No.. he did not say longer receivers had been mentioned here, he said longer receivers were "a rumor that was on this forum many times."

Having folks who pop in and mention longer receivers once or twice a year and be corrected immediately doesn't make it a rumor that's being propagated by this site.

You know, this has been kind of fun but it's getting counter productive. Since Gunplummer is brighter than anybody and everybody on here and wants to continue to go his way where A serial numbered rifles were made in the 50's and there are tens of thousands of V threaded premil 243's/308's/358's out there, then God Bless him.
