The Kentucky Rifle and The Digital Age: Well worth your time
« on: October 19, 2013, 06:25:27 PM »
I am proud to know Curt and certainly this presentation is exactly what we need to do to promote Kentucky Rifle education and collecting. It is well worth your 30 minutes. Thanks Curt! I hope others will find a way to follow!

Curt,  I can't thank you enough for this presentation.  I asked my wife to watch
 it with me and
she now finally understands that my obsession is only minor league.  But seriously,
that was very well done and more of that is needed. 
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Curt, Thanks for sharing your collection with all of us, and the work you do to promote longrifles.  Having that interview on You Tube is also a great way to make it acessable to folks that may be inspired by what you do and spark an interest in them.

It's great to see Curt's wonderful collection. Hopefully, it will help persuade my bride that I am acrtually conservative in my collecting!

I wish more TV stations were interested in such material.  Thanks for posting this.

Excellent in so many ways. As previsously stated more of these need to be done.
The fact that IL makers were still producing MLs in the 20th c may surprise some but it illustrates that the American ML rifle never really passed from use. The hung on even more in parts of Tenn and KY where hunting with MLs and ML beef and turkey matches never completely died out.

Thanks so much for putting this on youtube.

Wow! Thanks so much, everyone.  I believe that any time we, get an opportunity to promote interest in longrifles, we should jump on it. If it is "outside of the box", that's even better.

Well done Curt.  Your presentation could not have been better.  I'm sure the mention of all the small towns got the attention of many people. Thanks, Jack
