This is your forum host, checking on a large hunk of high grade American made iron.
MANY THANKS to everyone who has contributed to the information in these files. This forum will always be a work in progress. It’s a way to file away all of my Commander information for personal use, and it’s also a way to share it with anyone else who may be interested, or who may need the info (for their personal and non-commercial purposes), or may want to post, ask questions, etc. Because much of the information on the forum is not checked for accuracy, represents opinions in some cases from unknown sources, and may represent a safety or personal/financial liability if acted upon, the information in this forum and Master Index is offered with the very best of intentions, but it MUST be validated by the user before utilization in any way. If anyone sees a link in this index that does not work, of finds any inaccuracies, please post a note and I’ll try to fix it!
Regards, all the best,
Paul
