Burt Kellerstedt of New Britain, CT passed away this week. Burt was a veteran of the battle of the bulge and got four purple hearts. Burt ran the local gunshop near me for a long time. He was an excellent gunsmith. His lead time was about a week and he kept his promises.

He was of the old school and made a good life on his own skills and grit. It was said that Burt knew more about every part that the Sprinfield Armory made than anyone.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.
