Lone Star Rifles, Tragedy
      #196929 - 16/12/11 11:14 PM

Hello Folks,

Last night (12/15/11) I sent an email to Dave Higginbotham of Lone Star Rifles. I asked him about building one of his world-famous Rolling Block rifles for me. This is the reply. I hope you'll join me in a prayer for the family.

Dear Tom,

My Dave was accidentlly shot and killed Wed. morning. I'm so sorry he can't help you. He just wanted everyone to give their lives to Jesus. He said it was the most important decision a man would ever make.

Sincerely, Katha Higginbotham

Take care, Tom

Wow. Really unfortunate. His shop is about 30 minutes from my house, and Dave replaced some sights on an original Sharps 1874 Business Rifle for me. While we were there I spent a bunch of time looking over his rolling blocks and he built a great rifle, including a copy of the Gove underlever (I spent a bunch of time gawking at that one).

Big loss.
