    A Really Great Idea: Maynards for ALL

    My recent experience has convinced me of the vast superiority of the Maynard over all other carbines seen in the N-SSA. From a moral standpoint it is really not fair for anyone to have to compete against these materpieces of firearms engineering. Therefore I have come up with an idea to level the playing field once and for all -- buy Maynards for everyone.
    How can you do this you might ask? Well it's simple; simply levy a small fee as part of the annual membership obligation - say $50 per year. In the meantime a contract would be let with Larry Romano to produce 3,500 Maynards. I'm sure Larry would provide a great price on each rifle for an order this large. As the guns are finished they would be issued to the members according to membership number. Since many of the newer members likely do not have Maynards, and many of the older members are too feeble to raise any firearm, I would suggest beginning at the exact midpoint of the membership list, i.e., at membership number 7786.
    I believe that this is a really doable plan and hope the Board takes up this matter as soon as it can.

    Dear Eggman,

    I believe the Maynard is an outstanding design. But, for everyone in the N-SSA to want one, it would have to have some of the characteristrics of the Sharps Carbine. Primarily the stock. The Maynard really needs a forearm, a heavier barrel, and a better rear sight.

    I believe we should put in for a Federal Grant and call it the N-SSA Stimulus Plan! Why pay for it ourselves? In the meantime, I'll stick with my vastly superior Merrill.
