Great craftsman and a great loss.
a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

All three of the aforementioned won't easily be forgotten, Danny, as their work lives on.
I was hoping a few more examples of Don's work on Webley air pistols might have appeared on this thread.

So sad. Steve Pope did a special HW80 for me 11 years ago and I have all the pictures of the production from start to finish. Even numerous photos of Don doing his thing on the action and barrel. I will treasure that gun forever. The result of two of the best in the business.
RIP Don!

Shaun and myself have just returned from Don’s funeral.
A lovely and very fitting service for our dear old friend who will be truly missed.
Continuing thoughts and sympathies to his family and friends.
