simgre Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Just been informed from his other half, for those that don't know, Chris has been battling cancer recently and very sadly, lost that battle this morning. Chris traded as C and Shoot, in Folkestone. He was a talented engineer who turned his hobby into his living. Whether you were commissioning a full build costing thousands or change a spring costing pennies, he treated all of his customers with the same attention to detail and as if he was doing the job for a friend. You could never just "pop" into Chris's place... Shooting lost a talented gunsmith this morning and the world on the whole is a poorer place for having lost a genuinely nice guy...
