Most of my Mac plugs are unsigned

I don't know the date he started signing them, but it was a while ago

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I got this plug from a generous gentleman on this site. Not signed but he said it was a Mac. Nice looking pencil

Maybe Mac can authenticate it. It maybe be moving to a new home for some BM Cowboy Jr's

If it's not a MAC my next guess would be Fixter. I have the exact same plug!

Mac never talked to me about plug making. Thats what probably helped him the most

I don't know how to respond to this thread the way it's turned, I could go many directions. editing it comes to mind as it was about identifying a mac unsigned plug, not who showed who what.

bassmaster, you can take that comment however you want to, but most all of us have heard the same old song from you about this type of thing over and over, it gets old. Mac deserves better.

go test some plugs, you'll feel better, and might catch a twinkee

With SO many people making plugs these days......you guys SHOULD sign your plugs.

Gee - Your best bet would be to compare the paint jobs, that would be the best way to tell -

I have a handful of MACs' but only 1 was signed. ...but I'll always know which ones of mine he made cuz he custom colored them in my own personal choices.
MAC - - you da man. Class Act.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
