    Problems with Gunboards 1/6/20

    Is anyone having problems getting onto the Gunboards Forum ?

    Had the problem for a couple of days now, but don't know if its 'just me' (or not).

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    If a site is offline (you are getting a timeout message or it does not open), try this.

    Check if it is only you. Go HERE and type in "gunboards.com", to see if it is down for everyone or just you.

    It has been up and down sporadically. Much, much more down than up. Began yesterday afternoon.

    As a Moderator, I can relay that none of the Moderator crew received any warning from Admin. So, it was not planned, to my knowledge.

    The error page which appears states that the browser cannot find the server. This last happened for a few days in 2017 (2014, 2012, 2009). Let's hope it is temporary again.

    When I check on the link you kindly provided it say "its just you". Strange - there must be quite a few of us "just you"

    I got the same "it's just you" message... I typed "forums.gunboards" in and it came right up and worked on my 'favorite' links ever since....

    Seems to be working normal again now, as are the other sites I couldn't access earlier. Odd.

    Would be nice if someone was able to archive all of John Wall's posts. If the site isn't profitable enough the Canadians will pull the plug without warning. Also the company that owns it is owned by the media company that owns the Toronto Star, which is a left wing media company. So they have no love for firearms.
