Gentlemen All:: - The digitized recording that Chuck is doing is for secure record-keeping only in the case that our copies of the books become damaged or destroyed. They will never be made available in any form other than a PGCA Reseach Letter.

Research Letters are the PGCA's primary source of operating revenue and the only data we have for the Research Letters is taken entirely from these records.

It's great to have the records backed up electronically. Natural disasters do occur. Paper wears and ink fades. There is no guarantee that if these records or part of the records were destroyed Remington would ever let the records be copied again. A great proactive move.
If even one copy was sold, before you wold know it would be on the Internet.

Some collectors may desire a pdf of the actual record in addition to a Parker letter. Maybe this could be considered with an additional fee. Craig

Has the BOD considered offering to purchase the Parker order/production books currently held by the Delgregos? I think they have 2 or 3. Perhaps $2000 per book could jar them loose and the money spent recovered from additional letters or a special fund raiser. I would be willing to contribute.

Bill, I know there have been many attempts made but that's something that others in the PGCA are involved in. I stay out of it!

I know of a couple more out there too! would be nice if we could bring these "home" Gary

Or just get copies of them...

Well the disk would be desirable, but somehow it sure wouldn't replace the letter from Chuck, which in my opinion truly adds to the value of a gun.:bowdown:

Nice to know the records will be preserved, but I suggest, and you may already be doing this, backing them up on an external hard drive.:)

Yes Keavin, backups are being done outside of the hard drive. External storage is cheap these days.
