Looks like a nice place to stay a spell.By setting up this way station for the H&R fans you've already made it feel like home  :grin:

Thank you for setting up this site for us H+R/NEF refugees. It is greatly appreciated. I'm sure we all feel abandoned and homeless because of the actions taken by the administration of H+R/NEF. We have all made good friends there and shared hours of time together, it was like losing family.

Thanks for the welcome Mrs GB.

So far I have really enjoyed this site, and I think it has become my new "first log on" site since the H&R site was taken down.

Thank you for giving us refugees a place to come.

Thanks to you for your kind welcome.

It has been amazing for me to belong to this online community, and now to see that it really is a community that can survive an upheaval like unhosting, it really is amazing.

After the cool corporate  indifference  of H&R, is is unusual to have a real live MRS Greybeard welcoming us.  Unusual, but very much appreciated.

Thanks again for your warm welcome.

:D Where did this board and all these folks come from? I am a humble .410 owner, says Marlin on the barrel, made bye NEF. I taught my youngest boy to shoot hand thrown clays with it. Cut the stock down so it fit him, recently bought a new one from Numrich Arms to fit Me, I'm going to shoot some birds with it.

:toast:

I've also changed my name on the old NEF site from "scruffy" to
"scruffy - at graybeardoutdoors.com" and have left if signed in and am hitting refresh every so often to keep it in the logged in users list.  I did this after seeing Jeff223 did the same thing - good idea Jeff!  Anybody looking at that sight now will hopefully come over here to investigate

later,

Scuffy I just did the same. I also left 338 a PM on the 6th, but have not heard from him. Have you heard from him.

Nope, nothing on 338,  I haven't even seen him sign in when I've been logged in here keeping an eye over there.  But I just saw that coltrane logged into h&r talk, he should see both out changed names now and hopefully come on over!

Scruffy/BBF, If I ain't mistaken he is already here, 338 that is. Checked the memberlist link and there is a 338 from Michigan on that list. I could be mistaken, if I am it won't be the first time. :wink:  :oops:
