I received my update from SurplusRifle today. Jamie Mangrum is going to have to stop the site. Apparently it will be next March.
I will be buying all his CDs I can afford.
I suggest anyone who needs the help offered on his site do the same.
His site has helped many people over the years, and it will be a loss to the collecting community.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. --- Thomas Jefferson.

Wow! Sad to see the site going down and also about poor Jamie himself, didn't know the man was sick with cancer. I hope he makes a full recovery. Surplusrifle has been a godsend to all milsurp collectors. I wonder though if he will keep surplusrifleforum up. It is an offshoot of surplusrifle and I believe I read once where he said it was much easier to manage compared to the main site. Lots of information and good people on that site.

That would be a great thing for ARFCOM to pickup.  *Hint*  *Hint*

I had already downloaded the web pages for the firearms I owned but I just decided to get both of the CDs and ordered them.

I DL the Enfield section and put it in a notebook along with some AR stuff from here.

I'll be getting the CD's ASAP.

Too Bad.  It was a big help to me when I started milsurping.

This makes me want to draw down on someone. That's the site that got me interested in milsurp firearms in the first place.

Another great site passed into oblivian.

Too bad, it's one of the best gun-related site on the internet.

So if I wanted to have a copy of everything, which CD's do I need? If I understand it correctly, Big Cd 1 & 2 has everything? O will I also need to get the Mosin/SKS and Mauser CD's? Also I assume all material contained in the booklets is also on the CD's?

I love that sight.

It's the very first place I go when I buy a new C&R. Learned how to disassemble all of my C&Rs there.

 Was just using the site for information on scoping a mauser  Going to go get the two big cds.

Dang, that sucks!  

Without hesitation I orderd botht he CDs.  $14 shipped for the pair, and probably worht 3 times that at the very least.  Also I figure a few bucks will go to Jamie, which he more than deserves for what I have gotten out of his site.

I'm in shock!  I can't tell everyone here how many times I have used that site to help me thought a screwed up situation.  I'll have to buy I and II for sure.

Oredered both CD's and 4 manuals.

It is a sad day...
Bought both CDs and well worth the small asking price.

There's already requests for donations to keep it going.  I'd wait until a bit more time has passed to declare it dead.
