Uploaded Photos of Rock Island Arsenal Drawings of the M1907 Sling and M1907 Modified (Browning Automatic Rifle Sling) Took awhile to dig these up.


Also two part video of me (no actor, wife says don't quit my day job), forming the M1907 Frog/Hooks.

Hello Richard …

Thank you for your posts, as well as describing your entrepreneurial experience in growing your small business. Personally, I enjoyed the pics and videos showing the various manufacturing techniques.

However, I have moved your thread to the Commercial Auction and Sale “Gossip” forum, as it borderlines somewhat on business solicitation and advertising. We have received some private email complaints from members and paid advertisers, who point out that your company financially supports other guns sites, but not this one.

I have no idea whether this is true or not, but I would ask that out of respect to our paid advertisers who directly aid in keeping our site going through their “banner” support, that you keep your posts to an educational focus in nature.

Having said that, I’m sure we would all enjoy seeing more videos and pics of the manufacturing process and how your products are made.

Thank you for you consideration…

Regards,
Doug
