Yes, I've noticed it's been slow over the past few days as well.

YES!!!

Extremely Slow, as I even did a scan and a clean up on mu PC, and it helped but I just noticed something is going on here!

I've experienced that myself -- and am seeing it right now. I run an eeros mesh network in-house and my Internet service is on fiber optic. This Website is the only thing I use that varies between sluggish and non-existent. The problem is fairly recent although I can't peg a date -- best guess would be a month.

Is it just me or is the forum running unusually slow? My computer is running quickly on other aspects, but takes quite some time to even load the forum once I have signed in. If there are several updated topics it takes even longer to open a topic. In the recent past I have stopped, turned off my computer entirely and restarted to see if that makes a difference. It doesn't. Download speeds on the overall computer system are the quickest I've had in a long time (in excess of 200 mbs) Tim

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. -Bert

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?

I highly recommend that you read the articles that Roger Adams wrote and were published in the WACA Collector magazine.
Bert

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
