I've received several PM's wondering what happened to my website. I was notified by the hosting company several months ago the fee to maintain the site was increased by 100% plus the fact that the hosting software was obsolete & no longer supported. Even if I was willing to pay the additional hosting fee, I could no longer change or update the site. Therefore, it would have cost a considerable amount to setup a new site. So, after some serious thoughts & considerations I decided to let the site license expire. The main reason I setup the site several years ago was to list my book & provide a easy method for orders. It quickly turned into a place to also store my many BPCR & related articles & make them available for interesting readers. I still have all the articles & photos so if you'd like a copy of a specific article let me know.

And anyone interested in my Browning BPCR book will find it for sale on Amazon, GunBroker or eBay.

You had some real good articles on there that helped me on my BPCR path. Shame to see it go. Your book has been indispensable with my Brownings too!

When I was in college, we had to make a website with WordPress, which was free, at least for the basic one. Not sure if that's an option

Thanks guys.

JHand, I'm well aware of WordPress but was not aware that one could setup a free website, even a basic site, using WordPress.  I'll check into that.  Thanks.

Copies of the articles might be found in the (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links). I found several articles in their scans from 2022 and before. However, images (which can be bulky) are often not archived.

I don't think WordPress hosting is free. There might still be free web hosting sites that insert ads to pay the freight. A quick search finds (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) on free hosting.

Hey guys,

Thanks to Laurie Gapko & especially Alan Shore, all of my articles are now available on ASSRA's home page.  Click on TexasMac BPCR Archive.

I understand Laurie, in a recent directors meeting, suggested that ASSRA would be a good place to archive the articles.  Alan Shore made it happen, spending a bunch of time configuring the necessary links & uploading over 70 articles.
