He is pretty universally hated in Connecticut.

George is correct. Wilson was purportedly 'cataloging' the Colt Collection, housed in the State Library. It was determined he switched out several pieces from the collection with lessor quality pieces, and was supplying them to at least two collectors. His books make nice coffee table clutter, but they aren't even close to authors like Mattis and Kopec.
