Misfit's Plans for 2020?...

custom guns out to their owners who have all been very patient (except for a few). I am thankful for the large amount of orders that we have and hopefully the back log of parts, chemicals and such will catch up somewhat. At my age each day is a blessing and good Lord willing I can spend some time with good friends in Africa in May. Other than that, just keep on truckin'.

I would like to make one more trip to Africa. I am not yet sure if I will go or not, but I will have to make up my mind in couple months. It takes a while to get all the paperwork needed.

I have a chance go to the Bahama's and help a Disaster Relief Team with the recovery from the last hurricane on Grand Bahama Island.

I want to visit old friends and spend some time with them. Any more people are more important to me than stuff is.

So most of my hopes and dreams are wrapped up with people I know, or people I want to meet.

and I'm blessed for it. On a personal note, aspire to reduce the number of attorneys on my payroll to zero this next year. Very soon, I hope.

I actually do not "like" AR's and will shortly get back to normal tinkering. I have not added a .400 GNR to my stable. It would make a fun to load Contender/G2 Hog hammer, without the crazy recoil of the .45/70. But I really want a Lever Action, and while I like the Winchester, it looks like a much greater chance it will be a Marlin 336 when I get it done.

I have some cast bullet work in 6mm to explore too. More bullet painting to try.

The only think I can think of in the way of a more portable handgun is a Single-six conversion in a smaller caliber or maybe a semi-auto with a reflex sight on it. I am having to rely more and more on optical assistance.

Well, biggest event is my son getting married in September.

Trying to survive Va anti 2A assault.

Hopefully a hunt or two.

ROUNDS IN PREPARATION FOR SPRING--MOST ARE FOR LEVERGUN LOADS IN .32 MAG, .327, .32-20, .38-40, .44-40, .44 SPECIAL, .44 MAGNUM, .45 COLT PLUS SOME .32 LONG

One of my guys Josh Brooks and I have to go down to Phoenix to the U.S. Customs to register our guns for Africa. That can't be done before Jan. 2nd. Then get some copies of the customs form and finish all my paperwork for Africa. Then my guys all have to do the customs stuff also on Jan. 2nd or at the latest Jan 3rd. Then they have to finish their paperwork and overnight it to Colleen as she is flying down to Dallas on Jan. 9th to give all the paperwork to the lady from Air2000 at the Safari Club show where she has a booth. She gets our gun permits for us so rather than take a chance on mailing the paperwork to South Africa it is better to have Colleen take all our paperwork and give it to her at the show in Dallas. The normal overnight mail to Africa takes a minimum of 10 days and usually more than that. Then it is 45 days or more to get our firearm permits done. So from Jan. 2nd to May 14th it is going to be a bit hectic. but going to Africa is always worth all the headaches involved.

I have a 10mm and a 38super, both 1911s, in mind.

Heading to Haiti on a mission trip with my daughter on January 10th. Upgraded equipment and bought a new (to me) semi truck. Trying to keep up with the kiddos. Three teenagers now, hard to believe my oldest will be a senior this fall. Hunting/shooting wise, I think I'm good for now. Probably try to get in a little more wing shooting, definitely more practice with my .356 GNR, do a little ice fishing if Mother Nature decides to quit being schizophrenic.
