At the Vintagers last year, he had a rifle with a tag on it that said "46". Harry went to him and said "is this $46?" Steve chuckled and said "nice try kid. $5000." We wound up buying some stuff off his bargain table which was a treasure trove in itself.

Steve was a very nice man and a joy to do business with, it is a great loss and I will miss his display tables, it was like visiting a firearms museum.

I met Steve in the late 70s when we were both selling A5s out of the back of our vehicles. We set up side x side at many shows. He came to visit us at Game Fair in the 90s and I bought floral shirts for the entire staff. When he walked in everyone was wearing a Steve Barnett trademark shirt. It really cracked him up. We were friends and competitors as the same time. I will miss him greatly.

I will miss Steve just like the rest of you guys. Enjoyed doing business with him "both ways". Will miss his laugh & sense of humor. Yes, a loss to the community.
