Marcus your right. Have not heard from Mikey here on the forum for a long time. Hope he is OK and well.

Hopefully he was finally able to retire. My last personal email was about 5 digit Inland's around the time New Zealand was having the earthquakes.

I hope he's doing OK. I haven't spoken to Charlie for a while, but in the past he's explained to me how his work goes. As with all construction, it's feast or famine and Charlie never turns a job down. When he's busy he might have several jobs going at once and he'll put in VERY long days (and nights) for weeks with no break. Charlie told me when he's busy like that he won't even read email for weeks at a time. Workaholic for sure.

Charlie was out for a long period medically a few years back when he was kicked by his horse and it (literally) about killed him.

I remember that episode...
Ya don't suppose he wandered into that pen again do you?

If anyone is in contact with him tell him to at least drop in to say "hi".

Mike,

I know life happens to all of us. But it's good to see your breathing and coming around again. Post or email when you get a chance.

Thanks for the replies everybody. Good to hear that the man in the Shadows is still active ! I had a guy approach me with #70730XX for some help a few weeks ago. Factory stamped, but with a few missing parts. S. A. barrel. A long way from the 5 digits. Not a great find but I thought I may try and take, then post some pics. We may learn something from it. Is the C.C still up and running ?. Mike.

[new2brass]

by "factory stamped" are you referring to the M1 or M2 as opposed to hand stamped?
Yes C.C. still up and running. quick check of published high low numbers shows Inland high number in that block reported as 7,0xx,xxx.
I for one an interested in knowing if this is the new high number.

[Mikey 52]

Factory 2, not handstamped or overstamped. From the block ending in #7,234,883 as I read it.
