Chub was a good man who really understood rifles. In fact the rifle I plan on carrying this spring bear season is the FN Husqvarna that he rebarreled to 375 Ruger and wrote about right after it was introduced.

Wow....... has it been that long already. Just seems like yesterday that I heard Chub had passed away. He was a good guy and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations I had with him over the years. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

Oops... The announcement of his estate sale made it read like he just died recently. | |||

I always enjoyed reading his articles, even though I don't remember seeing a lot of them. He always seemed to have a joyous sense of discovery in what he wrote. His articles seemed like he wanted to share his findings in a personal way directly to me. NRA Life Member DRSS-Claflin Chapter Mannlicher Collectors Assn KCCA IAA | |||

I met him one time at FNAWS (when it was called FNAWS). He was in the booth of a gunsmith, helping him. I can't remember the gunsmith's name. He designed the Nosler rifle. Or helped Nosler copy it from Howa. I only met him one time, thought he was a curmudgeony bastard, but I was 24 and just stepped off the airplane from Iraq. So my direction in life was a bit different. But I was a bit star-struck trying to find Storming Norman or Chuck Yeager, and wasn't really impressed with much of anything that day. His writing was excellent! | |||

Like alot of old jar heads who had seen their share of combat, he could at times seem a curmudgeony old bastard, but he had a heart of gold and a depth of experience and knowledge that was/is rare in the gunwriting industry.
