Spoke to the household lawyer a bit ago and she felt it likely that if this guy excepted a PMO for this sent throught the mail and had reason to believe this was other than he advertised that he would be committing mail fraud.
Did see something interesting in my search for information on Whitneys, it seems that there was an engineer at Whitney that went over to Remington just as the Whitney went into production named Beals. Now I understand why the Remington looks so much like the Whitney.
Interesting to see how many of the same names pop up among the engineers and machinist in the various arms concerns, espacially with the failures at Lawrence around this time. Even Mauser appearently worked at Colt for a bit.
Well I have drifted off topic yet again. ADK (Attention Deficit Keyboarding) at its worst.
