"Hi Dave?... It's Mike, Dafadda on Cotep. Got a question on M1 Garands."
"Sure Mike, what can I help you with"... What ensued was at least a 45 minute conversation about everything you could imagine on an M1. Throat erosion, barrel wear, CMP, gas ports, ammo and more than I could possibly think of now. "Thanks Dave!" "Call me anytime Michael"

Dave is the reason my SHTF rifles were switched from M1A's to the PTR platform. I was on the fence about switching, we batted it around and he finally agreed that the HK clone was the way to go. I asked quite a few old Marines after that, 100% agreed with Dave's logic. So, this makes Dave partly responsible for me owning the SCCR1000 rifle. Some of you may not know that the SCCR1000 rifle is the only rifle in the world from PTR Industries with the "SCCR" designation. Less than a week after taking possession of SCCR1000 I decided that it would remain unfired, and would be donated to be raffled off to help a person or family in need. The needs of that person or family had to be caused by illness. Being that "SCCR" stands for South Carolina Commemorative Rifle it is likely a raffle will do best up in South Carolina. I don't know when this will happen. Probably after we move back to South Carolina. But Dave will be in the story that goes with the rifle.

Wasn't just guns Dave had knowledge of...
One of my best conversations with Dave was after I had mentioned I just got a nice multi-purpose guitar amp for christmas, Dave pipes right up and says "Line 6"? Hit the nail right on the head as I grabbed a Line 6 Amplifi 75. The ensuing conversation went from discussing Fender/Gibson guitars, and a whole host of artists and bands that were his favorites and mine... Was always a great pleasure catching Dave online, and having a great chat, one of the main reasons I dedicated that small piece of guitar plucking to a man that meant a lot to many, myself especially, as he made me feel like part of this COTEP group with one of my first friend requests shortly after I joined... Miss ya terribly Dave, may you rest in peace dear friend! -scott

When I started reloading, I was having trouble setting up my dies. Dave said "call me".
I did. In 5 minutes flat he had me within .002 of here I needed to be. All this without seeing my dies or press
