Buck Elliot, RIP

I regret to inform the forum that Buck Elliot, AKA Dave Behling has passed at 79 years.

I first met Buck on the old Sixgunner site many years ago. He was always a gentleman. He shared his knowledge of firearms and always had something interesting to share. I hate seeing his kind go, but as has been said, we are all traveling that same road.

Sad to hear of his passing. I've wondered what became of him as I saw nothing from him in a long time?

Very sorry to hear it. A man who had been there and done that. He had a wealth of knowledge and is real loss to our little community.
