    (IIRC).
    The bank may be fine. What a lot of banks do, however, is sell off their loans. They do this in blocks, so if they transfered off a set of million dollar loans, the brothers grim's loan might have been included. At a different bank, they might have wanted that collateral.

      Wow I got to say its been a while since the last post. I've been out for awhile but its nice to see Tom, Tuna, Moe, Skeeter, and those old names I forgot to mention still here. You are the true Maggers. Luke and Rogue you still here?

      Know a thing or two about business. I sure some of you guys can back me up but Smarts Parts unfortantly to myself expanded way to fast and to strong but in the end .... well you know the story. Being a niche market within a niche market leads to failure. They put to many eggs into one basket you'd say. But welcome to the American Economy, you fail your competiters grow stronger. I know it way to well, not with the paintball industry but with the green industry.

      Been itching to get back in with a AGD, enough to offer up a kidney maybe a beer soaked liver. The 03 Prostock Cocker has treated me well but its no straight up Mag.

          I wonder if I'm the 3rd party source? I got that from a "friend", and was the first to post it here and on PbN.

                  It's not the numbers, it's the content... I'd say I'm running at about 5% BST offers, 15% "props" for cools projects, 25% news & speculation, 25% technical advice & help, and 30% crude jokes & sarcasm. Them's some well balanced posting habits if I do say so myself.


                  And back to the subject... Anyone have any more details about Richmond Italias SmartParts buy-in?

                      Sounds good to me... No idea what I'll be shooting for a cold-weather marker though


                      Anyone else see this "rumor" at the bottom of that ProPB page?


                      IMO Richie Italia is about 22 years late when it comes to "inventing" the .50cal paintball.
