Gunsmith Jerry Simison's shop auction
Came across this listing over on accurate shooter and thought a few of you might be interested in the items being auctioned:
https://www.recreationalsalvage.com/....asp?catid=367 According to the post's on accurate shooter, Jerry Simison passed away and all of his shop items have been put up for auction by this company. I am unfamiliar with the gunsmith who passed and the company auctioning his shop. |

Jerry built my 17-204 (1st one). he was going to do my second but his health was failing and he just was'nt up to it.
he was a good guy and fun to be around. |

Jerry built my first custom .17 Remington. He used a Shilen SS barrel, blueprinted the action, lightened up the trigger pull and did one heck of a good job!!! I don't have the exact shot count for the barrel, but I'm betting it was up in the 4,000 shot range or more and it was one very accurate shooter too.
I think Jerry was a competition shooter until he got real sick.

Did anybody take a look at some of the powders listed on the auction, primarily the Thunderbird powders in T-8208- T-322 and T-680. Any thoughts or info. would be great.
Thanks, Torgy |

usually sold for $10 / lb. in 8 lb. jugs when the supply dried up, ppl were paying crazy prices ($400/8 lbs) and hoarding powder much like the we just witnessed in the last few years 8208 shoots well in nearly all conditions so you don't have to change loads in varying temperature/altitude extremes that's why Jerry has so much T 8208 ... if I lived closer I would pick some up

It's a real shame the great guys die off too.
You'd think there'd be some way to extend their gunning life by at least twice or four times somehow. Lotta folks are gonna miss him.
