LeFusil....sorry you continue to be wrong. On Reilly you are just repeating bromides and homilies you've read for the last 30 years...and most of what has been written about that firm is flat out erroneous as I've detailed repeatedly. You've done no research on Reilly and apparently you won't bother to read the work others have done. Again sorry - I don't want to create a flame-war but on Reilly you have no credibility.
Now, once you get around to reading the Reilly line, and the new history or Reilly....I'll be glad to answer questions posed about why I wrote what I did.
You’re ridiculous. “The new history”, huh? You talk a lot of smack for someone with absolutely no proof. If your so called new history of Reilly were a college or even high school paper, you’d get an A for effort an F for content and provable facts. If you actually think Reilly made a Scott-Baker patent crystal indicator gun or a Lockfast Dougall at their “store”...you’re nuts. Keep pimpin your tired, unprovable Reilly lines. Nobody is listening or reading your garbage research and buying into your fantasy. You want so badly for someone to buy into your fantasy it’s starting to come off as a little bonkers to tell you the truth. You’ve invaded the “best guns thread” and turned it into the “Reilly forum”, your words, , not mine. You can keep bloviating about your crack research, but until you offer up some absolutely empirical evidence to support any of your conclusions....it’s just writing with no meaning.
Go ahead, tell us all again about Reilly’s patent exploding bullet of 1869....the only thing anyone affiliated with the Reilly name can claim they contributed to gun technology.
I’ll say it again..and it’s entirely up to you to prove this wrong...Reilly had no real gunmaking factory. 19th century trade labels and company advertising doesn’t count or make it so. Reilly never made an action in house. Reilly never made barrels in house. Reilly didn’t own gun making machines. Reilly didn’t manufacture barreled actions in house. Reilly had no manufacturing capabilities at all (if they did, they would’ve been involved in wartime efforts).
Prove me wrong, real evidence this time if you please.
