I had the pleasure of making his acquaintance at one of the pig shoots down in Tennessee a few years back. He and I had a lovely conversation one afternoon about his knives, and of course, Sharps rifles. He was very generous, and persuasive. I ended up buying a Shiloh Sharps a few months later. He was a card, and always happy to talk on the phone when I had a question about the rifle. I will lift a bourbon in his memory tonight. Vaya Con Dios, Mr. Bagwell.

Amazing Quigley-like skill to use a rifle like that! You mentioned, "Bill passed away unexpectedly this afternoon while recovering from successful back surgery." Something seems strangely related to surgery with the timing. Are you allowed to speculate.? It's not important to me, just curious. I'll pray for the family. (It's times like these that I think of my signature....) Last edited by Happy_Camper; 02/17/21.

I did and talked for 2 hours the first time. The day after i had emergency gallbladder surgery. He called to check on me and we talked about him hunting with the duck commander back in his youth etc. he mailed me a dvd of him hunting in africa with his sharps. He taught me alot of iron sight shooting and sharps and black powder in our few conversations. Told me if i ever got out his way to come by and shoot some silhouettes. RIP Mr Bill. Glad I got to gain some knowledge and wisdom from
