So unfortunate…

Brad was the best and a good friend of ours.

The quality of work was sub par for a while before Brads passing and now… well, nothing. From what I know, nobody can get their guns back if they had them there.

Unfortunately Lori Bacheldor passed away April 9th after a short illness. Neither of the boys were involved with the business anymore and as others have said it was a shell of what it used to be. With Lori’s passing I’m not sure what will happen to the business. Very sad.

The SASS FB page reported on her passing, and that those that had work/guns there would be contacted in upcoming weeks. Sure hope that happens.

I remember the good days of Bachelder’s and the high quality of their work before Brad passed.
It is truly a sad ending to his legacy.
