    Did you know?


    Don't know how many of you (if any) were around in the very beginning when we started this thing on ProBoards, but today (9/1/2021) is the 20th anniversary of my creating this site. It's been a long road with many ups and downs over the years, and an unimaginable number of folks have clicked through these pages during that time. Yet this site has always managed to weather whatever storms came it's way which is a testament to the quality of the people who make it up (that's you folks). I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here today and all those who came before them for making our little site the close-knit community that it is, and given a little luck and your continued support I'm hoping we can keep it going for another 20+ years.

    Thank you. Such things are often more angst than reward.

    Your efforts are appreciated.

    I know this is not the biggest gun forum on the net but it is one of the best. The information you have accumulated on this site by you, Fred and all of those other icons has helped many people get to know there rifles. Thanks to you Jim, Fred and all of the others.

    I still see Boiler up on a couple of forums. He is one of the great ones.

    This is by FAR the best firearms forum I’ve been involved with over the past 20 years. Probably more than a dozen...maybe more...15-20 different “Gun” forums. Something like that. This is the only forum I truly enjoy anymore. Always been a good place...only a small amount of “Good Ol’ Boys” CLUB or following some renowned “expert” stuff here. Plethora of awesome info for less experienced enthusiasts and many, many people here always willing to help someone in need with info, expertise...even a tool loaner or spare part given to help another. Great place...truly. Thank you very much to the members who are sincere in making this forum about learning & sharing. With my situation, not getting out a whole lot, I genuinely appreciate my time here.
