I may have to review that article, thanks for bringing it up. Seem to recall I was somewhat fascinated with the extractor and the story of the development.

For example, using the search terms WINCHESTER 1885 .30-06, and getting a manageable number to search?  It seems to pick up every thread with the word Winchester in it, etc.
  

Ian,
Click the "Advanced Search" link directly below the Search box, and then change the default settings to a different option.

I tried that typing in Winchester 1885 and .30-06 and the results aren’t exactly narrowed down much.
  

What specifically are you searching for?
  

I hate to ask again, but how many Winchester 1885s were manufactured in .30-06 and what’s the date or serial number of the earliest one?
  

Per my article in the Winter 2021 edition of the Collector magazine, there were (25) that letter, and all of them were the International Match Rifles (IMRs) manufactured for the 1913 Camp Perry match.  All of the IMRs were received in the warehouse and shipped in August of 1913.  The 30-06 Gov't was never a standard cartridge in the Single Shot due to it being a rim less cartridge.  The IMRs were essentially custom built specifically for the U.S. Army so they could compete in the Camp Perry.  I highly recommend that you read the articles that Roger Adams wrote and were published in the WACA Collector magazine.

I thank you immensely!  What dates should I search for in previous issues for the Roger Adams articles?

You expected those key words to narrow down your search Ian? 
That’s much TOO broad of a search, be very specific in what you’re looking for. I’ve found specific, years old WACA threads that I was looking for

I've found a carefully worded Google search generally brings me back to the forum. There are other search functions but I'd be the wrong person to advise on the relative merits.

Mike

I don't use the search much, but I will try the advanced!

Thanks!

Bert, I did a disk cleanup and logged out and back in.  Still have the problem?
  

Did you clear your browser history?  There is a difference between a "disk cleanup" and clearing the browser history.  
I do not have the technical ability to figure out what is causing the issue that you are experiencing.  However, it does not appear to be a global issue that is affecting everyone, which points towards something in your profile settings, or your PC device.
Bert
  

Well, I clicked on the icon that selects all unread posts and that corrected it.  We'll see when a new post is made.

Hey Bert,
Any reason that when I put in a search topic, it doesn't work properly, and wont search for me?
 
Thanks,
Tony
  

Yes... you most likely not being specific enough with the search parameters.  That said, the Search feature in the software program for the Forums is not very robust.  We/I have no control over it.

Are you using the basic "Search" box selection, or are you using the "Advanced Search" selection?  My advice is to always select the "Advance Search" option.
