Hi all, new here, although I'm a frequent poster on http://www.ar15.com. I recently sent my new Colt Series 70 to the Yo~Bo shop for their 1* package.

To tide me over during the wait, I thought I'd look up threads on this board about the 1* series pistols.

My search for "1*" posts never returns hits. I'm guessing it has something to do with "*" being used by the search engine as a wildcard character.

Anyone know a workaround to execute this search?

Well, yes and no. * is in fact a wildcard, but's being stripped out in the phpBB code when the search function is run.

I don't know workaround that will last thru the phpBB code revision cycle. I just went thru the code for the search page, and it's not something that I want to modify right now.

The solution would be to use \* to escape the *, BUT that also gets stripped out due to the way the code is written. I'll see what I can come up with, but I make no promises right now.

Wow! I appreciate the quick response (and on a weekend!)

Mark is just that good. His dedication knows no bounds. Just don't piss him off.

Hello bigsapper, and welcome! Just cruise into the custom pistols section on the forum....a big majority of the posts there are also of 1* pistols from the many satisfied customers. One of the older ones on here is my buddy's pistol. Search for a post "Mr. Witherspoon are your ears burning" and you should find it....good pics of a beautiful and extravagant weapon! Enjoy.
