I'm very sorry to hear of Nick's passing. Nick performed some repair work on a couple of my guns six or seven years ago He was always super to deal with and did top notch work. I later picked up a custom bolt gun that he created. I called him to get some details on the gun, and following the call, he graciously sent me some pictures of my gun being exhibited at what looks like the Safari club show a decade or so earlier. He also included a trade label which was really a cool touch.
I didn't know Nick well, but all my interactions were really good ones. I will miss him.
