[/QUOTE] he bought the barrels for $200.00 ea[/QUOTE]
And this my friends is why I think it's very important to make sure you share with a family member or loved one what your collection is all about and what it is worth and document (through a will or other legal instrument) what you want done with it when you are no longer with them. I had a close call last April (Heart Attack & Stroke) and believe you me - my brother and girlfriend know what to do with my collectibles next time I'm not so lucky. R.I.P. Yoshi |

"Maybe we could build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh? Why don't we try that?"

That is very sad. Yoshi and I corresponded some, and I always enjoyed his sharing of knowledge. He had a beautiful polished frame. The unfinished stippled frame came from me as I sold it to him (or I sold him one, he had another I think). I got it from Walter Sanford. It's a small world. Way too young.

A couple more pics of the bbls in question. I do believe the one is a "Bob" barrel.

Many years ago, I made Yoshi a pair of AR-15 uppers in .357 AMP and 44 AMP. I was a bit surprised that I did not hear from him when I made the .375 AMP recently. Now I know why.
Yoshi was a hell of nice guy. Tony Rumore Tromix |

Our gun club just had a presentation on Estate Planning and your guns. I was not able to attended but it may be offered again.
When I think of all the stuff I have acquired the last 45 yrs of shooting, I am mad at myself for not cataloging it. Has anybody else talked to an attorney about your gun estate? Gerry

Well I never knew the man but am saddened by his passing. I loved his website and found his Auto Mag Buyer's Guide very helpful when I decided I 'needed' one of these wonderful firearms.
Thanks Yoshi. |

At the request of the owner, I am posting a few things for bid on Gun Broker, starting with two barrels. The Bob Barbasiewicz and a rare Harry Sanford signature bbl (not Signature Series) fitted with a Weaver scope.
