BSeevers Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I was reading American Rifleman and saw we had missed a pioneers passing. Austin Fred Behlert a pistolsmith was important in the early development of the competition guns that we shoot today. It takes vision, determination and hard work to create something groundbreaking and lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter Grrl Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Though I had no exposure to Mr. Behlert, it always saddens me to see any posting under this topic. My prayers are with Austin's family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
