I am trying to find the American Rifleman issue from back around the 1980s that featured an article on a guy who had dozens of rifles stocked in all different kinds of exotic woods -and the pictures were really beautiful. Any of you knowledgeable longtime NRA members have a stack of all the back issues and can find that one. Please let me know what issue it is if you find it. By the way, I also posted this question in the General Discussion forum as well. I appreciate your help on this.

I may have it if you can give me more information.

I wish I could give you more information, but that's all I remember. I wish I knew the year, but it could be anytime from 1981 through 1996, although probably somewhere in the middle of that range. If I still had my stack I would just go through them one at a time. If you love beautiful wood gunstocks you would probably remember the article and pictures. I appreciate any help you can give me. BTW I am also from the keystone state.

I remember an article - Seems they were all .300 Magnums!

PS: Try page 26 in May 1986

MM---,

Is that you were looking for?

Ray,

Thanks very much for the info. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I was out of town for the past few days. This sounds like the article I was looking for. Thanks again.

Bob or Frank or others:

If anyone can scan this article and email it to me, that would be great, even if it's in B&W it would be OK.
If someone would be willing to make a color copy of the article and send it to me via snail mail that would be good too. If anyone would be interested on doing so, I can email you my address and upon receipt of the article I can mail you a check to cover your time and expenses. Please let me know if you can help me out by either method. I really appreciate the responses. This forum has a bunch of great guys! Thank you all.

Do you ever get down to Trop Gun Shop in Elizabethtown? I work there part time. It may be possible to bring in the magazine and copy the article there for you. Let me know.

Bob,
Yeah, I usually stop in at the Trop about once a month. I was kinda waiting to see if they have their usual sale in early April. I even picked up an employment application a while back to look into part time work. I can probably get there thursday or friday this week. I would appreciate your help.
