It sure would be nice to know what's behind that statement. To listen to the same guy a few years ago, you'd have thought CSMC walked on water, that he had Lou on speed dial, and was his BFF...

...I was also impressed with Gene's Gun Shop, the gun and gunsmithing business that I frequently visited in my teens. As I've said here before, Gene showed me his vary large collection of ornate museum quality European doubles, Drillings, Vierlings, etc., that he had somehow stolen from the Nazi's when he was an Armorer in the German Army in WW II. It is even more amazing that he was able to smuggle that very large stash of guns into the U.S. when he emmigrated here after the war. It was the best place in my area to see the difference in engraving styles and game scenes between pre-war European guns, and the more pedestrian flying turnip stuff on American guns commonly seen here. Gene also took the time to teach me useful things like spring making and tempering when there weren't many customers, and his wife could handle the store. With only his strong grip, he managed to do very nice checkering without a cradle, and was happy to talk guns when he stopped to light his pipe. Naturally, he had a bias toward the German and Prussian guns he favored, and spent time showing me their superior fit and finish, bolting, etc. Most memorable of all is that Gene was a crazy bastard who did many things differently than ay other gun shop I've ever visited. He kept a loaded full auto Mauser pistol near the cash register to deal with anyone who might try to rob him. Many visits left me shaking my head, such as the time I was browsing the used guns while another customer was showing Gene his malfunctioning deer rifle. It was as quiet as a Library, and I could hear most of their discussion about a misfiring problem. Without any warning, there was a loud blast as Gene test fired the .30-06 through a hole in the floor behind the counter, into a drum of sand in the basement. You just don't experience things like that in most Gun Shops.
You sure never miss an opportunity to be a turd, do you vilhelm? Although I no longer hold the New Britain's in such high regard,
I am happy to hear you still have a close personal relationship with your Nazi war criminal buddy Gene,
you know, the seller of stolen war plundered goods to goose steppers such as yourself.

Gene died several years ago Bob. The last time I spoke with him was early 1991 when I went to his house to see if he had a bolt stop for a Siamese Mauser action. Prior to that was in the mid-1980's before he sold his business and retired. Hardly a close personal relationship. I've said this before, but Gene had been a German soldier who emmigrated here after the war, like many other Germans who were not Nazi war criminals. In all the time I knew him, I never saw or heard of him selling even one of those highly ornate guns he stashed, and later smuggled to the U.S. They were never on the racks in his store, but were part of his large personal collection. I heard they were sold off to some wealthy collector after he died, but I never bought any from him. They had been confiscated by the Nazi's, not by Gene. He was an armorer, not part of the infantry. They were supposed to be crushed by him to prevent recapture and reuse, and sent to a steel mill to be melted and used by the Nazi's to make armaments. I suppose you could say he stole war materials from the Nazi's that would have been used against the Allies. They probably would have shot him or sent him to the Russian front if they caught him.

You knew all of that Bob, but you have some low class ignorant need to repeat lies and make shit up. That's the kind of person you are. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the folks at CSMC chose to not do business with you because they got sick of you.
