I know Mallory died years ago but I was under the impression the Springfield Research Service still existed?

I just did a search for it and the old SRS site came up with a notice that the new url was Martial Arms Collector. But when I found that site in the search and tried to click it it tried to redirect me to a porn site! Hopefully didn't get any viruses or other nasties from it.

Is it kaput/go under and lose it's domain? What happened?

Just tried it here. Searched and found it working. You do know the free on line lookup has been removed for some time now. For a check now you must be a paid member 35.00 a year. Not sure what toe I stepped on but early this year my renewal check was mailed back to me uncashed twice so I took the HINT!
Almost all the numbers they have are in the five book Mr Mallory published over the years so if you post a number nere someone with the boos will I think look for you.

Thanks for the info, I'm a little hesitant to try again but it could be that the link in the search results had been compromised.

Am glad to know they are still around at least.

SRS is still in business. I received my copy of the latest U. S. Martial Arm Collector magazine last week.

I probably stepped on all ten of 'em, and no longer go through the motions. If I ever want to fill out my MAC series, it will have to be sub-rosa (and I'll have to be very careful whom I pick as the intermediary). What a difference a death made!

I'm always glad to look up numbers.
