Title: Southern Longrifles Video
Post by: david64 on July 25, 2008, 01:22:48 AM

If I remember correctly there was a post on the old ALR board about a video and/or DVD on either Tennessee and/or Southern Longrifles.
Anybody else know what I am talking about? If so, where could one get a copy of that?   ???

David,
I brought the post over from the old board.  Look on page two in the For Sale section.  Great DVD by the way.  His number - (520) 298-3004.

You are welcome.  Mr. McKnight is supposed to be at the CLA show with a couple of the rifles he still owns.

Ray McKnight said that if there is enough interest in what he has done, he will consider producing a second DVD on Southern longrifles. He still has enough pieces to complete the task.

Hi Dick.  Thanks for posting that info.  I'm in for sure.  Any idea how many he need to sell to justify his time?
How's he doing on the DVD remake by the way?

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken-Not too sure how many he would need to sell of the exisiting CD to underwrite the cost of the second one. Call him if you wish; he will likely be pleased to talk with you. I would certainly buy one. I hope that everyone who logs on here buys one (or both?).
Let me know if you need info on contacting him. Thanks.
Dick
