[QUOTE="mike33, post: 262047, member: 14195"] Seely Masker ( The Great Gunsmith ) was a very special person to me. I bought a used bench gun off of him, sent to me and said check it out then mail me a check. The man didnt know me from adam , his theory was if you cant trust a shooter who in the hell can you trust. I was in the auto- body business at the time and started painting his stocks for him. I couldnt belive how many bench guns this guy turned out. He invited me to his home in Getzville NY. just outside if Buffalo. I went up and spent the day, his shop was in his basement. Very nice set up he had, bet the neighbors didnt know what was going on in this guys basement. We had a very good friendship for around 6 years until he retired still kept close by phone then he left the range to his happy shooting grounds. The man was very funny, he good be so **** grouchy you would have to laugh. I would be talking to him on the phone in jan. and ask how was the weather was, his responce: how in the hell would i know im not outside. Or the phone would ring ( before caller id ) pick it up and say hello: on the other end was : where in the hell is my ******** stocks. You had to love the man. I never forgot one year shooting the IBS nationals after the match they would call out top scores, Seely now in late 80's with bad legs would hobble around to each of his shooters and give his his firm hand shake and say well done. What a man and one hell of a gunsmith. I miss our friendship. Mike [/QUOTE]
