Here's an open letter to the moderators.
I tried to email va-gunnut, but see it came to me. Evidentally I could not email the "system" that locked the thread;
"Thank you for locking the thread.
Feel free to ask me any question you like if you want to determine what I'm up to.
I assure you the thread was no troll.
If you'd like to see the results of my research as it unfolds, I'd be glad to provide it to the forum. I'm getting some interesting information from Finnish sources some of which I already posted, and hope to from Russian sources soon also.
Maybe this forum is not the place for this information?
If you'd rather I just left, well, just say the word.
For myself, I don't worship any of these rifles, but am fascinated by all.
At this point I'm pretty soured on the forum, I must say, but that is probably obvious.
Best."
PS: Let the feeding frenzy begin. LOL.
