					                        <description><![CDATA[<p>I wonder what other pieces are being "released" from the Robert M. Lee collection?</p>
<p>I didn't know who he was, so I looked him up. Thinking others may be wondering as well, here's what I found: </p>
<p>Lee was an American who became a professional hunter and safari organizer, who popularized Angola as a safari destination. He founded Hunting World, a supplier of hunting gear that expanded into fashionable bags and leather goods. </p>
<p>He must have done well because he became a serious arms and car collector and owned millions of dollars in real estate.</p>
<p>Lee died in Reno, Nevada in 2016. </p>

					                        <description><![CDATA[<p>A few years back I wrote an article about a Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle that was likely used by a member of the 4th Texas Cavalry in a Civil War battle at Glorieta, NM and the related campaign. While researching the article some of the names seemed familiar. I thought the Glorieta battle was mentioned in the movie Outlaw Josey Wales but recently discovered that it was part of the backdrop for the Good, Bad and Ugly. Eastwood movies often have interesting firearms, even if not necessarily correct.</p>

<p>I was a bit disappointed to learn that the auction house would take advantage of knowing your max bid and use fake bidders to take advantage of that knowledge. I know it's their job to get the best price for the sellers but that sounds dishonest to me. Most states license their auctioneers and I feel quite sure such practices should jeopardize that license but maybe I'm being naive. I know a buyer who will put in bids on dozens of items at big auctions and I can't help but wonder how much this practice has cost his company over the years at hundreds of auctions. Maybe they have different rules for some bidders.</p>

If ever I had to suffer someone to root around in my brain, I would search for your obsessive neurosurgical clone. -Zeb</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Zeb-</p>
<p>My dad had a neurosurgeon who also lacked that quality. His chart apparently opined he was not communicative so nurses were surprised when they had a long conversation. Apparently a radiation research biologist and a neurosurgeon were able to find some common ground. The neurosurgeon also read his chart thoroughly and wisely chose not to talk down to him. There ARE some good docs out there!</p>

Hi Bert-<br />
I honestly don't know... <br />
This came from my trolling the McCracken digital library for M70 related stuff...  I'm sure you noticed that I "oversimplified" my description, as the second pic is actually a 1938 extraction of centerfire calibers that had been discontinued since the 1930 version.  Still it showed the M54 bore specifications from 1930, which is why I posted it...<br />
I wish the McCracken library had the time/personnel to make their holdings useful/accessible... Insofar as I can tell it's hopeless unless you have the time (and influence) to be permitted to go through the MS20 (WRACO records) yourself...  If only there were a knowledgeable Winchester "historian" who could take a Sabbatical and spend a year bringing order to what (I think) is a disorganized mess...<br />

<p>I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble accessing the incredible amount of data that appears to be accessible online. In my case I'm sure it is mostly the result of my IT shortcomings but it looks like a fantastic resource. While you're at it could you see what you can do about MS63? There's a needle in that haystack that might be a big help for something I'm working on.</p>
