I was telling my wife last night of Mickey's passing and of course she didn't know who he was. I said "the .223AI that I have he's the gentleman that built it, it's the rifle that Mackenzie used to kill her first deer with three weeks ago".

It's funny to think how many memories he indirectly was involved in once you think about the rifles he has built for so many of us here on the Fire.

I think another will fall in Mickey's memory using that rifle this weekend.

My daughter holding the .223AI Mickey built for me and the one she used for her first deer that evening.

The scientific name for an animal that doesn't either run from or fight its enemies is lunch.
