Machinexl Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 He gave me a stern telling off once on this very forum! He ofcourse was right and i was wrong. Met him earlier in the year and bought something from him at Bisley. Very sad to hear of his passing. Rip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorj Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Having never had the pleasure of meeting the man , but had the pleasure of receiving my Bradley Arm custom last year, every phone call, every message was a pleasure indeed , straight shooter alright! Just the why I like them, couldn’t help enough , he had passion in him for this sport and will be truly missed , thoughts and prayers for his friends and family RIP Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlefraggle Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Mark’s Brother Jim and Sister Kathleen have asked me to specifically thank you all for your kind words. They know that Mark has a very different life that his family did not see so much of. There is no doubt that they are getting significant comfort from the knowledge that he was so fondly thought of by us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David TS Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Haven't used it for a while, but I shot my BAR .22 at the range last night. Needless to say the rifle shot faultlessly, and was admired by others on the firing point. I thought of Mark, with a wry smile. because when he built it about four years ago I finished it in olive green furniture, and he gave me a load of sh 1t about that the time! 😁 Respect where respect is due.

Bomag Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 RIP Mark, a genuinely decent guy who always had time for a chat when I saw him at Bisley. You will be missed by all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is very welcome to celebrate Mark's life with us. Wear what you like, but Bradley Arms apparel or anything shooting or biking related would be immensely well received! https://www.dignityfunerals.co.uk/funeral-notices/18-08-2019-mark-bradley/?ts=637021971374567137&fbclid=IwAR0ShqwqPgpSkIDJPOC4GUWWquL8rIxCC2IRa3LsDXwgcXyRYV7wB5SFwdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VarmLR Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 RIP Mark...this is so sad. He was a stoic man and an inspiration to others as he put things in perspective in his own unique way! I have, today, been diagnosed with an incurable illness. I just hope that I can take a leaf from Marks book although in my case, there is some hope.

I don't wish to de-rail this thread, but presently I don't know the prognosis...early days for me...could be a few years or a lot longer. Many thanks for your wishes.

RIP Mark, his posts were straight and colourful, I for one was always careful when posting questions or responses (yes in fear mostly) 😉 VarmLR, just keep plugging away, keep a positive interest in the stuff you like and enjoy. Be a little selfish and treat yourself, as you know when shooting and reloading you end up so focussed your mind gets a rest from all the every day sh*t and worries. Plus being around shooting buddies is also great crack. All the best G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
