Or maybe he has never been to ar15.com or just never heard of our ETH.

Adding the Hun after an Anglo name isn't a rare thing.

Eric the Hun was a cartoon strip before AR15.com existed. Probably just a coincidence.

ETH had 33k posts spanning the 4 years up to the other guy joining here and the two years following that until he passed (provided the sn above is correct).  Unlikely that the other guy hadn't heard of him.

I think he used Hagar the horrible as an avatar at one point . I misremembered it as Eric the Hun.
I meant no disrespect.

"realeric" joined ar15.com back in 2005, before the other Eric passed away. I didn't actually know of him until this thread, as I wasn't on the site back in 2006.

So his name here at least wouldn't have been any disgrace to the guy's death, though its possible the name choice could have been influenced by the guy for who knows what reason.

Not necessarily...

As I recall (And Jarhead22 might have a better reccollection) ETH actually came up with "Eric The Hun" for the user who goes by RealEric.

Eric didn't want it and Wayne thought it was a cool handle and used it himself.

That's how I remember Wayne explaining it to me at dinner one night.

ETA:  RealEric was alluding to the fact that he was not Eric The Hun" but rather, the "REAL" Eric, IIRC.

Then I defer to you, good sir and I guess I owe an apology. I emailed Wayne a few times back and forth in 2003/04, was supposed to call him after he personally invited me to the Hun farm for the next get-together, but I didn't make the last one before he passed. A decision I regret to this day. He counseled me on a few of my life's seemingly trivial problems. He was a very smart and wise man.




I'm not ashamed to admit I shed a tear upon hearing of his passing.

Dupe thread.  

Real eric has been dragged through the mud over this before.

That guy with the GB account has well lets just say he hasn't made too many friends on a lot of the gun boards for various reasons and I will leave it at that.

If that's RealEric.... he and Wayne did business together.... I seem to remember their names were related too.

Something tells me it isn't....



Oh, and dupe.

Peace be with him in the loving arms of our Saviour.


ETA: This may sound strange, but I still have some of our emails back-and-forth saved in my IM account here on Arfcom. I get them out and read them every now and then. ETH was one of a kind, and he is sorely missed.

I met RealEric at a market hall gun show after ETH had passed away.  That was pretty much the way he described the name situation to me.  They were friends according to RealEric.

What's with putting SVD, AKSU and Krinkov in an RPK auction title/description? That is utter bullshit, imo.
