Carbine Club

[DaveHH]

I've been a member for around eight years and have always been impressed with the quality of the publication. Those guys worked a lot to keep this thing going. Every once in awhile you got a really wonderful article like Mr. Powers work, Chris Albright's Inland issues or Brian Quick's Standard Products article. But you could see that at some point there was nothing more coming down the pipe. How much was left to discover? It also was pretty clear to me that most of the new people entering the hobby of carbines were not interested in the history of the gun. They just wanted to know what slide was correct for an early Rock Ola. The puzzle killed it. These guys were much more interested in swapping out the parts than why it was made, who made it and what their particular gun was. The new guys would start out saying how much they loved their new carbine, how they weren't going to change a thing and a week later were asking where they could buy a correct stock. It was predictable that in the end, the part swappers, the fake parts and the cheaters would get the best of the real collectors. My thanks goes out to the CC staff, they were great.
