the most memorable, most unusual, or rarest SxS's this year? Any photos?

Re: Most Memorable Guns This Year?
Oulette's custom Beretta by Cole was pretty cool, first one I've ever seen with a graceful semi-pistol grip. Brad's Pape was pretty. Slowhands Cashmore was a very nice surprise, and Wingshooters recently imported Ideal was nice too, even though there was no boat in the pond to paddle around in (inside joke). :-)
With all that said, my two favorite guns were not shotguns. I am in love with DES/TSD .257 Roberts custom that isn't even finished yet...and All of the SAA's that Bluerock brought, its a shame I didnt get to pop any caps with em'. I wanted to badly!!

Did anyone admire my gun, that Tiny borrowed ?

Neither of my two faves were shotguns either. Bluerock's original Pachmeyer Combat Special and Stack's custom 6.8 EBR.

I had a bad case of stock lust for a Model 70 stock that Dennis was showing. It was a beautiful bit of workmanship on a fabulous piece of wood. I would have loved to drop a M70 barreled action into it.

David, the stock is still for sale. Customer needs funds. Dustin, thanks. I am planning on having the gun done by January. Dallas Safari Club exhibition show and tell. Thank you all for the nice comments.
My turn....I really enjoyed...... the Parker hammer gun, Cashmore double, E.M. Reilly(first time I got to see it after restoration), Ideal, and most of all.......shooting. Flatwater is the first time in years I have shot more than two shells consecutively. I enjoyed myself so much I will see ya'll next year.

Re: Most Memorable Guns This Year?
Got to shoot another hammer gun, thanks Dustin! Bluerock's double auto has a short grip, I concur it's not as comfortable as the wider profile and a green receiver must be an acquired taste. Still, fun to shoot another DA. Bob E is working on a gun I REALLY hope to see next year.
It all passed too quickly, as every year.
