Solid guy

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.

Same. I wanted one of his lowers in the worst way, but he and I couldn't figure out the logistics of doing it legally.

i thought it would be cool as hell to have an AR rolllmarked with Bradley Arms, London England.

Group buy opportunity?

RIP Bradders - I didn’t know him but did enjoy his comments here on the board...

Others will know more, but from what I'd heard last year he'd gone for some check up due to a problem he was having & was told he had Stage 4 then

He did a lot for CSR shooting on both sides of the Atlantic - so had a big impact on a lot of shooters both sides of the pond

When he got banned I posted some pretty critical commentary. One of the Staff IM'd me that the ban was related to offsite issues and not posting. Not sure how that works.

You did. He was banned and recently admitted to having a new account. That's when his health issues were mentioned.

ETA-until that thread I thought he was "just a British gun guy". Had no idea of the work he was doing.
