Although I am guilty of not posting to forums very often, I felt I had to say something about the passing of Felix Bedlan.

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Felix (#12L) in the latest issue of “The Winchester Collector.”  I first met Felix in the early Sixties at a Colby (KS) gun show and enjoyed frequent encounters with him over the years since then, both at other early Colby shows, Tulsa shows and his shop in Fairbury.  

The gun collecting World has lost a true Gentleman and great collector.

Rest in Peace, Felix
