Jman Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) ....this one hurts... A good shooter and fine gunsmith at Accuracy Speaks, Marty Kolodziej, suffered a severe stroke on April 19th. In spite of tremendous effort by the team at Banner, Marty passed away on Monday April 29th. Marty ALWAYS went out of his way to be helpful. His work was excellent. WAY to young. Way to young. His is missed already. Edited May 1, 2013 by Jman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signcutter Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Marty was a hell of a good guy. I remember shooting the High Desert Classic Match in ABQ with him a couple of years ago. Probably the most fun i've had on or off the range! So sorry to hear this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryP Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I was sorry to hear about Marty! Very nice guy. He did me a favor or two (as he did for anyone he came in contact with.)

jabberwalkie2 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I w as priveledged to shoot the area 2 with him last year on staff days, and he was a lot of fun to be with. I had a malfuction with my gun and in between stages he fixed it at no charge, plus he has done some smith work for me on 2 of my guns. He was a neat guy and very fair with his time and work. He will be missed not only for his friendship but as a gunsmith. R.I.P Marty Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
