Lee,you got me there!
I started with the old format maybe in 2000, really don't remember. Found it by searching for gun shop too I think.
I do remember when Wayne Nish got his bespoke matched pair and someone said it was absurd to get one considering the type of hunting available in the US; I remember justifying it just by the joy it would give me to open the gun case.
Bill Wise... well now I really can't see the keyboard. What an example!
What a surprise it was when I learned Montana was a Lady, knowledgeable, great sense of humour, enthusiastic and proficient shooter... Not my intention to sound like a male chauvinist pig btw.
Oscar's posts are really missed; he even took the time to answer emails with very basic questions. Back then Michael Orlen posted a lot more under MrMoe.
Lots of memories, like the long thread about the basque shepherds and the gun trove that I never got around to read in its entirety.
Cary, thank you.
