I've been a member of Colt forum for a year. But I only have one Colt so don't post much. I've found them helpful, but agree with the person who said that it sometimes takes a while to get a response to a question.

That said, there are some really knowledgeable people there and I've gotten very good info from my questions.

The friendliest forum of all is marlinowners.com. I post quite a bit there as I really like collecting Marlin lever actions.

And they tolerate my bad jokes which sometimes get deleted here.

I generally stay away from politics on all forums.
