The last time I visited Mike's house, I was with Shrapnel. I was an impressionable young man of 20 something, and when Mike pulled a box or two of 270 bullets out of a shed for me to try in my handloads, I felt like I won the lottery.
He showed me the first Merwin and Hulbert I had ever seen, and started me well down a path of the well traveled gun lover. He was about as nice a guy I have met, and listening to him and Shrap jaw about cheating eachother out of one gun or another was pure entertainment. That was almost 15 years ago.
Where has the time gone?
I hope they enjoy their misery together and give eachother lots of hell for getting old and feeble. ;-)
Well wishes for both, for sure and for certain.
You should read my Merwin thread on Handguns. If it ain't on the current page it should be one over.
