John was a top bloke and a great gun smith, I still have a 6.5*47 barrel from him that shoots very well.

Sad news indeed. RIP John, your assistance and knowledge in all things barrels and ammunition, I well remember, and is with me still, as is your sage advice when life was not going well for me.
Cheers
