Great work. Clicked through a few links, all I checked were good except Chris’ Tales under Branding Crew. I searched my servers and found the Drupal archive but There is also a HTML format somewhere. Chris's Tales | Elmer Keith Members Area

Also please add Memorial and 1939-2025 under the title when you get a chance.

You have really done great work, @albroswift It took real dedication ot keep this going. I remember always reading Taffin’s column about (mostly) sixguns. I learned names of great gunsmiths who could make a nice gun absolutely beautiful. Indeed, I got one of those names to convert a Ruger Blackhawk from .357 Mag to .44 Spl. - Andy Horvath. Did a beautiful job on it.

Pictures or it didn’t happen!

A while back the 357 to 44 special conversion was kind of common and well worth the money, a lot of great sixguns came out of that era.

I’m noticing on The Big Slide Show the added banner is blocking the text and the advance / back arrows. Put it on the list, I’m sure you have a long one!

How to go about uploading a .pps file? 1999-2003 format.

A . pps file is a PowerPoint 1999–2003 slideshow.

Try attaching it with the paperclip in the post composer; if the forum rejects that file type, put it in a ZIP archive and upload the . zip instead.

For long-term preservation, I’d also export a PDF copy. The old `.

pps` format can be difficult to open on current systems.

Oh, yeah! Those non-blued aluminum parts are kool. I had Andy put in steel parts for that since my experience with old Blackhawks was that the aluminum frame work wore the finishes off rather quickly.
