Battle:
Sometimes things get a bit slow at the Lefever forum. If it's to be Ithaca Gun, why not just let it be Ithaca Gun. Start the dedicated site but get the best of the smorgasbord approach (as here) by not segregating the interests (37 discussion mixed in with the doublegun posts; let the SBT guys and guys who have the later SKBs jump right in). Let the thing branch without a lot of pigeonholing. I'd love to know more about Emil Flues' gunmaking activites when he wasn't employed at Water Power Lot #6. Robt. Chambers left a "teaser" here with photos of Flues' premises; I wish he could be encouraged to say more. Anyway, make the forum inclusive and it will look like the lights are on and somebody home all the time. JMO.
