I was also was a member of the forum you speak of and had many of his postings but they were lost in my own PC crash. His greatest talent, IMHO of course was as an engraver and his pierced bolt knobs.. I still aspire to make one. I lack the welding talent but have access to a master and own a lathe.. I still lack only Jacks talent..

I think I do know whom your speaking about but fear Jack won't be back. I heard rumors that he had serious problems but wasn't able to verify. While he may have had some personal demons (don't we all?) he certainhly had a great talent for fancy gun work and for teaching. He is sorely missed here.

I guess i can say this and the names I heard somethings too about J B  Including out living off the land so too speak,
I say Chick Worthington's thats not spelled right? stayed in touch with J.B
or they seemed to be good friends
But I am worried Chick is no more he's the Guy who was the stock maker /Smith
Is that what you were thinking

Yes that's the name but the spelling doesn't look right. Unfortunately my memory is very suspect these days.. I miss any input from such skilled people..

Jack used to post as a regular on Accuratereloading. He went to ground several years ago & no one has heard from him.  Jacks' work was outstanding!  Absolute top quality.  I really miss his post.  I do hope that he is OK.
Try to look unimportant.   Your enemy might be low on ammo.

 Please rethink that post your a bit new around here and I think If you where here back then you too would agree to the
Censored Name
It wasn't good and it was needed I have to say, after that Big Fall-out things here got relaxed and much Better
If you look at the entire GBO site
Its a really informative,Very user Friendly and well kept

NOW back to Regular Programing I will go over and take a look at your Build
and Thanks to you and Others I'm sad and glad I'm not the only one missing Jack's posts
and not the Only one thinking his work is Genius

TommyT,

If you go over to Shotgun World Chic Worthing is on there lots of times on the Shotgun Reloding section.  He is the one you are thinking of.
Good Shooting,
George
