Great guy, excellent gunsmith and a loss to the double gun crew!!!!

He restored several Lefevers of the last 25 years for me and his work was second to no one.

On top of being a great gunsmith, I always enjoyed his turkey hunting stories in the LC Smith and Lefever journals. He always had a new gun he fixed up for each season

Buck was a true artist, he did it the right way. I've admired his work for years.
