    I never got to know Frank but have seen plenty of pictures of his collection.

    It is a sad loss to lose an air gun enthusiast of this magnitude.

    I hope there is provision for the air rifles to go to a museum or is maintained as the collection now stands.

    I don't like saying r i p so I'll just say.

    May all your pellets now have angel wings Frank.

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

    I've just seen this post on another airgun forum:

    i`ve been involved in the selling of Frank`s collection. They`re sold to different people. On the Dutch airgunforum there has been a topic in wich his guns have been sold. One of Frank`s friend has sold a lot of `m. Next er rto that they`re being sold on the internet on some second hand site. For as far as i k ow now most of `m are sold now.

    Frank helped me out with specs and such with a few air rifles that I or Jeff were working on. Like many, I knew Frank from the pages of air gun forums, never on a personal level. I gauged that he was as true in person as he was on these pages. Truly a man generous of spirit.

    R.I.P Frank and my heartfelt wishes for healing to all his family and friends.

    From the news in your post Danny, I can only assume that his wishes were that his collection be offered to all enthusiasts and not become the exclusive possession of only a few.
    Consistent of a man generous of spirit.
