Mike in Canon City

[sniper7]

Yeah, it was a decrepit sort of old ranch. He'd originally bought it with the intention of fixing it up, but got screwed over by several of the tenants he'd rented some of the outbuildings to. He changed his user name (can't remember what to) a few years back, and moved to Colorado Springs. That was the last I saw of him. I only knew it was him, because I recognized his Springfield TRP - his most prized possession left in the collection, and definitely the last thing he would have sold. I really miss the guy... we used to meet once a month to shoot the breeze and wreak havoc on hay targets in his back 40 acres. Lots of late night conversations over strong coffee spiked with scotch. Some good memories.

I fear the worst though - he was in a bad way last time I saw him. Wherever he is, God bless him, and I wish the best for him. He was a hell of a guy.

oh okay, i guess it isn't the same guy. sorry i couldn't help you out.

Was this Mike a former British subject and really speak like a true Limey?

He posts under "OldFart" on the RMGO site from time to time. I've done a good bit of trading with him, but can't find his number now. He's a great guy, very knowledgable about many things. In the Springs now. Yeah, BlasterBob, that's him. Caliber357 - don't fear the worst yet, he's still kickin'. I do remeber his "coffee"!

Glad to hear that he's still "kicking". He was in rather poor physical shape the last time I saw him (about 4 or 5 years ago) At that time he was getting rid of a "pile" of firearms etc, due to poor health. He was one of the few who'd allow a potential buyer/trader to test out one of his guns if the buyer wanted to. Thanks to you Fentonite for the update.

He was a helluva nice guy every time I talked with him. Glad to hear he is still around.

Good to hear he's still kicking, very nice guy who obviously lived through some interesting times.
