Well, its gotten to be a pretty good place to post and read about military history, planes, ships, battles and individual acts of heroism. Plus a fair share of ranting and raving, which you don't have to click on.

oops, forgot to include tanks and artillery

When Dick and Gloria first set up the "Gun Talk" forum, Dick said that it was a forum where you could talk about anything including beagle hounds, cigars, etc. Today underneath the forum header it still reads: The "Cracker Barrel" Forum! Post whatever you like.

Once politics got too heavy, they set up the 2nd Amendment Forum as a no holes barred political forum.

Re: Guntalk, etc. Agree. Sign of the times.

Of more interest to myself, want to compliment you on the slings that I have bought from your company. Have bought the 1907's as that is what I like on my rifles. Been using one or another of the type for forty years. Yours have been of excellent quality. Even better than the USGI slings that I used for so long. Sincerely. bruce.

I have to second that. The 1907 slings are great. I thought maybe I would use them on the range but instead most of the use is out elk hunting. I got a 'correct" sling for my 1884 trapdoor but think I'll pick up a 1907 for that one too.

Many thanks for the kind words. Business has been rough at times over the past several years, but still hanging in there. Over the years, I've employed and run through every nephew and neighbor's kid on our road. My Mom worked for me for almost 15 years, up until she come down with leukemia, we lost her in 2012, she was 77. It was a real blessing working with my Mom. What can I say, I got to see her everyday Monday through Friday. Kind of felt like I made up for lost time while I was away playing Marine. Never thought I would lose her so soon. Today its just me and the wife (Camille), running the shop. This is our 31st year since I started in 1989. It all began while stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA. In the early days, I rebuilt several of the old McClellan saddles that the base color guard used for parades and ceremonies, as well as many of the saddles at the base stables.

Regards,

Richard

Dick and Gloria were ahead of their times when they made this the cracker barrel forum for us to post anything within reason we want to ask or say.

I get the cracker barrel interpretation. I just noticed that the political side started to stray in. This is the side that we can discuss various subjects. Trucks, weather, ect. But not Trump.
