Say, anyone hear from swampman lately?

Haven't seem him posting on here lately, maybe he's on a all expense paid cruse, paid for by Remington.

Regards,

Weren't a couple of people put on Ice for a while?

He posted a bunch of pictures of guns he recently bought.
I think he is camped out at the range with a case of Fresca and several cans of viennas, trying out his new guns.

Or Remington rolled out the red carpet for him somewhere very nice.

A couple weeks back I drove from southern CA to NC. On the way through TN on I-40 on the trip, I rolled past a huge Remington building/complex... I'm guessing it's where they load ammo... don't know if it's their only plant?

I believe munitions is what the sign in front of the plant indicates.

Not sure why, but I kinda miss his "one line, blanket statements"

He's like salt....Adds flavor to the pot, but also like salt too much tastes bad.

A 'gator got him? $:-\$

According to his profile he was Last Active: Yesterday at 11:11:36 AM. He likes to lay off awhile to see if anyone misses him enough to make a post like this.

i like him! however the sun does not rise and set on remington arms.but alot of his info is usefull. will say this right or wrong he stands by what he says.

Dee · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2011, 03:27:37 PM »

LOL! He stands by what he says until he changes it. Swampy is one of my all time favorite "button pushers".

Wow, a following. I will say that more than occasionally he pulls some serious stuff out of his a$$ and hands it out with a semi-toothless smile for the uneducated and inexperienced to gobble up.

Of course, as few posts as you have on here that are active at any time he is good for giving someone something new to read I guess.

godale · « **Reply #15 on:** July 29, 2011, 04:37:05 PM »

you have to remember i am still very new here yet... probally dont know alot about folks...

There's one in Lonoke, AR. on I 40, I have not seen one in TN.

I am sure he will be back. He posts on another site and a couple guys there told him to please go back to GBO.

BUGEYE · « **Reply #18 on:** July 30, 2011, 02:22:15 AM »

you can learn a lot about people when they talk about someone else.

mannyrock · « **Reply #19 on:** July 30, 2011, 07:13:26 AM »

The Remington plant is in Arkansas, not Tennessee.

I know that they make shotgun shells there, but I don't know what else.

Dee · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2011, 07:35:05 AM »

Well I run both states, I guess I got'em mixed up.

BBF · « **Reply #21 on:** July 30, 2011, 07:49:38 AM »

Lonoke is the name on a box of ammo I got up here in the fresh cool air North.

Believe it or not ATF wants to know how much ammo I'm bringing South and who made it, otherwise I would not even have looked.

that's because you resemble a middle-east terrorist. can't be too careful.

jlchucker · « **Reply #23 on:** July 30, 2011, 10:57:26 AM »

I haven't seen Swampman hunting alligators on the History Channel. Those guys are not using Remingtons--they seem to prefer beat-up Marlin Model 60 22's. I miss seeing Swampy's comments as well as many of the rest of you. Hope he's OK.

Harry Snippe · « **Reply #24 on:** July 30, 2011, 05:10:56 PM »

Guess a few of us miss the old bussard like a bad cold . I find he rattles his bucket with out any thought of what he is saying .
And if Remington was as perfect as he thinks I would have a few more in the safe than the two I currently own .

pastorp · « **Reply #25 on:** July 30, 2011, 05:35:54 PM »

Harry,

I believe he knows exactly what he's saying....Like Dee says, he likes to push buttons & see what pops out.

Regards,

Only on GBO can you get raked over the coals for saying nothing.

Swampys like tomatos in a salad. He adds a little color to it, whether it makes sense, or you agree with him or not.

I agree. there would be something missing if the swamper wasn't here.

Perhaps he step off into some quicksand or one of those Remington`s failed to fire and a wild boar hog got`em!!
