Russ Bickel has passed away
Russ Bickel, a good friend and wonderfully talented gunsmith, passed away late yesterday following complications after a triple bypass heart surgery two weeks ago. Russ repaired and refurbished many Parkers for PGCA members as well as others who were drawn to his talents. His work on other American doubles, especially Winchester Model 21s, had to be seen to be truly appreciated. His talents, persona and presence will be sorely missed.
