Stumbled on this and thought I would share. Cool to hear the stories from the old master himself as I have remember reading some of these incidents in his stories. Hopefully links work. I had to switch to WAV to play on PC. https://www.loc.gov/item/afccal000166/https://www.loc.gov/item/afccal000167/Regards, Lou

Thanks for sharing that. Some incredible history preserved there, and I'm quite happy that my tax dollars help fund it. A very matter of fact, no bullshit generation that we'll likely never see again. If a young person nowadays witnessed some of the things he recounted, they'd be in therapy for life, suffering from some syndrome or such.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, thanks for posting.
I saw Elmer at the 1970 NRA Convention in New Orleans. He came into the Ruger booth where Mr. Vogel was, examined the then new Security Six. I remember him sighting down the barrel, teling Mr. Vogel to "wrap it up", in essence they could produce it with his blessing. Mr. Vogel was most gracious to Elmer.
I learned later that Mr. Vogel was Bill Rugers SIL, a very nice gentleman. I visited with him, told him about my brother's .41 Blackhawk. Bro was loading Unique, double charged a load whch spit the cylinder, no damage to the frame. He sent it to Ruger, explaining what had happened, bragging on how strong the frame was. Ruger rebuilt that gun, no charge. Mr. Vogel said he remembered that, first time someone hadn't blamed Ruger. That gun to this day is about the smoothest, slickest Ruger Blackhawk I've ever handled. Bro still has it, it's a keeper.

Oh my Lou! I haven't heard that voice since May 24, 1977 at Unicam in Dallas. What a treat this has been! Thank you very much for posting as it has brought back a flood of memories.

I never cared much for the man though he was a marketing genius.

Those were great recordings. Too bad there weren't more about the outdoors, made by average Joes as well. I was glad to hear that the Chinks were honest. Times change. What used to be politically correct, ain't no longer. I'm quite sure if a youngster (a snowflake) was to hear those recordings, they would demand their destruction.

Read his books and never get tired of reading them over again. He was so descriptive in his writings and I can now hear it in these recordings. Wish these new generation outdoor writers could write like Keith, O'Connor, Askins etc. You can actually visualize the scenes in your mind as you read their stories.
Thanks for sharing
MAGA! This is the way!

I have that. The quality is poor and at times you have to really mess with your settings to make out the dialogue but I thoroughly enjoy listening to it. I will definitely check out the OP's links when I get home. Thanks! P.S. any movie recordings of Elmer out there?
