Navy Barrels/Sarco ad in 10 Sept SGN

[sheepherder]

Someone here was looking for 5" Luger "Navy" barrels...Sarco has this ad in SGN (below)...

First repros I've seen with the high sight base...Reasonable price...Worth a try...(if you have the $$$, which I don't)...

It's on pg 65 of the 10 Sept/Subscriber issue SGN...(not the same as the newsstand issue)...

I just received my first issue after not subscribing since April 20 1996 (I still have that last issue)...Entire issue is physically smaller and font is so small I now need to read it with a magnifying glass...

Only 96 pages compared to the 1996's 180 pages...

I can recall when Sarco/Golden Ent ads had amusing cartoon caricatures of German/English etc soldiers holding/firing the items that were being advertised...Funny stuff...and pretty good quality line drawings...

Check the twist rate! There were some out there with a 1:16 rate, not the luger 1:8.

I think when Gun List came out with their alphabetical listings it sounded the death knell for Shotgun News. Now Gun List is Gun Digest, a combo of classifieds and gun articles. I used to be an avid reader and subscriber of SN when I had time to read everything in it, but later went to GL due to the convenience. I haven't seen a SN in years!

The local supermarket/convenience stores carry SGN, but not Gun Digest. I don't remember ever seeing Gun Digest anywhere around here...(Never even heard of it)...
