My strongest memory of him was at an OGCA show probably 12 years ago. He was discussing an obscure M70 rifle or carbine for which the records showed only about 7 had been produced. He said he was going to the Las Vegas show the following week, and that there would be 12 or so of therm there for sale. Such is the counterfeiting world. I'm sure it's only gotten worse

I talked last week with a gent who was offered a full case (20 boxes) of those Remington Express plastic 10 ga/2-7/8" shells with 4-shot for $600. He only wanted a few boxes and he passed. Last I saw they were going for 30-40 bucks a box and that's what I told him. Of course they use the old Rem 57 primer and the hulls aren't compatible with 209's. Any recent updates on that retail box pricing?

Regarding 57 primers there is a trick I got from the reloading forum.Remove the 57 in the usual way then seat a FIRED 209, remove it and seat a new 209. Have done that with early 60's Remington plastic 16 ga. and it works well so 57 primed hulls are usable.
