doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com i'm a 2 decader, who else is?

I run a Mac too, Ted. But not that old. Glad you hung around all those years.

All my best, SRH

I thought I was living large when I got windows 95.
I sorta miss all the illegal operation warnings that kept me company surfing.
I just retired my 486/win 97 that was upgraded to xp with a 10" screen.

My registration date is '03 but I've been tuning in daily since 2000 when I got my first PC.

Sure do miss some of the good old boys who posted such fantastic information about double guns and the different methods to repair them. Dr. Gaddy, John Mann, etc.

I've learned a lot here over the years & try to make a contribution every year to help Dave keep things up & running.

I registered 1/1/02, but was around long before that on the old board. Got my first PC (Kaypro) in the late 80's. Went from a manual typewriter to a computer. Seemed that for a long time, this board and the old alloutdoors board were about the only places for people like us to play.

And remember the days when Gun List (aka Gun Lust) was the place to search for guns? Bought and sold a bunch of guns via GL.

Some of us print old threads for research. That's how I'm going to find my early dates. By the way, I still occasionally use my long carriage IBM Selectric. I recently got an offer to buy it from a legal firm. I can't remember how they said they were going to use it.

funny you should mention print outs. i just happen to have a print out from 3-21-99. it is from DJM (david j moses) he was an ex-pat in germany. he was supposed to be moving back to the US, and he just disappeared from the board. his knowledge of teutonic guns and other such info was an excellent source of info.

russ had a gun marked "david moses" and to be honest iam 99% sure it was "david j moses" on the rib. it was a continental gun, and i am sure the name was just a retailer. but we thought it was funny that a double from germany with his name engraved on the rib.i wish i remember more about the gun.

damn, i sure do miss russ. the other icons too, but russ was someone i was closest to.

Russ, Bill Wise, David Moses, Greg Tag (kept track of Flues failures) . . . the first two are deceased, but David and Greg were both great contributors.

I�ve been a member since 1997,where I got my first PC at work. I rarely post since I learn more by listening tha posting and exposing my ignorance. With all this negative banter and commentary and lack of civil discourse, I remember vividly one of the first kerfuffle�s on this Board between Pete Hiatt and some either Greek or Lithuanian guy Yakuakas or something of the sort, where Pete reached out to him on some camping excursion in Oregon and the guy tried shafting him (no, not literally) on the BBS message board. Got real ugly, but Dave showed the same equanimity then a he does now. There is no shortage of AH�s in cyberspace as well as terra firma.

I started in about 1982 with Atari or Texas Instruments moving on to Bitten Apple. My first interactions on this board was regarding Japanese Winchester. The question was answered by Ole' Cowboy. I got my first double barrels from Tuomo of Finland. Them were the days. Dam it I must now watch old black and white move and pour some warm Dutch beer.

Can't remember when I found this special place. I believe it was back in the 90's. But I have been around to see plenty of battles fought here on this site.
