Greg, thanks for the information. My first time viewing it. I am lucky enough to live close to Babe and Larry and have had the pleasure of knowing them for many years.

Definitely a place you want to put on your go to list, hats off to the family for keeping a dying art going in a world where guns are seen as bad by a lot of people, Gary

Right Gary - and especially in New York.

Does the PGCA also have a copy of the order book(s) that is shown in the video?

The PGCA has copies of the order books and stock books that were housed at Remington Arms in the late 90's when a team of PGCA members spent a week copying them with Remington's permission. At that time, and even now, many of the books were not available. Several are in the the posession of the Del Grego family and others are elsewhere. We do not know where all of the others are and it would be pure speculation to suggest someone who may have them. We are extremely fortunate that Remington allowed the PGCA access to those old books.

PM sent Keavin.

Short answer - "Yes, of course."

I cannot understand why anyone in possession of these historic books would not allow PGCA to copy them for research purposes. Does DelGrego at least provide research for the serial numbers covered in their books?
