I've had Mr. Shufflin repair my stocks and he used to require a mark just to have your stock repaired. Do you require a mark to have a collectors type stock repaired Rick?
Tim also used to require a brand in his stocks when he place repro cartoucheons on them. He quit that practice a while ago. He quit it because it did not make anyone happy including you Rick. I saw the post on the CMPwhere you told him that his brand meant nothing. You damned him when he did brand his stocks and you damn him again now. You are truly a better man than him.
One more thing, RCS the comments you speak of regarding closing down the CMP are not Mr. Shufflin's or any "they". The comments are from one person. Saying this is no different than if someone here stated the same remark and someone else said this forum wanted to close down the CMP. This is simply a lie.
