Apology re Keith's "Big Fifty" article

Post by airedaleman »

To everyone who requested a copy of the subject article from the June 1940 American Rifleman, I want to offer an apology for not having gotten your copy out yet. Response was significant, and I had to make more copies, get more stamps and envelopes, etc. Please be patient. They'll be in the mail this week, and I will answer each PM. Hope you folks find the article
as interesting as I did.

airedaleman,

I'm in no great hurry. Matter of fact if it would help, I'll send you an SASE. Just PM or Email me your snail mail addy.

No worries, sir! With my own concerns to face here at home lately, I have thought little about it. My offer to send you a donation for expenses and effort still stands.

Thanks for your generous offer! I doubt anyone here will think less of you for taking a little time to get it done!

I'm not trying to be a smarta$$ but wouldn't it be easier to scan it into a .PDF file and post a link? That would make it available to anyone on the board and save a bunch of SASE costs.

Sir, I have every capability to convert said article to PDF for everyone's perusal.

Please save yourself the expense and forward just one clean copy to me and I will either return to you the PDF for disbursal or email it to all concerned myself.

OI, I offered to do this in the first post and when it arrives, I will do that for the forum members. My thoughts were to post it and everyone could down load it and would not need to have it mailed to everyone.

Thanks to all for the offers of assistance, and compensation! All the copies are on their way to those who requested them, and a fair (unfolded) copy is en route to rjohns94 for scanning. Hope everyone enjoys a nearly 70-year-old report...
