We had many a meal at Doc's for lunch as well as Indian food and chasing down authentic Street Tacos. We grabbed growlers of local craft beers and took  trips to visit gun shops across the state and up into NC on occasion. He  scrounged brass at the range every chance he got like it was a professional sport.
John was a character..........and a good friend.

I never met him in person, but sure do miss his presence on the forum.

Gun show bingo was always popular.

You are correct, especially between his crop dusting gun shows and his comment of "my pants are tight!" In the botd forums.

During Covid, Ponti got a bunch of SC HTF folks from the Midlands out to Wateree.  No randos.  Serious gun guys.  Great gun handling and even better project guns.  We all learned from one another.

One member I really miss.  

It’s a shame I never got to meet him in person.  Quite the character.  I need to get out there and pay a visit to Mom & Dad.

I went to the Anderson show Sunday and made out quite well.  Kicking myself that I didn't say so on here to meet up with any of you scalawags.  Next time...
