God, this board is all about giving away information or sharing it with others. Oscar was one of the best about sharing what he had learned. Klunkmeister was very helpful in several Smith project I was working on. John Mann freely helped me when I was building my gun room with what he had learned when he built his. Bill Wise shared so much information about HAL, Lindner gun that I had the hots for them for several years. Still do and will never miss the chance to look at one. The late Toni was an inspiration the way he dove into working on guns, doing what he could himself and then finding fellows in the trade to help him when he could not. The list goes on and on for me. Yes a few of them were a bit sarcastic or worse did not tolerate fools or BS artist well. To me that just made them like family all the more.
