TennMike has passed
Our friend Mikel passed this morning, according to his nephew on Facebook. Mike was an incredibly bright engineer, veteran, and willing to share his knowledge with everyone. I considered him my friend. He fought lung cancer bravely these past two years. Rest in peace Mr. Newman.

R.I.P. Mike.
Amazing how strongly you can feel for someone you only spent a couple of hours with. RIP brother and I'll see you at the range in Heaven! Save the table next to yours for me...

My prayers go out to his family. The world will never be the same without him, but is in far better place for his presence.
Godspeed Mikel!
Rest well, Mikel. You are missed.

Several years ago after talking about it for some time, I brought a single shot 20 gauge shotgun to a SE Shoot. He broke it down and said I only need the top half, so we wont need a FFL for me to ship it. I went home with half of a inexpensive shotgun. A couple months later a round tube arrived and I put the barrel on what used to be a single shot shotgun. I was then and am still the proud owner of what I have called the
TennMike .357 mag single shot rifle.
The action is strong enough to handle any .357 mag load one could make.
It has only killed one hog. But I could hear his smile when I told him about it.
I think I will make up a tag to put on it, so the kiddo will know about who made it when I am gone.
