He passed away a few years back, he was a good gunsmith.

Thanks

That is unfortunate.
Would have loved to have had a chat with him.

He built two Mauser sporters for me back in the early 1990's. Both are MOA performers. The machine work was impeccable. His specialty was single shots and he could be found selling them at local gun shows. He was a sharing individual who would take the time to show you around his shop and explain exactly what operations would be carried out on your firearm. Sorry to hear of his passing.
