In the 1990's and into the early 2000's I was fortunate to be involved with Russ Ruppel, Oscar Gaddy and Art Mckee, among others and as a result, we exchanged several "project guns". As a result of my downsizing my collection (I have helped far to many widows to liquidate their spouse's collections to put my own wife in that position) and I thought that some here my be interested in them and felt it to be prudent to see if any members would like the first opportunities at them (we met on this BBS and exchanged many concepts and designs over the years, not to mention great friendships and mentoring) Dave, I will make sure you are correctly compensated if any sales are made.

I Would also like to thank all the members here for the knowledge, views, and some damn fine arguments that have taken place over the last 20 odd years. I've made some
truly great friendships and have benefited greatly from all the information and ideas shared.
