Just found this this morning and think this is one of the few threads I've ever read front to back. Very interesting! I have nothing to add except it may also be the first thread without someone peeing on another's shoes, stone throwing, and name calling, just a little polite differences in perceptions here and there.
And thanks to Thangle for a granddaughter's view.

JM, I cross referenced this thread about Col. Charley Askins on www.shotgunworld.com, Browning forum, 1933 Superposed thread. There was a lot of interest on that post about the Askins family in reference to the Colonel's father, Major Charles Askins, Sr.'s pre-war Superposed Browning. DF Post a photo of that Browning Superposed. If I recall, you did some restoration/stock work to it. Beautiful shotgun. Bob

Charlie claimed to have been the first to have tested the .338 Win mag. He took it on safari and shot over 30 animals with the cartridge. When he got back he expected Winchester to want a detailed report on the performance of the new round. Instead all they wanted to know was if they should keep the belt? Charlie loved belted magnums so he was all for keeping it.

I searched and came up empty I'll try again. Do you remembered the year?
THIS IS THAT THREAD. The quote that Jorge put up was from an older thread where Ken howellderided Askins is what I am searching for. HOLY F*ING CHRIST. THIS IS THAT THREAD. Go to page one, you see it started a LONG time ago. Pardon me for interrupting, but would this happen to be THAT thread? Just curious...

All this leaves me wondering
Where's the orgasmic, obsessive satisfaction in deifying or demonizing someone whom you've never met and really know nothing about?
just curious
and puzzled It is clinically interesting to observe antithetical moral-high-horsemanship jousting, don't you think, Ken? When does moral ascension become condescension? Gem of the entire thread here...
