Your right! I have factory letters on several guns from different companies including Parker-Winchester-LC Smith-Browning and G&H but only Mr. Beach went far beyond the details of the gun through his comprehensive research thats you mention. I might also add that he was the only person that sounded like he was more excited than you to find out more info about your gun. You will definately be missed Mr. Beach. I hope somebody reaches out to this gentleman and lets him know how we feel about his service to the gun community.

Mr Beach, he shot right behind us at Mike’s on at least one round. He had a Piotti 20 that he shot very well.

Yes and If you remember Brett he was kind enough to give me some information on a Rem era 16 that he researched while in his hotel. I was surprised when he handed me the info the morning following our discussion, but that's Bob. What a gentleman.

I recieved a wonderful package from Mr. Beach on my Mannlicher-Shoenauer carbine. It even included details of the steamship that carried it across the Atlantic. Complete with a copy of the cargo manifest that showed the exact location of the crate in the ships hold. Absolutely amazing. I was glad to be able to thank Mr. Beach in person a few years ago at Chuck Bishop's spring shoot. He is a true gentleman.

I got a book of information on my PHE 12 gauge from Bob. He is a tough act to follow
