Hey everyone, a few quickie bad photos from Hickory:
The general lay of the land. On one end the hall opens to a ginormous field where you can see your prospective new toys in daylight - and shoot them to your heart's content.
Many rarities on display, how about Whiscombe JW 75 no. ONE for your viewing pleasure:
Spreads of vintage match rifles for sale, from Hull Airguns and Mike LiCause:
Don Raitzer's always amazing selection of vintage goodies:
Tired of guns? Rob in NC's beautiful wood turnings have got ya covered:
My dorky little display of rare .22 cal vintage "Peerless" labeled match Dianas:
Bob in WV's densely packed table of goodies never diappoints:
Carl Wise's display of three classic HW 35 variants of the past:
Paul Hudson's lovely display of pre-war German rifles. WOW. That's our gracious host Tony MacDaniel on the right:
Last but not least...these homely bins were chock full of vintage HW, Diana, FWB, BSF, Gehmann, and more parts and accessories from the Beeman warehouse in his heyday. This is where most of my $$ went...
Great info and fine presentation. Many thanks for sharing.
@mdriskill Thanks for sharing Mike, I had hoped to make it this year , maybe next year. Please tell everyone I said hi.

Tom, good to hear from you! Hope you are doing well, and it would be great to see you at Hickory next time around!
Question - check out the weird LG 55 in this pic! It has a thumbhole stock, which looked factory-ish to me, and has some odd cutouts that suggest some sort of gallery use? Can you shed any light on it?
