I must agree with you Jim.
Information / history / stories and experiences for me are such a k=large part of collecting the arms. Shooting the arm and experimenting with reloading and repairing it are just one part that prompts questions and research,
the other part for me is that I enjoy the history of the development of arms, not just the engineering but the reasons and needs for the advances. All go to explain why the arm took on that form.
So any small snippets of info and personal experiences that could be lost in time are so interesting and enriches the experience of shooting, collecting and the social kife that goes with it.
So if me question goes of the topic then that is fine by me as we will all gain.
