We Regret To Have To Make The Following Announcement
Since 1989 we have striven to produce a journal of the highest quality. However it is with much regret that due to inflated material and labor costs, and diminishing interest in classic guns, we are forced to discontinue The Double Gun Journal. We had sincerely hoped that we could keep going and at least finish this year out; however we can’t go on. We feel so badly that we are letting you all down, but we are not able to financially continue…For the past several years we have been operating at a loss. We now realize that at our age, the demands of a quarterly publication have come to be too much for us.
The young people of today are not nearly so interested in classic guns and subsequently many of our older collectors, with no one to leave their guns to, are forced to sell their collections to get their estates in order. Although it is indeed time for us to step aside, we truly hope that someone will see this adversity as an opportunity to take over the publishing of The Double Gun Journal.
We do intend to keep our website operational and our webstore can offer back issues to those who would like to complete their collections or perhaps gift them to someone very special. Also we have many other products available.
Having now completed our final Index & Reader Volume III, we plan to publish more unique books of firearms.
Thank you for understanding and for your support over the years.
Daniel & Joanna.
