I wish we had more access to the Rifled Arms Association. A few years ago, they sounded like they were going to be an open receptacle (both ways)for custom gunmaker research. The single shot rife association seems to be doing it the right way, but, as you say, it takes a caretaker with a good computer knowledge to insure that the material is available.
I know exactly what you saying, I have been both delighted and disappointed with the RAA. The man in charge of the records does not have a computer. It’s getting harder and harder to find what I’m looking for around here so I’m trying to cut down on the clutter a little bit. Last year I tried to put my books in order and found I had over 150 duplicates, I advertised them in lots on Ebay and what did not sell I gave to the local library. This morning I moved a box and found three extra copies of Sharpe’s Handloading, seldom look at the one, sure as heck don’t need four. Time for another big book sale ;-).
