margun Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just learnt that Chris passed away last year. He had battled with the big C for some time. A loss of a great gunsmith (his machine shop in his garage was a thing to behold), a great dealer and genuinely nice chap. RIP Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussexboy Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 That's a shame. He was a great guy. Never managed to get away in less than a couple of hours evey time I visited. Hadn't been there for quite a few years so I didn't even know he was ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margun Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 We knew him as Chris On-and-onski, because it was always a long conflab with him, not to mention an Aladdin's cave which always cost a few quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Crumbs, made the long trek down to see him maybe 6-8 years ago. It was worth it, what a character! Very sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Never met the man, but had a few lengthy conversations with him, over a couple of purchases. Very interesting and knowledgeable man. It was my privilege to have encountered him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
