Rest Peacefully, Will. I just spoke to you days before. Thanks for the assistance and work and all of those here that you helped. We will be along soon enough.

This is sad news. Will walked me through so many AR issues via ******** messenger. He was a very busy guy who gave generously of his time and knowledge. We spoke recently about his upcoming class in Vermont.

Just an FYI, Gunz was art of the BW family. There is a fundraising link for him on the alum page

I can post it here however a quick google search should find it.

I only took his class once, and I almost certainly felt like I was drinking from a firehose. I was looking forward to taking it again to fill in the gaps that I had missed.

RIP brother, you taught us so much collectively. I, for one, will continue to preach the Gospel: State your Castle Nut!

I always enjoyed his insights on here, especially when dealing with weapons issues(as a fellow gun plumber, though nowhere near his caliber). Rest in Peace sir. Too young...
