SAD NEWS INDEED :(
« on: September 03, 2019, 10:22:17 AM »

Sad News.  THE OPEN RANGE is being taken down.  Not just closed to posting (several years ago) but fully "Pouf" into the Ether gone

So if there is a reference there you wish to preserve, I strongly suggest you find it, and copy it NOW.  For me the real biggie is Larsen E. Pettifogger's pages on setting up Open Top pistols.  Classic stuff that.  Should be printed and bound in tooled leather.

Uh oh.  I'd better start copying.  Do you know the time frame?

For others, here is a link to the Open Range forum: http://www.theopenrange.net/forum/index.php

I think Hedly Lamar said September 30 was the last day.

Dang! I never herd of the Open Range web site and now it's done for. Looks like a place I would have thoroughly enjoyed. We get too soon old, and too late smart.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those links will vanish along with The Open Range.  Download and save the documents while you can.
