Hurricane,
On several of your listings, you didn't put carriage returns between your pictures so they extend about 6 feet across the screen instead of being stacked vertically.

WOW!   :o  Heck of a Christmas present, thanks!!!  I'm looking at the Beck now, taking forever to open all the pics on dial-up, almost can't wait to get to work so I've got a faster connection to look at the rest of 'em.

I spent a good part of yesterday morning studying most of the rifles, and I must say, it is a fantastic resource.  I am most grateful for the generosity and dedication your guys have provided.  For those of us who do not have access to originals, this is definitely the next best thing.

Thanks very much.

Is this not the best present you got this year!

Builders, According to Hurricane, Shumway style dimensions will be added if available to each gun in the library.  And won't that be a tremendous help!

Thanks Again............................Lynn

Nord and I want to thank everyone for the warm reception of the Museum and Library concept. Visit frequently as we will be adding guns regularly. We welcome any suggestions ( parifles@earthlink.net) an d comments. Just reply to any "museum" thread.  We particularly would ask that you send us pictures and descriptions of any antique longrifle you have or to encourage  friends to do so. All guns will be presented anonymously. Just attach pictures to an email, again to parifles@eartlink.net
Thanks again
Happy New Year!
Hurricane

Hurricane, Nord and Dennis,
Short of holding the originals in our hands, there is nothing better than good digital photos.  You guys are to be commended for this great resource.  Thank you
