They moved to Cleveland and eventually Cleveland got it shut down but lost the lawsuit against the closure. Sure would be nice if the OGCA moved back closer to upstate NY. |

The OGCA still do great shows in Wilmington. You should try to make a few. I try to set up for 3 or 4 a year. Very knowledgeable dealers and attendees and lots of good guns. Not as big as Columbus was but still worth a trip.

The DGJ also had an option to get your copy early. In addition Orvis mailed a listing of the guns the had for sale. They both had guns you would never see in Idaho.

I remember snagging a couple of deals off of the DGJ ads. You have to be quick and decisive, because often, when you're mumbling and murmuring about the price, another buyer is doing the same thing.

Since there were no photos on the old Shotgun News and Gun List, sellers had to write the description of the guns. This lead to some VERY creative writing. Having been on both sides of that I have to laugh at some of the things I read and wrote.

John, you wrote good descriptions "back then," and caused us to ride to Nashville to purchase three guns from you (before the internet). BTW, I still have those guns and have enjoyed them greatly for many years.
