We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I have an Adams Mark lll, ser #77-- that has been in the family for more than 40 years. Does anyone have any info as to whether this could have been a military weapon. it's pretty cool.

I believe that the mark 3 was contracted by the British army as well as being sold on the civilian market. But as to how many for how long we will have to wait for smarter folk than me to answer.
