Rinos post about Big Dave got me to thinkin about a good friend of mine and sort of unoffical sponsor and pretty good gunsmith.I doubt if i would be shooting open if not for him. Basically he gave me an open gun and told me to try and wear it out and when i made GM i could give it back.I told him i would rather just buy the gun and he said if that made me more comfortable that was fine but i dident have to. And it wasent an old worn out gun either (SV IMM Open with less than 5k throughit)Some days he beleves in my albilites alot more than i do.
And im not the only one,He is allways working on everyones guns for free,If someone needs a gun for a few months he will offer one with out anyone asking.
His home club probabally would not exist if not for him.I dont know how many ARs he has bilt for guys around here so they could shoot 3 gun matchs and just charged them for the parts he dident have on hand.Anyway I just wanted to give him a little recegnition and i will probabally get my butt chewed when he reads this.
THANKS MARKIE
