One of the Greats, a Czech mechanic, Hans Jiricek has passed away. Jiricek left his Czech home & immigrated in Vienna to apprentice at Springer(JSE) in 1944 where he witnessed the horrific thumb of the Nazis. Hansi Jiricek hung out his stocker shingle in 1957 & remained an independent Stocker till his retirement. Another of the Greatest Generation that has left us...

Alois Jiricek, the Grandfather of Hans Jiricek, was born in 1871 in Raczice, Czechia and moved to Imperial Vienna. Otto Jiricek, Father of Hans, was born in Vienna in 1904 and also Hans Jiricek was born in Vienna 26 years later in 1930. None of his family, ancestors nor descendants, were in the craft of gunmaking. Hans' specialty was in stock repair, specifically in stockbending and broken stocks where he employed the >>tongue & groove<</„Nut und Feder“ method. With the passing of Hans, this truly marks the end of an era.
