Great reading. Interesting to note that the Mannlicher rifle was $160, whilst the Zeiss Scope was $60 to $80 - about 50% of the cost.
A lot of scopes now cost pretty much the same or substantially more than the rifle they sit upon.

I hope everyone who wished to got a chance to enjoy and / or download the images I had posted, as I will not be paying $400.00 to Photobucket for the privilege of reposting them.
It's been fun,
Brian Rothhammer.

Thank you, John (NitroX)!
Your prompt reply and offer to re install the images is greatly appreciated. You have reinforced my opinion that NitroExpressForum is a first rate website and a credit to the worldwide community of those who appreciate finely crafted firearms.
To all;
John and I will be working to restore the images deleted by Photobucket and, over time, to create an archive of those and other pages of the 1939 Stoeger catalog for the enjoyment and edification of NitroExpress members and visitors.
Thank you (wado),
Brian Rothhammer

Thanks. Loaded up your first two images. Send to me, or upload onto a drop box all the other images, and we will see about getting them in on NE as a permanent archive.

I couldn't agree more Rothhammer!
We all have some information that others are wanting, if we are willing to share as in your case (with MS rifles of which I know zip) here then we are all so much better off!
And a special thanks must be especially given to John for being so kind & able to do so for us.
Thank you gentlemen

Sorry but my catalogs are stored offsite.
I've had no time to research your issue.

Seeing the photobucket images were viewable, I went and copied them, took hours !!! Each photo had to indifivually opened and the image view viewed. At least three clicks. Then saved. Then from three to eight clicks to get back to where I started. Then the views edited for spaces and decimal points or full stops. Which won't work on a linux server which NE's ISP uses. Then upload them. Then edit each and every image web address on every post. I first copy the whole thing, then over write the new server address. Then copy the image file name, and then again have to edit out all the spaces and full stops. 135 images and several hours.
Think I got them all. All the images at the moment should be duplicated. Will go and delete the crapbucket links later.

Thank you so much, John.
I appreciate the time (and mind numbing redundancy) involved, believe me. I had some time invested in the original postings as well.
I haven't been available to address this for the past week (had family over) - lucky for me! I hadn't really intended to dump all of that work in your lap.
What I will do now is to follow your latest instruction to transmit higher resolution (1200 dpi) images of the 1939 Stoeger to you for the NitroExpress archive. I have some scanned already, I'll crop them to the page borders and pass them along as full page scans. I'll make scans of those that I haven't yet and over time the entire 500 plus page catalog will be thus preserved.
On behalf of myself and all others who appreciate this 'site, Thanks again to John 'NitroX'.
BR.

I don't understand the "long drop" bucket also known a photo bucket.
Some time ago, all the images on it were transplanted with the "we hate our users" images.
Then when I copied all the images, it was because I could view and access the images again.
Earlier today, I saw the "we hate our users" images again.
But now I can see the actual images again????
My guess is the views and hit rates/ visits at crapbucket have crashed since they overloaded the site with excessive advertising, which is very intrusive, and since they blocked at the images from being shared and even viewed on site.
Really really stupid people running that site.
My guess is the click rate has crashed and now they periodically allow the images to be viewed and shared from non viewing accounts. To try to get people to pay their ridiculous fees.
BTW for anyone slightly net and internet savvy, buy your own ISP server space. Maybe even a domain. Server space is very cheap, and you get oodles of space, your own ftp access (ie uploading sw), probably an automated ftp facility as well. No need to pay at least 4x the amount to photobucket.
