". Last issue had one decent article on Baker SBT but how many made to be of interest to more than .01% of readers? Suggestion to the editor, how about soliciting articles of interest to most of your readers? Your stats should show how many live in the good old US? Can you talk to people at Parker, L.C. Smith, Lefever and Fox Collector groups and see what they can gin up for your journal?"
This is EXACTLY what causes periodicals to become duds.
I don't own Bakers and never will but I can enjoy an article on them just the same. The worse thing a magazine can do it cater to a certain subset within a hobby.
If you want an example, look at the various muscle car magazines. Every single issue contains an article on Hemi cudas or Z11 Camaros despite the fact only they made about a dozen of each.
But you'll never see an article on a Fury or a Caprice despite the fact they hundred of thousands of each.
I agree the British auction article gotta go but I hardly want to kill off the one source in the world for articles on British guns, single shot rifles, or lesser known American brands.
