August 2013 issue of Shotgun News

Hi Alvin! Just a little bit of Shotgun News trivia...

There are at least three different monthly issues of Shotgun News...

1. The newsstand edition, which you have shown. Glossy cover. Comes out once a month.

2. The monthly subscription edition (which I get). Newsprint cover. Once a month.

3. The tri-monthly subscription edition (for want of a better term) - Comes out three times a month. Newsprint cover.

Not all editions have the same articles. Fr'instance, my edition does not have the C96 article. Jam packed with pro-gun editorials however.

For serious collectors, the 'tri-monthly' subscription edition is the one to have. I'm not serious, and my local supermarket does not carry glossy monthly edition.

Some articles are available online. I will have to check in a month or so and see if the C96 article is...

Online back-issue articles do not have pictures; just text...

Edit: I usually drop the current edition off at my local gun club...But for some odd reason, the April 20, 1996 issue is still in my bookcase...Yellowed with age...Lemme check if any C96 for sale...

Edit2: Sarco has/had Mauser Bolo for $175...Luger P08 for $275...

Edit3: I attached subscription form if anyone is interested...

I subscribe to the three/month subscription of Shotgun News and have for way more years than I can remember. I have not yet read the edition on the Broomhandle Mausers , but look forward to it. Some of Kokalis's articles are pretty good, and some.....well I will stop there.
