I got on the "New" board in 2001..#46,was on the old one for a couple of years (?)..not sure of old #
Id just bought my first sxs, a Francotte from La Becasse that looked awesome but had some internal problems that it seemed Jack didn't know about,found the old board & due to some advice I sent it to a well known "smith in CT...he got me out of the gun after talking to Jack, as it was really a disaster internally.So you older guys saved me a nice bit of cash with your help...thanks.I remember Russ, owleye,Wilhelm,Old Fire starter (?)
& would remember a bunch more if I saw the names, but getting
memory fuzz.
Itruly enjoy this site, & have checked in at least once a day for at least the last 16 years...wow , how time flys, or is it flies,lol!

cheers
