Does anyone know what became of Michaels shotgun research? He loved the early custom shotguns as much as he loved bolt rifles. I recently was watching an auction for a gun Im sure would have been included in his Shotgun Book if he would have written one.

Just wondering if anyone here might know where to turn to inquire if copies of his shotgun research could be had. You know he wrote it all down...

I have asked the same question about some of his rifle research, Really a shame it isn't publically accessible in some way.

Joe Dobrzynski took care of helping with Michaels estate sales after he passed away. If anyone knows, I'd say Joe would be the best source.

I got an email from a member letting me know the papers are with the single shot association. I plan to call next week to determine what access we have.

Thanks to all!

I can't think of any donation of gun research to any organization turned out well. It's amazing how free research that turns into $100 for a letter on one gun is something some people seem to think is OK. It is not OK. Michael was as confused as anyone on what to do with paper.

Do you remember why he didn't send it to Cody? Seems like a logical place, but I think he had a reason that he did not.

If I was made keeper of some old notes, it wouldn't bother me to occasionally look something up. If people started assuming it was a free reseach service, I don't see how that adds up to a reliable long term solution? It's not the worst place for potentially interesting records to be kept. Maybe, the organization can come up with a way to dedicate specific donations for digitizing the records, with corresponding access assurances in return for the funding.
