Grumpa has been called home?

He was a fine old gentleman. I liked him very much. He contributed much to this forum. Had necking 32-20 down to 25-20 or 218 BEE down to a science.

I'll miss you Grumpa.

Prayers for his wife.

Yes, Salvation is very important, you don't return from hence you've gone.

I have a question though, is there a place on this forum, like "IN MEMORY OF..."? Seems like there should be.

I am guessing he had piles of inventory to be sold. In a few weeks for those who can use it to contact his family and buy the inventory? Might be helpful to turn the inventory (how does one otherwise sell it?) into cash. A lot better for them than throwing it into the trash.

Wow I was saving up funds to have him make me some custom brass, I have some he made for me in an obsolete caliber and now every time I use it I will remember the fine gentleman that made it for me.
I sure hope the family gives those of here first chance at this inventory, so we can get our last chance at his fine work.
condolences to the family and so sorry for your loss. Seems that so many knowledgeable people we need here are being called home.

Dang! A finer gentleman there will never be- He helped many of us keep our older firearms shooting by providing otherwise "obsolete" cases, expertly formed, at minimal cost. His word was his bond, never questioned. He set an excellent example for all of us, dealing fairly with everyone who contacted him.
I've used his cases for years, and regret that I never had the wisdom to "stock up" for this unfortunate eventuality.
RIP, Matt- you are missed already!
We are diminished-

I am shocked and sad to hear this. He was a great guy I first met while working on getting ammo made for a new (to me) .310 Cadet Martini. He was very helpful in working with me to thin the rims on some new Starline 32-20 cases so I could get up and running. Since I know those cases will last forever, I will think of him every time I shoot it.
