I've got a Colt .45 that was made in 1918. It hasn't been shot in decades and I want to wait til Memorial Day 2018 to shoot it again for its 100th birthday
Why wait? Robert E. Lee's birthday is January 19 and many people will have a holiday very near that date. Weather permitting, I will be at DPRC on the 16th with my Garand.
I have a shootable Pomeroy musket used in that unpleasantness in the 1860's and a Colt 1851 Navy my great granddad used to shoot at Yankees that I should take out on that day.
