Man, very sorry to hear this. Got to meet up with him a couple time on his trips to northern Wisconsin. Not to mention the fabulous work he did on a Savage 99. 🙏

Well crap. Big Al was a good dude. At least we all got to hold his Johnson.


Anyone have an obituary? Or what he died of?

My wife and I were talking about that. As soon as he drove up that year, you and I met him at his truck asking to see his Johnson.
