I'd like to create an award to honor two former members of this forum who shared technical knowledge so freely,
"Whitey" and "J.D. Steele". They were both wonderful contributors to this forum.
The award is for the best thread on this Classic & Custom Single Barreled Sporting Rifles section of this forum started between
September 27, 2017 and September 27, 2018. With the winner to be announced on October 10th 2018, the fifth anniversary of Whitey's death.
The award will consist of a certificate and a slide blank for a Lyman 48 sight.
Please use this thread to nominate other threads and please send me a PM if you wish to help judge.

I absolutely agree with Brent, and think this is a very moving idea, thanks Fred.

Lots of threads to look through in the last year, but I like it! Whitey Hanson was a good friend, and JD Steele was someone I really enjoyed reading posts from!

I thought I would bring this back to the top for a bit.

Great idea! I miss them both terribly, but the guns/parts I got from them keep them alive in my life.

I own a Rolling Block I pictured in the "favorite gun" thread. The action was a trade from Whitey. The wood from another departed friend, and skeletonized buttplate from a recently departed friend. I think of Whitey every time I shoot it!

I'll take a stab and nominate Dewey Vicnair and Dennis Daigger. Their posts weren't like the honorees', but there won't be any like theirs again.

Oops, sorry. I had in mind Dewey's posts regarding his sidelock, from scratch double rifle and Dennis' last Martini series.
