    BT members passing

    Friends it is with a heavy heart I have to break the news of one of our own's passing.
    member "Rotor" passed a few days ago.
    He was known on a couple other forums as John Ryan.
    This comes as a total shock as this news posted on his Facebook account by his family.
    I had known Johnny through the forums like I have known most of you here in the forum through the net.

    We had some exchanges of parts,information and a mutual appreciation for Battle rifles.
    John was just 5 years older than myself.
    I just wanted to pass this on.

    Wow, the BM59E he built is one of the reasons I got into them! What happened?

    His sister posted on his FB page about his recent passing due to his battle with alcoholism.
    He was 53.
    If I recall he just recently purchased a very rare Tim LaFrance built K-gun (short barreled M14 with a M60 gas system).
