Rigby’s 250th Anniversary Celebration

Just got back to my room following the @RIGBY 250th Anniversary celebration - it was quite an event!

- A Rigby workshop workshop with stations set up throughout the HMS victory;
- A tour of the HMS victory;
- Dinner in the gun room of the HMS Warrior;
- Live music;
- A fly over by two World War III Spit Fire planes;
- Fireworks;
- And, of course, meeting a lot of great people!

Here are a few pictures:

It was an honor to attend and I am very grateful for the invitation!
It was great to meet you.
 
What an event, thank you very much for sharing your pictures and experiences @franzfmdavis .
I believe my invitation got lost in the mail ;)
 
…I’ll just sit in the corner and play with my sporterized milsurps (all built on Mauser actions, of course!) and let the adults talk!
Congrats to a great trip, fondling beautiful rifles and meeting wonderful people.
Superb write up & pics!

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
