Back issues muzzle blasts

[mailmanmike40]

I recently joined the NMLRA and I can't seem to access the older issues. It says to just click on one to open it, but I can't seem to get it to work. I did register with my member I'd to start. Any ideas? I'm sure it's user error. Thanks

Just tried it on my android phone and I couldn't get them to open per their instructions. I was able to see the really old ones as a PDF file.
Recently tried getting a campsite by using the online feature and it hasn't worked after multiple tries over many days.
Typical Tri-state gun club headaches. You can try calling them....good luck.

Are you using your phone or computer to log in? I can't get half the stuff to work on my Android phone.

I am using my android phone, wonder what the problem is

Probably something in security settings or it doesn't have an app to read PDF files. Other than that I don't have a clue.

Most androids do not come with a pdf viewer installed by default.
You will have to find a "pdf viewer" on the "play" store to install and then try the link again.
Hope this helps!

I downloaded a PDF reader on my android. I can now access all the back issues of muzzle blasts online. Much thanks for the tips gentleman

That doesn’t always work on a phone. I had to use my computer

Guess I didn't figure it out. I can access back to April of 2000.
I did download a PDF reader.
Don't know why it has to be so difficult

I’ve had problems with the NMLRA website. Most recently, I couldn’t even log on. It seems they did an update that cancelled my password, and I had to log on to change it. Except I couldn’t log on because my password was cancelled. I called them and spoke with a lady who was able to sort things out, more or less. She was patient and helpful. Just make sure you have your membership card and member number handy if you call them.

I have had periodic problems with accessing back issues of Muzzle Blasts. The files are just too big, for one thing. It would work so much better if they would load one issue per file, instead of entire annual volumes. The issues from the fifties had the best stories, many of them illustrated with John Barsotti’s artwork, and issues from the sixties and seventies had the best articles and “how to” projects. The back issues are a terrific resource. Too bad they are so hard to access!
