Laurence Pylinski

This past Tuesday my K-80 broke in the middle of a Paul Giambrone Skeet Clinic in Manassas, VA. The Top Latch would not recede and hence the gun didn't open. Laurence worked me into his schedule down in Cumberland VA (2 1/2 Hr ride) on Thursday and repaired/serviced my gun. I finished the Clinic with Paul of Friday. I noticed that Laurence is a Life Member of PGCA, and you all might be interested in the "Emergency Repair". Many thanks to Laurence. Billy Gross Haymarket,VA

I first met Pylinski in the late 80’s . At the time he was living not to far from Tappahanock VA . He serviced my then new K-32 as well as doing trigger jobs on a couple 11-87’s I was toying with in the 12 gauge skeet event and doubles . He could do a trigger job on an 1100/11-87 trigger and it would be as clean and crisp if not better than a Timeny of the time . Back then I could call him and make a reservation to visit in a day or two , stand there and watch while he went thru the gun . Now I understand he’s a heck of a lot busier .

Billy , was Bob Myers at the clinic ? I’ve not talked to Bob in maybe twenty years .

Bob is still shooting at the club, but he was not in the clinic. I went thru Orange on the way to Pylinski's place. Billy

Bob Myers is a bit uphill from me agewise, and I'm 77. I don't believe he or I can benefit much from a skeet clinic. What I need is a more comfortable dove stool to carry around the stations. On the other hand, Billy Gross is not much more than a teenager.

If I’m not mistaken Bob should be turning 86 this year . Bob helped me some with skeet 35 years ago . He was a fine gentleman then and I have no reason to think he’s any different now .
