Liek OWD, I'm a younger guy, but I've been here since 2002. Actually I lurked before then from 1999 or so off and on. I don't post much, but love learning from people on the board!

A usual poster back then was AYA Jeff with all his baggage of AyA knowledge.
Whatever happened to him?

I seem to remember Ted mentioned contacting him recently.

I know from PMs that ignorance, bad manners, lack of common courtesy, disgraceful language and an inability to keep a civil tongue deprived us of valuable contrbuters to the board. No need to wonder where or why they went. Although the abuse was rarely directed at them, it wasn't company they wanted to keep.

I am not sure when I looked in on this site but I traded Pete the first nine or ten years of the Double Gun Journal for 3 super stock blanks around 10 years ago. Still have one of them, just haven't found the right gun for it yet.
Remember the long diatribes we used to get into with HE WHO CAN'T BE MENTIONED? What a nitwit that guy was.
Pete this thread was a great idea. Say helo to Wonko for me.

'tight lines'

I haven't seen that signature in quite a while.

I finally deleted Oscar's, Russ' and Bill's when we moved and my email address changed.

Then I happened to click into the address book of my hotmail account. They're all still listed. I haven't brought myself to delete them again.

What a great read! I lurk more than anything but used to post on Stevens, Miroku's, Simsons and other poor boy guns. Now I'm into Remington 17s, 1950s 870s and other undervalued corn shuckers. I paid for my girls braces, all three, with the last of the over valued SxSs I had. I was always a hunter first anyway. Oscar and Russ were always great and when I got to meet Bill Wise I was a better person for it.

I still drop in now and again but had my hand smacked for trying to sell a 17 to a good home awhile back.

I still have PMs and emails from Bill.

When he found out I had a young son (8 @ the time), he sent me a copy of his short story "Father's Day".

(now available @ http://www.doublegunshop.com/billwise1.htm )

A few days later, he emailed me some thoughts regarding my time spent w/ my son, which I still re-read when the father/son relationship gets a little strained, as can occasionally be the case w/ a 13 year old.

Doublegunshop.com - a site about SxS shotguns?

Yes, but w/ men like Bill around, it occasionally was (and w/ any luck will continue to occasionally be) so much more.


Always looking for small bore Francotte SxS shotguns.

I didn't realise the board had THAT much heritage. Amazing.

Also, I wish I knew the post on the board when it was called gunshop were being auto-deleted after some time. I'd have saved some of the threads.

This is an unbelievable place and it's a priviledge to be here.
