Japanese Luger Story in AutoMag...

Pete Ebbink · 09-04-2003, 10:57 PM

Hello Aaron,

I joined NAPCA a little over a year ago myself and initially my impression of AutoMag was similar to yours.

But I then realized that there are some very knowledgable, older collectors that are willing to help newcomers who simply chose not to enter the computer-age. If you decide to stop receiving the paper-only AutoMag, you stand the risk of not benefiting from such folks...especially since these folks are equally "expert" as those who have joined the WWW-based gun-collecting community.

I have met several NAPCA folks that barely get by on typewriters...and have no need of PC's, but are a treasure-trove of info. about lugers and other pistols. Several are lucky enough to live nearby so I can visit them in person...or at various gun shows.

Also; after spending most of my adult life with PC's, I really enjoy sitting on the sofa next to my wife while she reads and I can enjoy the monthly AutoMag...

Just my 2 cents...on the matter...sorry this Japanese luger discussion went a bit <img border="0" alt="[offtopic]" title="" src="graemlins/offtopic.gif" />

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
