ARE WE MISSING SOMEONE HERE....

[Terry Murbach]

IT SEEMS I HAVE NOT SEEN A POST FROM ADIRONDACK JACK SINCE MOSES WAS A CORPORAL. I'VE ALWAYS LIKED HIS STUFF BECAUSE HE WAS ONE SHARP COOKIE.
ARE YOU OKAY A.J.?

[Sixgun]

Terry,
Smart people tend to get bored easily, so they move on to brighter pastures. That's why you and me are still here. ----------------------Sixgun

[Blaine]

I'd go elsewhere, but, you poor, pitiful, Waifs need me

[olyinaz]

There are a couple missing. Does anyone know what's up with old Doc OJ? Or have I just missed his posts?

I think I've seen AJ elsewhere. Not sure on OJ. Need to look him up.

[Hobie]

Can't find an obit on Dr. O J King, that's good news!

As to Adirondack Jack...

To our loyal customers:
After six years, Adirondack Jack has decided to pull down the shingle at the Trading Post
and pursue other interests.
Once a doc said the three words none of us wants to hear, "You have cancer", the desire to
travel, fish, and otherwise "live while yer alive" has taken center stage. The cancer is in
remission at this time, but financially the house is a wreck, and the desire to put in the time
and monetary investment to continue the "Trading Post" is simply not there.

We had a buyer wanting to take over operation, insuring continued availability of our
proprietary cartridge, but the recent re-election of the left wing regime has frankly caused
the buyer to pull his horns in, cancelling several new projects and acquisitions, this one
among them.

I find this a sad state of affairs, where the "antis" win by default, and it makes me ill to
think of it.

What I need is a buyer who believes in AMERICA and American exceptionalism as much as I
always have.

When the Cowboy .45 Special was introduced, there were many "in the know" who said it
would never get past the first run of 50,000 cases. We sold over half a million of em.

When for two years we tried to get the best minds in the CAS community to make a carrier
that would run the C45S in a winchester '66 or '73 clone, it was deemed impossible.
Frustrated, we answered, "impossible? We're Americans. The impossible is what we do."
A fine gunsmith and engineer was convinced to produce a design drawn up by Adirondack
Jack. It was a running prototype in 5 hours, and the design frozen for production in less
than a week. We've sold hundreds of the "Cowboy Carriers" since.

When Jack drew up an ultra-light 130 grain hollow-based .45 bullet, and had a single cavity
hand cast mold made, the bullet shot very well at levels to rival the "mouse fanny burp" .38s,
eliminating the caliber advantage once and for all. For at least three years various bullet
and mold makers all said "It can't be done on a production basis.
We purchased a Magma Master Caster, and then heard "it can't handle a three piece mold.
Never happen" Jack's response was "We're Americans, we went to goddammed moon.
Don't tell me we can't teach the Master Caster to operate an "automatic" three piece mold.
Together with a fine mold modifier, Jack got his automatic three piece mold made and cast
and sold 150,000 bullets, pumping em out two at a time. The same technology worked out
over the phone with the mold man is now being used for hundreds of hollow POINT bullet
molds, including in fully automatic machines. The point is in MY AMERICA, "impossible"
simply means "takes a little longer." To think the continued existence of this enterprise is
threatened by (what I consider) irrational fears of what the "lefties" MIGHT do, dashing a
business deal the morning after a presidential election, costing me dearly, I cannot, will not,
must not accept that.

But the inventory is gone, the money gone to the docs and such, and now the future of the
cartridge, as of last week well and truly assured, is now in doubt.

If ya'll believe in the product, talk to your entrepreneur friends. WE NEED A BUYER with the
belief in MY America, and the AMERICAN people who will never let anybody take our guns.

Meanwhile I'm going fishing

Thanks for posting that Hobie, like Terry I had wondered why we had seen no posts.

[olyinaz]

Can't find an obit on Dr. O J King, that's good news!

Yes indeed! I hope he's well.

And the story from AJ is pretty frustrating. You'd think that someone like Dillon Precision would be very interested in this line of products!

[Terry Murbach]

OH MY, I HAD NO IDEA. IF I WERE NOT AN OLD GEEZER I'D BUY IT MYSELF, THOUGH I AM NO BUSINESS MAN BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. I LEARNED THE LATTER WHEN I WAS A MERE LAD OF 35. I ALSO LEARNED AT 35 THAT NOT ALL FOLKS WERE GUN OWNERS; IT STILL FLABBERGASTS THE SHIQ OUTTA ME !!

Too bad about the cancer and the business, but I am glad he is still alive. Now, what about Doc, the one who was collecting recipes to put out a book on our favorite recipes? What happened to him?

[Pitchy]

He!! of a world huh?

[Griff]

AJ hangs out over on the SASS Wire from time to time. He's found a buyer for the business and the new owners have their initial order in to Starline. New owners are in TEXAS. I'll try to hunt up their website.

Last we spoke, AJ was doin' good.

Another I miss is Doc Hudson.

[Hobie]

Doc moved to take care of his mother after his wife, the "real" doctor left him. Last I heard a couple of months ago he's doing well.

[piller]

That is who I was asking about. I couldn't remember Hudson, just the Doc part.

Naah... Until it came time to teach them how to light an immersion heater, I left the cooklings alone.

It's the Rads that kept me PRP thin... and gave me enough time to hone up on my quarterstaff skills to the point that I ruled the pugil-stick arena...

That was so funny....still laughing. Many good men we've lost...not all were valued as they should have been, but they are in Good Hands now.
