If memory serves Tyrell left Fairfax in the mid 90’s and went to MT to run a club . Not to long ago I “heard” he was in Houston managing “The Greater Houston Club” . He took a little getting to know but was always a decent fellow to me . I know I bought a veritable truckload of loading components from him . Also a few guns , sold him some guns as well . AJ Beard had a LNIB Kimber 89BGR 280 REM Super Grade in Jim’s shop at Fairfax on consignment . I bought that rifle and hunted with it for about ten years and killed a huge pile of deer with it , kinda wish I had it back
