Very sad. I loved his articles with Jim.
Pete.
a clever man indeed, please pass on my sincere condolances to his family please.
I am very saddened to hear this. Mike responded to a wanted add I placed on here for a Park rifle some years ago. Upon calling Mike to discuss delivery of the rifle he very kindly sold to me, we had a lengthy conversation about air rifles and in particular about the rifles of John Whiscombe and harmonic dampening and the hammer effect. At that time I did not realise who he was and the input he had put into the development of harmonic adjusters on rifles-he just came across as another member of "our" great site with genuine passion and enthusiasm, another nice guy.
Rest peacefully Mike-my condolences to his family and all who knew him.

Never go off half cocked....
All lies matter
Very, very sad news. Such a shame when such a great man passes.
And, as a very close friend to you, Jim, I feel for you.
As per many sentiments above, will miss his technical contribution to the sport.
Condolences to all involved.
A very sad time.

I'm really sorry to hear this Jim.
Mike clearly had an intellect and understanding rarely seen in our sport - his death is a sad loss to the world of airguns; especially to those of us who crave knowledge of every intricate part of their function.
My thoughts are with you Jim, as well as his other friends and family.
Such sad news Jim, we have lost a great man
My condolences to his family and friends
Very sad news Jim, may he RIP , his articles were like yours interesting
and helpful

A very sad loss indeed and may I add my condolences to all his family and many friends.
Although I never had the chance to meet Mike in person, our spasmodic communications were a great source of inspiration and pleasure and my saddest note is not having had the chance to share a meal, a jar and good old boinger chin-wag!
RIP

May today be the best day of your life and all your tomorrows even better!!
