I too am a member and what laxcoach stated is correct. One of the reasons guns were not sold on the site is sometimes there is friction between the buyer and the seller, mostly from the buyer stating something is wrong with the gun, same as on here and elsewhere. Our site does not need this aggravation and is not something that should be posted for all to see, that is why we are looking for a way to do this between members that have to then log-in. There is usually less friction between members in selling guns than to non members.
The L.C. Smith site is open to anyone that is looking for information as to when their gun was made as we have all the ledgers from 1890, or having a problem with ejectors, Hunter One Trigger, etc, looking for schematics or pictures on how to fix something, who to send it to for repair. The list would go on and on.
On our site you do not need to log in, just post what you want to have answered.
Most of the information given, if you had to send it to a gunsmith at his rate per hour plus shipping is quite a bargain and maybe we to should have a login to get these questions answered and this way gain new members, still a good deal at $40.00 a year.
As stated by laxcoach, many of these questions can be answered by typing in what you are looking for in the Search box, but as most of us are lazy we would rather just type it in and wait for an answer, which is usually given. With all the knowledge on this site there are not many questions if any that are not answered. As redundant as some are, they are still addressed.
