I have been listing The Gun Report magazines for the last week. Man, are they boring! Just listing the articles and authors again and again turns into a pain. I probably have another week's worth of them to list.
I can tell you that C. Meade Patterson contributed to almost every issue with some major article - many of them in parts.
They talk about Mexican guns, European guns, Civil War guns, even Revolutionary War guns, the Gatling Gun - you name it, they probably have an article on it. And since this subject doesn't fascinate me (OK, I did read about McKinley's assassination and some on the Gatling Gun), it's just not as much fun. I don't imagine most men want to list Harlequin romance books either. Of course, I'm not fond of listing those either, LOL!
There's a lot of good analysis in the articles, this information could be useful to a writer who wanted know more about the weapons used. Or, if you're a gun collector, this should be right up your alley.
So I'm suffering here, but I'm listing them for you!
Here's a sample for you:

Hope someone will be interested in these, they do have a lot of historical references in them.

I don't have this issue and did not find another on the net to suggest. I also do not see this article available anywhere. Perhaps you could do a library search to see if one of them holds a copy?

The magazines I have only go to 1980. The particular issue you want is The Gun Report of October, 1983. Here is the only thing I found on line (it's sold, but shows what you are looking for): http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=329690971
I don't see any copies online now. Perhaps you could put a want on eBay for it.
Best of luck to you.
i am looking for an article that apparently ran in the "the gun report" magazine titled "Settle Riflemakers of Kentucky" by DeWitt Settle, W., R. Green and C. Meade Patteson.; I believe that it may be in the December 1961 issue.

It appears this might the article you're looking for. Hope this helps.
Did you happen to list the article on circumventions of the rollin white patent.
It doesn't appear to be in the ones I have listed. Good luck in your search.
