The Firearms MagEzine


It started as a monthly newsletter published by Centerfire Central and delivered by email. A lot of it was written by myself, Bill Wade, but I also had some great contributors.

Shortly after I set up the web site "Centerfire Central" I began publishing a monthly email newsletter.

The first issue came out in May of 1998 and the last one was March of 2000. The last issue was delivered to over 1400 subscribers.

It was a lot of fun to put together and I made some great contacts through it. However, the time involved in its creation got to be more than I could handle so I gave it up.

Most of it has been cut and pasted into the ARTICELS and PRODUCT REVIEW sections of this web site.
