A Note from the President . . .
Change, Change,
Change . . .
It’s Awful, Painful, Frustrating & Necessary!
If you are like me, you are not a huge fan of massive change. Once
you are in the groove and comfortable, somebody goes and changes something and it can
really rock your boat. But grudgingly, I have to admit that change can be good.
Over time, everything we work at or are involved with, is at risk for breaking down, getting
mixed up, losing its purpose or direction, or even decaying. Often, however, because it is
easier to keep going in a certain direction rather than to change, we just keep going down
that path. Sometimes we even forget the reason we set off down a particular path.
If you are walking in the woods and you suddenly realize you are going the wrong direction,
the smart thing to do is to stop, evaluate and then turn around and backtrack to where you
got on the wrong path. Being stubborn and not turning around just gets you deeper and
deeper into the woods in the wrong direction. One of the first rules when you are lost in the
woods is to stop walking, don’t panic, and “hug a tree” so that you can evaluate where you
are and, if possible, get yourself back on the right path or wait for help. The important thing is
not to panic and run wild into the woods just to “Change Direction.”
You don’t want to “throw the baby out with the bathwater” either, changing just to change,
when things are really not broken. That is just asking for trouble, drama, and discontent.
Sometimes everything is just fine, you are just bored with it. Another possibility is that things
are wrong in other areas but you can’t see clearly since you are in “Panic Mode” and start
changing the wrong things.
I have made all these mistakes, both in my life and in business! Even recently. But I have tried
to learn some lessons along the way. One is to stop and evaluate a problem without panic.
The second is to get some help or advice from others. A third is to maintain accurate
thinking, meaning get as much data on the real problem as you can, so you can make a
rational decision before changing direction. Also, make sure you do a gut check and remember why you started down that path in the first place. Finally, check to see if anything has
really changed with your mission.
There are, however, many, many benefits to change when appropriate. For example, recently I
went through a big one when I moved my family to a different house. I cleaned out a huge
pile of old junk giving me more room to create new ideas and projects.
As we approach our Special 100th issue of GunTech (can you believe it?! I hardly can, eight
plus years has gone by so quickly), we are re-evaluating our content and processes, being
willing to keep what works and change what doesn’t. We need your help in making these
decisions wisely and as a result, we will be asking you to give us your input on what features
and benefits you like, don’t like, or would like to see added. Please participate in this effort on
your behalf by filling out a simple GCA member online survey. When it is ready, I will even
offer you an “ethical bribe” just to do it. So, be watching for that survey offer and again,
please participate! Every month we strive hard to deliver the valuable information you desire
and benefit from. This survey will help us continue to do that.
So, have no fear - Change, when needed, is Good. Right? Right!
Best regards, Gene Kelly ~ President Gun Club of America

Jack’s Corner
Jack Landis is AGI Technical Services Manager, GCA Connection and GunTech Editor
June, 2014, GunTech Issue
#98. Wow, two issues
away from our 100th issue.
In April 2006 when I
volunteered to write and
edit this Connection
magazine, which holds up
the DVD in the envelope, I was worried about what I, and
you members, could find to write about, or in the case of
this column, comment on for the eight issues remaining in
the year. Well, that was eight and one quarter years ago
and here we are.
Through cancer, the Great Recession, President Obama,
Senator Harry Reid, and more ridiculous California laws,
here we are. The California laws grow stupid and stupider
(yeah, I know it’s not a word, but it should be!), and we’re
left with the inconceivable situation where Governor Jerry
Brown, release 2.0, is considered to be “The adult in the
room!!??”, and is protecting us from the formerly Super
Majority statehouse Democrats wildly
spending our temporary (first tiny one in
years) surplus (actually an accounting
gimmick) as if it were a new and unending fire hydrant of cash. I have obviously descended into
Wonderland, God save me.
We have a policy here at AGI/GCA against discussing
politics, so, to take a page out of the Politicians’ Handbook,
“Let me state unequivocally that I have not been
discussing politics!” “But Jack”, you say, “we have your
printed column in front of us and clearly you are
discussing politics.” “That’s not true, I never said that, and
anyone who says I did is just saying so for partisan political
reasons. I mean, who are you going to believe, me or your
lying eyes?”
OK, sorry, but I just had to get that off my chest.
I have not told Mr. Gene what he’s planning yet
for our August GCA 'Live' 100th Month
Anniversary webcast yet, but
I’ve got
some
pretty
neat products
squirreled away that I did evals
and tests on over the years. Seems like
4 this might be a cool time to give away some of these.
We spent a day at the Sacramento Valley Shooting Range
last week and shot some really fun guns. We shoot a lot of
semi autos of various flavors and configurations, both rifles
and pistols. All of you know Mr. Gene’s predilection for
black guns and semi auto military derivatives. This last
round of guns was in from Chiappa, who has sent us quite
a few guns recently. No, we don’t own stock in Chiappa
and none of our relatives works there (though I must admit
that would have its certain benefits, heh, heh, heh.), sometimes it just works out that way.
As this month’s GCA Live listeners heard, we shot a number of vintage type guns. We had an 1860 Spencer
Carbine in .45 Long Colt, an 1886 Winchester Trapper
model with 16" barrel in .45/70, and the tri-barrel Chiappa
Triple Threat shotgun which we’ve shown you and shot a
year ago at the SHOT Show. This time however we got to
spend some range time with it and do
some serious blasting.
Chiappa’s Little Badger .22LR
survival/kid's gun
With a nod to one of Mr. K’s other loves,
we shot the Little Badger .22LR top break single shot
youth/survival rifle. This gun, as a minimalist survival/
backpack rifle, would be hard to beat. Lighter than a pistol,
and a longer reach. The gun was accurate offhand and
had a surprisingly good trigger. With a compact low
power scope, or maybe better - a 2 minute red dot - this
would do almost anything you needed a survival rifle/kids
first rifle to do.
The Spencer was a great deal of fun to shoot and accurate
enough for its purpose, and also had a darn good trigger
as well. Actually, all of the various Chiappa guns we’ve
shot in the last couple of years had very good triggers, and
I don’t just mean relative to other makers’ trigger finger
strength testers. Given its weight, its recoil was in the
.22RF range with the softball Cowboy .45 LC loads.

Ms. Lenée allowed as how she could shoot it all day, and
she probably could have, given that El Jefe was paying for
the ammo. It took a while for me to get used to the sight
picture with that great huge hammer blocking my view to
the right. I’m sure this was a matter of small moment to

Union Cavalry troopers who could empty a 7
round magazine and reload its tube faster than a
Confederate trooper could reload his muzzle loader once.
The ’86 was really pleasant to shoot offhand as well, with
the standard Remington .45/70 load that is safe in all
guns originally chambered in this caliber, including the
relatively weak Trapdoor Springfields. It moves a 405
grain lead bullet along at a fairly leisurely 1,200 or so fps.
The Hornady LEVERevolution 325 grain bullet loads at
about 50% more velocity were a distinctly different beast.
Hornady LEVERevolution 325 grain
Flex Tip .45/70 Spitzer
No one failed to tell the difference between those two
cartridges when shooting, mixed rounds or not. I did not
think to bring any of my Buffalo Bore .45/70 Magnum
ammo, almost certainly to the appreciation of our other
shooters. It moves its 430 grain hardcast bullet at about
1900 fps and I can tell you that in my full size ’95 Marlin
“Unpleasant” doesn’t begin to describe its recoil. I never
met anyone who wanted to try a second shot with it.
It would certainly give me a great deal of comfort
however if I was hunting brown bear in the alders of
coastal Alaska, given that the maker claims 5 – 6 feet of
straight line expansion through muscle and bone. I doubt
I would remember afterward whether it recoiled at all.
Also the 4 rounds left in the magazine to follow up with,
if necessary, at lever action speed would be a real comfort of its own.
This ’86 would be in the same class, and has been for
130 years. It’s been around almost as long as The Great
One, Master Bob Dunlap.

shooting, and introduce someone new to each,

July is not far off and with it come fireworks, parades, barbeques
and the 99th issue of GunTech. Check out what we’ve got lined
up for you! This July GunTech celebrates our country’s birthday
in style as just about everybody gets into the act.
Jack moves over to the Workbench to offer some insightful tips
while Darrell ramps things up with not one but two “Tips for the
Woodsman,” and a product review. John Bush expresses his
First Amendment rights by voicing his opinions about the internet, while naming some great resources for learning about
firearms and their history. Gene showcases what are arguably
the most patriotic pair of 1911 pistols you’ve ever seen, while
Bob and Ken experience a truly explosive aftermath “In the
Classroom.”
If you don’t get too “tied up” with what Darrell has to show you,
you will enjoy more new products from Jack. He shows you how
to keep your cool and your cover while you dig even DEEPER
into more books and DVDs on guns and gunsmithing!
Chiappa 1911-45
Custom
If that isn’t enough to light your fuse, we
conduct this month’s “Firearm Evaluation” on a
truly iconic handgun, the 1911. This time it’s the
new 1911 from Chiappa and when we head to the
range, who better to bring along than Gene Shuey
to help put it through its paces?!
Ruger® New
Vaquero® Revolver
To tie a bow on this American Freedom
issue, Gene interviews a Seal Team leader
who showed true courage and grit on a journey that
none of us would want to take and Ken guides you on a
journey of your own as he takes you through the complete
disassembly and reassembly of an All-American six-shooter, the
Ruger® Vaquero®.
So get your yard work finished in June so you can relax and
celebrate our freedom next month . . . with the July issue of
GunTech!

By Fred Zeglin
Parker Otto Ackley, generally known as P. O. Ackley, is the undisputed
King of Improved cartridges. Ackley was probably not the originator
of fireformed “improved” cartridge designs, but he was definitely the
guy who popularized it, and more importantly P.O. Ackley
standardized the improved cartridge concept. What I mean by
that is he created a simple understandable headspace method
for these designs.
P. O. Ackley
was a tireless
experimenter.
Before we go too far, lets define an “Improved” cartridge. According to Ackley,
“An improved cartridge is a factory cartridge that has been fired in an improved chamber and
thus has its form changed. In other words, a rifle made to handle an improved cartridge for example the
Improved 257 (Roberts), will still handle factory ammunition, but the fireformed cases can be reloaded, or
handloaded, to considerably higher velocities without danger to the shooter.” Measuring Headspace, by P.O. Ackley, Shooting Times, June, 1960
After some trial and error he (Ackley) came to a conclusion as to what degree of body taper was necessary for reliable extraction, and
what shoulder angles worked best. Ackley was personally of the opinion that a shoulder angle of 28 degrees was optimum for
efficiency, accuracy, reliable headspacing, and easy case forming. Even though Ackley preferred the 28 degree shoulder, his clients
wanted the sharper 40 degree shoulder, and at 40 degrees his tools lasted longer than with sharper angles. He knew from
experience that this would not harm accuracy to any important degree, and that it had no real affect on ballistics. It was simply a marketing issue, clients perceived that a sharper shoulder was somehow better.
There seems to be two schools of
thought on Ackley Improved (AI)
cartridges. Either you love them or
you hate them. Sadly those who hate
them are missing out on some great
cartridges that really do serve a useful
purpose. That said, not every AI
cartridge is an “improvement” on the
factory original. If case capacity
increase is too small, say three
percent, the ballistic advantage will be

the most popular of Ackley’s designs. Note
the minimal body taper and the sharper
shoulder on the Ackley.

marginal at best. For this reason Ackley did not recommend
certain AI cases, like the 25-06 Remington or 270 Winchester.
In the case of the 220 Swift AI Ackley was very clear that the
only advantage was better case life.
What makes an AI
cartridge so exciting?
I would suggest that the cartridges which receive the greatest
increase in case capacity are usually the ones that shooters will
appreciate the most. There are two basic reasons to “improve” a
chamber.
1. Improved case life. The sharp shoulder of a 40 degree
improved case prevents case stretch because it’s hard for
brass to flow around the sharp turns of the shoulder.
This is simply a mechanical advantage.
2. Increased case capacity and therefore increased velocity.
The question is often asked, “Why do Ackley Improved
chambers produce velocity out of proportion to the actual
increase in case capacity?” The answer to that would be:
The cartridges that receive the greatest increase in performance
are those that are close to having an efficient case capacity vs.
bore volume. In other words, they are slightly fuel starved.
Think of a firearm as a single piston engine with a disposable
piston (the bullet). Using that analogy then a factory cartridge
would be running lean and an improved design would be
properly tuned to utilize the fuel efficiently. The final step in the
analogy would be to compare an improved cartridge to a
magnum design of the same bore diameter. What you will find is
the magnums burn substantially more powder to gain a
moderate, or in some cases minimal increase in velocity.
The reason for the gains in velocity that are counterintuitive to
many folks are due to the fact that such cases are very near
ideal ratio of fuel to the bore capacity. So, the small increase in
powder produces big changes in velocity because the firearm is
able to convert that added fuel in an efficient manner, as
opposed to a magnum cartridge, which is often over capacity to
the point of being inefficient. Of course I am generalizing here,
but if you study load data the results are pretty steady across the
board.
It is often complained by those who do not like improved cases
that if you fire factory ammo you lose velocity. I never really
understood their point, after all, you're fireforming cases when
you use factory loads in an Ackley chamber. When fireforming,
a portion of the energy in the cartridge is utilized to form the
brass. So, naturally a loss of velocity will be present in this
fireforming situation. Typically this loss of velocity is less than
20% of the expected velocity for the given load. Surprisingly,
many guns with improved chambers will produce very tight
groups when fireforming.
It should be obvious that the increased velocity we receive from
AI chambers becomes available only when we reload the fully
formed brass to take advantage of the increased case capacity.
At this point in the discussion many shooters will try to use
pressure to say that Ackley was a wildly unsafe guy and ran on
the ragged edge of safety. When you really look at the data that
Ackley published, you will find that in most cases the cartridges
people are complaining about are not those that Ackley tested.
Instead the wild data is from other gunsmiths who submitted
data for Ackley’s books.
P.O. subscribed to the tried and true method of determining safe
pressures for any given cartridge. The best test for safe
pressures for any given gun is to
see how many times you can
reload the brass before the primer
pocket enlarges or some other
failure of the brass develops. Even
today it’s generally accepted that if
you can reload your brass six or
seven times without failures then
the loads are safe in that particular
firearm.
In addition, Ackley used the best
ballistic tools he could lay his
hands on. Early on he used a

capacity between the .30/30 Ackley and the
parent .30/30 Winchester is stark.

ballistic pendulum (a mechanical version of a chronograph to
determine velocity), later he used his contacts in the business to
have loads tested over a chronograph and eventually he put
together pressure test equipment so he could know what was
safe.
What is the operating pressure of an Ackley Improved cartridge?
When properly loaded they operate at the same pressure as the
parent cartridge.
I can hear you asking, “Then how do you get more velocity?”
Think it through, why do magnums get more velocity? Because
you’re burning more fuel you’re producing more white hot
expanding gasses which push the projectile down the bore. We
have already discussed the efficiency considerations.
P.O. Ackley wrote, “Whether the hand loader or wildcat
enthusiast is right or wrong, he is interested in several things,
most important of which are increased velocity and whether the
bolt stays in the gun. If he can achieve these two results without
serious complications, he is not overly concerned with the actual
pressure readings in pounds per square inch.” Improved Cartridges,
P.O. Ackley, American Rifleman, October 1954
When Ackley made the above statement he was making the
point that accepted beliefs do not always fall in line with
empirical test results. He was saying
that even if pressures ran higher than
Factory Cartridge
“experts” considered safe, the proof
was in the results i.e., can you safely
reload your brass without undue

I suspect at least part of the reason
that Ackley Improved designs are a bit
of a novelty to young shooters is that
the factories have long adopted Ackley
principles of cartridge design. As
evidence look at cartridges like the
.300 WSM, .300 Remington Ultra
Mag., .26 Nosler and nearly any new
cartridge in the last twenty years. They
all have pretty close to minimum body
taper and relatively sharp shoulders,
design features common to Ackley
Improved cartridges.

Why have the factories been designing new cases more like
Ackley designs? They are simply responding to the market by
offering design concepts that have been proven by the market
place over the last fifty plus years.
This article touches on the basics of chambering for Ackley
Improved cartridges. The author has a new “Gunsmithing
Handbook Series” coming out soon which includes greater detail.
Titles to hit the presses first will be “Chambering for Ackley
Cartridges,” “Understanding Headspace,” and “Chambering Rifle
Barrels for Accuracy” with others to follow. These booklets are an
in-depth study of each subject with an eye toward teaching
anyone how to be successful with the material covered.
Watch for these new booklets.

great spring (“weather” you’re a dad or not) . . .
Welcome to June and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads. I can’t
believe the weather we are continuing to have. There were a
couple days where it got pretty warm but then we went back to
a very cool spring! I feel for the areas of the country that have
been hard hit by tornados, floods, and fires. I pray that none of
my fellow GCA members have been adversely affected by any of
these severe events.
speaking of dad’s . . .
I was thinking about my daughter, as fathers do, mulling over the
things I was proud and glad to have taught her and shared with
her as well as the things that I wished I had been able to do with
her when she was younger. Because I love shooting, and it was
on my mind, I reflected back on the first time I showed her how
to shoot. We were visiting my brother for Easter. He lived in a
development that was out in the country, so just a few minutes
on a dirt road and you were alongside a green field with rolling
hills and a few trees.
first time for
everything! . . .
Her cousins had never
shot a gun before either.
Their ages at the time
ranged from 14 to 10. I
had brought my S&W 422
pistol with me as well as
my Ruger® 10/22® rifle.
where were we heading? . . .
I didn’t want to introduce them to any kind of regimented
shooting where technique or accuracy was very important. I just
wanted to show them that shooting was just plain fun. I knew
my daughter was never going to be into it and, although I didn’t
know for certain about her cousins, I wanted them to have the
same casual, fun introduction to shooting that my brother and I
had. I didn’t want them to grow up with a fear of guns or other
common misconceptions. I wanted them to respect and appreciate them for what they are: tools . . . for fun, food and
protection.
why did we go here? . . .
I wanted to share this because I’m sure many of you had similar
experiences you are fond of and although my daughter and her
cousin Shelley didn’t develop an interest in shooting, as I
suspected, they don’t have a negative image of it either. It is
something they enjoyed. Of course, Ryan was a different story,
he had a definite interest in all things mechanical (and also that
go “bang”) so this was his introduction to shooting. He became
an airline pilot and now owns many guns of all types. I’m just
glad I took advantage of that opportunity and have that fond
memory.
looking forward . . .
I am quite excited about next month! I have lots of great
segments lined up for the July Freedom Edition of GunTech. You
will get to experience some pretty darn neat stuff - GUN stuff of
course! In just a couple days Gene, Jack and I will have made
another trip to the range to test more evaluation guns. If this
cool spring continues we will be able to really enjoy our test
session. This time we are evaluating an unusual shotgun, some
remakes of old classics and a new youth rifle that could also be
your go-to backpacker .22.
Chiappa “Little Badger”
folding single shot rifle
My 422 & 3 kids worth
of magazines
and so it began . . .
We crawled through the barbed wire to set up a target and
some tin cans and we were ready. Her youngest cousin, Ryan,
went first, followed by my daughter and then the eldest, Shelley.
After only a few rounds through the rifle each had lost their
worries about loud noises and recoil and were getting into trying
to be more accurate. At that point we switched to the pistol and
they enjoyed the louder sound and the motion or recoil although
hitting the target became more problematic!
all good things . . .
As I come to the end of this month’s column I want to
encourage the new dads to consider introducing your kids to
shooting in a relaxed, fun format away from the local firing range
(if possible) where it can be all about the camaraderie and the
fun of casual plinking, like it was for many of us. That way,
whether they develop a more serious interest or not, they still
have those golden memories where shooting at a tin can for the
first time was just plain fun, and no one was worried about your
trigger control. Of course, you have those golden memories too.
May each of you have a great start to summer as the month of
June comes to a close and I’ll see you next month . . .
in GunTech!

The definition of the word "superposed," is to place something on
or above something else so that they coincide. In the case of John
Browning's shotgun design, which he began designing around
1922, it was shotgun barrels! The Browning Superposed shotgun
came out in 1931 and it was the first commercially successful
over/under shotgun. Unfortunately, John Browning died in 1926,
during a visit to the Fabrique Nationale factory in Belgium, so he did
not live to see its success.
The Superposed is actually the last design of Browning’s to be
manufactured. John's son Val continued to work on the
single selective trigger and the inertia block system as well as the
quest to get the innovative Superposed shotgun manufactured.
It was not an easy task to find a company to produce the
Superposed as these firearms were not easy to manufacture. A few
American companies showed no interest and Fabrique Nationale
turned down the offer several times before a contract was agreed
upon.
The first order was for 10,000 shotguns and they were available in
four grades; Standard, Pigeon, Diana, and Midas. These were all

chambered in 12 gauge, had automatic ejectors and were available
with such options as; double triggers (standard), single selective
trigger, the Twin-Single, and a single nonselective trigger. You could
also get a ventilated rib or a raised matted solid rib. There were
three stock configurations to choose from; Field, Trap, or Monte
Carlo.
The Superposed was first manufactured from 1931- 1940 and
production stopped during World War II. The Post War production
ran from 1948-1986. What many folks don't realize is that Browning
still builds the Superposed out of their Custom Shop in Liege,
Belgium! These are gorgeous handcrafted/fitted shotguns that are
available with the most beautiful wood and astounding engraving.
When field stripping this gun, the forend comes off with the barrels.
All you have to do is pull down the forend latch and slide the forend
forward. Next, release the top lever, break open the action, and the
barrels will come apart from the hinge pin in the receiver.
When the gun is fired, it recoils. The gun stops but the inertia block
is moving as fast as the gun was. The inertia block is spring loaded
and it continues to move rearward. The sear that was being held up
drops. When you let go of the trigger, the gun is coming forward,

and is shown on the right. Note the safe notch at bottom of hammer, over stamped “5”.
recovering from recoil and you re-pull the trigger. When you let go
of the trigger, it picks up the sear tail and fires the second barrel
when the trigger is pulled again. Without recoil, the gun (inertia
block) does not set up for the next shot.
If the full cock notch or the sear has negative engagement, through
wear or a bad trigger job, the Superposed will not double on you
because the hammer will fall into the safe notch. The next pull may
be extremely heavy (coming out of the safe notch) and will most
likely misfire as the hammer will not have enough energy when
falling from the safe notch. The engagement surfaces should be
recut/filed to be slightly positive. The sear tails must be cut/filed on
the same plane or the trigger movement will not feel the same for
each trigger.
If you find a shooter that is having problems with doubling when
shooting the Superposed, the shooter is probably beating the inertia
block (the gun reconnects before the gun comes forward after
recoil). To correct this you have to make the inertia block stay
rearward longer. This can be achieved by lightening the inertia block
spring using a punch and a belt sander to thin the spring. This will
allow you to take off an even amount of material from the entire
spring, thus making the spring weaker. The inertia block will not
return as fast.
You could also add weight to the inertia block (moves back faster
and stays back longer), thus not reconnecting as fast. The last trick
would be to remove material in the receiver, directly behind the
inertia block, giving the inertia block a farther distance to travel, thus
taking longer to reconnect. So, weaker spring, more weight, or more
travel.
This shotgun utilizes a single selective trigger, meaning you have the
choice of which barrel fires first. The manual tang safety is also the
barrel selector. If the selector is pushed to the right, the lower barrel
fires first. If the selector is pushed to the left the upper barrel will fire
first. Moving the safety selector forward will take the gun OFF safe
and it will be ready to fire.
The Superposed has been chambered in 12, 20, 28 and .410
gauges and over a quarter of a million of these shotguns have been
manufactured over its many years of production. The shotgun can
even be ordered in 16 gauge! If you want a custom Superposed,
you better get your order in because there is usually about a two
year wait!
The Superposed is still the King of double guns and reliability, even
when compared with other innovative shotgun designs. This is a
quality shotgun that can be handed down for generations. To learn

Good Heavens! 45 of you entered and every last
one of you had the correct answer. Incredible!
Actual size is
approximately 3” long
This is the highest response ever and only the
second time that ALL had the correct answer.
Wow! I’m really impressed, unless I gave the
store away with the hint. You are obviously way too well known, Mr. Longueira.
An equally incredible 20 of you correctly attributed the design to Bill Ruger Sr., with a nod towards its
Japanese Nambu influence. Dang you’re smart! Unfortunately this also means that I’ll be back in the
fiscal doghouse for the cavalier manner in which I’ve enabled the plunder of the Kelly ancestral billfold.
Sometimes it seems I spend more time in front of the desk than behind it. Sigh.
OK, this month’s parts are not YET well known, but should be a slam dunk for GunTech viewers.
Only been around for a couple of years. They are part of a pretty revolutionary system in today’s
world. No “Dang You’re Smart!” Prizes this month because:
A. I really need this job to feed my wife, dog, and spare tire, and
B. I have no clue who designed it.
This month we’ll take the last before publication, first, “Guy in the Middle”, and eighth correct
answers for the first three prizes and Honorable Mention. We may add a few more
Third Prizes if we get an unexpectedly large number of correct answers.
You can call me with the answer ONLY if:
1.
You do not have email access.
2.
3.
You call (800) 797-0867, ext.104 between 0800 - 1700 PST Monday - Friday.
If you get my voicemail, you leave your name, phone number, and guess.
The voicemail time stamps, so be CLEAR with the info.

Dumb
Statement
of the Month Winner . . .
NOBODY! HA!
To Thomas, you are right, on both counts. If it wasn’t Darrell it would be
an unforced error. Nobody caught those of us allowed fallibility in an error
again this month. Jack is almost certainly perfect this month, and Ken
and Keith . . . well, seriously?? As I said, Gene, Bob, Darrell and Mz. Lenée are
normally exempted from the ignominy they and AGI/GCA would suffer in the
extraordinarily miniscule possibility that they would actually err.
Good luck to all of you in your search this month.
Remember, it’s worth $40 to catch one of us, at least if I agree.
Remember we’re not talking opinions here, opinions are like noses, everyone is
entitled to one. By “Dumb Statement” we mean a real, unnoticed and uncorrected
erroneous statement, i.e. saying hammer instead of striker, Colt instead of Smith &
Wesson, D/R instead of Bench & Field. Don’t despair, keep looking and listening.
