RIP Kyle the Canolli
To all the old school members. I'm sure you remember Kyle. Kyle died 05/04/2017.
I do not have any confirmed details about his death. I apologize. Just thought I'd let the original members here.

Good kid, came over once to talk about guns, machining, and wanted to know what to expect in USMC Boot camp.
He was trying to get into good shape because he wanted to enlist in the Corps. He was about 19 at that time, time sure does fly.
Too many good folks gone is right, all ya'alls stop this, I'm tired of losing friends, family and loved ones, and that's an order!
I'm new to the group but, to his friends, he may have had here. that says something. there's a saying its old, its cliche... and, it's easy to find but I'll place it here.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
from what I see here he was a cherished member. I am saddened by your loss. I hope the healing finds you swiftly.
I remember how one time he scoop up 200 rounds of .44 magnum ammo for free not more then 30 sec after it was posted. I was right next to him, same day I bought my CETME from MadSpanard.
He could have written "The Art Of The Deal". I still think he had an alarm that would go off every time something was listed in the Trading Post! And he had his F12 key set to send "I'll take it"!

we used to joke all the time about whatever was for sale kyle would buy it. he wheeled and dealed with me a handful of times.
I remember that also. There was that running joke back then if there was a good deal, Kyle would be all over it.. Tophog said it best with, "The Art of the Deal."
I first met you (Requiem) at our first "meet and greet" which must've been back in 2009. I also met Kyle and his Dad, Gene10mm, Gehwermonkey, and many other good folks. I remember Kyle as being soft-spoken and kind.
The next time I saw him was at our 2nd NS gathering at that restaurant near Bass Pro. I felt someone grab my arm and he said, "Remember me? I'm Kyle, KyletheCannoli." I almost didn't recognize him because he lost a lot of weight and looked great. He was the same nice guy. . .
It's been a few years since he passed away, so we need to add Carey Barclay aka: "CAB" to this thread. Can't believe we forgot about him.
He had a great collection of AKs, including a few that were full-auto. He had been collecting them, well since....forever. Many of his toys were in mint condition, with amazing Combloc wood furniture. Pristine. Browse the "Official AK Picture Thread" and you might see a few pics, if they haven't been removed.
He was one of the most popular guys at our Nevada Shooters Group Shoots (when we used to have them back in the day).
My CAB story: He and I had a range day scheduled for BRPC where I was a member. This was gonna be !!!Fun times!!! cuz I was gonna get to shoot his full-auto AKs so I was giddy as a kid, so giddy that I forgot to check the range calendar. Dooh! Anyway, I drove myself and he followed behind in his car loaded with AK treasures. Half-hour from Hendo to Boulder. Time. Gas. Etc...
We get to the range, and I see all this traffic - including bus-loads of people. Yeah...Shot Show Media Day. Range is closed for the day. Dooh! Boy did I feel like a fool. Profuse apologies on my part. CAB was a good sport about it, though. But I was totally bummed.
People pass on, but they never really die, if you keep their memory alive. Even if it's something you wanna forget. :frown:
Just got word that we lost "Saladin"...........William "Billy" Stojack, passed away yesterday at his shop.
He was only 71, another good man gone.
We once had the same employer, knew a lot of the same folks, and worked in the same parts of the world at different times, but never met until he came to Pahrump 3 months ago to get his HAM license.
RIP Wild Bill.
He was on a number of other gun forums under the same handle, but didn't post very much on our site - "professional lurker" about sums him up.
I recall that folks sent him a bunch of their own Tavors so he could work on them prior to a training course.
Any insight as to why he chose that handle ("assignments" in the Middle East)? History buffs know that Saladin (Salah ad-Din) was a major thorn in the side of the Crusaders.
