Had a great time and without a doubt one of our best meets. I wanted to stick around and visit longer after lunch but was just worn down to a nub from the 1st part of the week end. Today was not any better though - LOL!!!
i will have to take my 30-06 with me net time and see if the 100yd range gaurd talks B.S. !
Please tell me you did not just shoot up a vintage Chambers range! These things are collectors items! The Cadillac of vintage stoves.
well there was several of them in this old warehouse we had to get rid of somehow , they make great backstops ! full of iron !
just got to make sure all the helium is out of them before you shoot them or try and cut them up with a chain saw !
Yikes, it pains me to hear it. They're worth their weight in gold. I bought one at an estate sale in Wichita a few years back, spent a few bucks and many hours restoring and sold it for thousands. The red ones are especially valued by collectors. They don't make ovens like this anymore. They had a broiler / griddle on the top that you could make bacon on by the pound, or broil up steaks underneath. And a deep insulated thermowell on top that was like a crock pot. You could cook stews in there or oatmeal. You could make a batch of oatmeal up at night before bed, put it in the thermowell and in the morning, cooking only on the heat from the pilot light, you'd have the best oatmeal you ever tasted.
I thought the helium & chainsaw lines sounded familiar... No Chambers ranges in this tiny apartment. 'Bout gave me a heart attack to see the red Chambers with a bullet hole in it!Hey Mark, that was in jest , you know who my wife is from the chambers board.... Fatfutures . she said to say hi !
as for them relics we have a few of them and none were harmed in the photo session ! lol
