Just got a reply to my most recent email...!

Vol 19, No 1, Spring 2008 just arrived in my mail. I'm glad they send the complimentary "reminder" copy after your subscription expires; I need the grace period the way surface mail is going.

Too bad you don't live in a city. You could just pick up a copy at Border's or Barnes & Noble stores. It's great to buy only the ones with stuff that interests me. Less interesting tomes with only few articles of interest can be read over gourmet cup of Coffee.

Just picked up mine at local Barnes und Noble. Nice issue ;)The Winchester Model 101, Finding Out For Myself...Wall-Hanger Rendezvous...., The NRA-RBL, A Unique Remington Model 1894BE... Enjoy the benefits of your subscriptions boyz.

And the start of a Trip to Suhl with JP Sauer.Mine came 3 days ago a bit unusual to be early.

Came today. I learned that serialization of articles is problematic at the Cote factory and that the history of laminated barrels is a "twisted" tale. I would have learned how to project the contents of missing Parker records but I fell asleep. Or maybe I nodded during the thrill-packed, multi-generational search for the smallbore Elsie. This one wasn't their A-game.

Jack, not all sex is over the top, but any sex is better than no sex. Don't sell Mr. Cote short. He is doing something no one else is doing. I defy anyone to argue my point successfully. I kind of like a bad DGJ.

I can argue your point successfully, Bill. Remember I'm the guy who thought the article on Iver Johnson required two cigarettes afterwards.

Take a peek at page 39. That laddie has Docter holosight mounted on good ole' SxS rifle. That is state of the art sighting equipment for fast close range shootin' often found in driven large game hunt scenario. It's quite popular in Europe and I have been thinking about putting one of them gizmos by Docter or Zeiss on my 9.3x62.

Just picked one up at the local stand-


I poked my head in the shop, saw the kidney color where it'd been absent on my last few visits and snatched a copy from the rack.
For whatever reason my instinct is to with my left hand flip from the last page to the first as I 'flip though' a magazine.
Through the first third of my little tour of the summer issue I saw three pinfire long guns, one of them a rifle -- and it'd have it's own article. Definitely looked like an issue I'd warm up to once I got it home.

Naturally when I got back to the house I sat down and went straight to the pinfire double rifle article, the
Morgenroth rifle article.

Am I the only one here (including the editorial staff) who noticed that the featured pinfire double rifle (which is pretty neato) isn't the same rifle in the old vintage photograph of Judge Rubin, and that Judge Rubin is hanging on to a muzzle-loader, complete with ramrod and thimbles?

Could be a build from the muzzle loader -- could be.
The article has much to do with the story of provenance, much based on the photo.

Where's the distinction between story and provenance?
