Unless I'm thinking of another UK member, I would swear I saw Bradders post here recently.

Yeah, and I'm not just saying that to be polite to the deceased. Guy was really active in the firearms community, offered cool insight, and created really cool firearms.

May he rest peacefully.

Bradders was a close friend of Derrick Martin that formerly ran Accuracy Speaks in Arizona, who was also part of the Marksmanship unit in the Arizona Guard. Bradders came to AZ every year to shoot and help Derrick run the AZ Guard's big annual shooting competition. Brought plenty of Brits to shoot here as well.

I'd always laugh at some of our idiots in the Brit Bash threads because Bradders was doing more for American shooting than most of them.

Was a Gun Manufacturer in UK as well, him and I would talk shop quite a bit.

Yup, he owned Bradley Arms. I was interested in buying one of his lowers, and now I regret never having done so.

You have to contact an importer like Simpson Ltd., and they can bring one in for a fee. It's not cheap, but it can be done without breaking the bank.

I require alcohol, red meat, hot naked women, and large quantities of small arms and ammo. My other hobbies are soft, furry bunny rabbits, pretty butterflies, and balloons in pastel colors.

I always liked him.

enjoyed razzing him about being stuck in oppressive England, and encouraged him to move to the US.

He had common sense, and a good sense of humor.

He got too drunk one night, and tried to arock me, thinking I was Derrick Martin from Accuracy speaks. ( I am not, which made it more funny )

Next day he sent me this apology, I promptly forgave him

I never knew why he got banned, but found his website, and traded some emails back n forth.

I always wanted to visit his shop and have a beer, but never made it there.

He never said why he got banned, but he was missed then, and will be missed now.

Rest in peace, my ARFCOM brother
