Article: 6:12 Well, the bug has finally bitten me and I've decided to have my .45 gov series 80 sent away for frills. I've heard a lot of good things about Richard Heine and his custom work. I'd like a compensator (with tight tolerence), trigger job, extended safeties, checkering of the grip and beveled magazine well, match barrel and sights and perhaps a lowered ejection port. Mr. Heine does most or all of these things for around $400 - $500.. Does anyone have any coments about this? Suggestions about other (good) smiths? 7 months for a Heine jobs is a bit long. I'm willing to pay and wait for quality work tho.. ucbvax!jkh

Article: 6:14 Does anyone out there know what is going on inside the National Rifle Association? There have been two changes in the Executive Vice Presidency in the last year and very little information as to why has been made public. When Harlon Carter resigned, he had previously alluded to factions within the organization which were in opposition to him. Now Ray Arnnet has been removed from office by the executive board. There was a short article in this month's American Hunter magazine which said the board had removed him from office for improperly conducting the affairs of his office (my words not theirs-that is how it read to me). The absence of information available to the rank and file is most distressing to me. Is this just a good old fashion power struggle? Is the NRA plotting the overthrow of the government? what the h--- is going on? Does anyone out in net land know? Mark O'Shea Maybe an ex-NRA member soon.
