My best friend in this world, who was a member here "DaveM3", died on Dec. 23, 2006.
Chris,
I am sorry to hear of your friend and our fellow member Dave dying. Condolences.

He owned a G. Little .500 Black Powder Express. I was fortunate enough to purchase it from his family. It was a privilidge to get to handle and shoot such a rifle and it's truly an honor to own my best friends prized double. Not a day goes by that I am not reminded in some way of him as we spent lots of free time tinkering with or shooting our favorite guns. Like myself he liked big bore rifles and told me that "recoil builds character". Well, I think we stocked up on it between the .500 and my .458 CZ. Dave's still here, it's just hard to talk to him now. He had a long battle with cancer and I guess Jesus needed someone to teach him to shoot.
It is good to hear that you have been able to acquire your friend's double rifle. I am sure he would be pleased to know it is in your hands. And what a great way to remember a good friend later when some time passes than to talk his rifle out for a hunt and remember good times.
