Saw that too. I sent him an email (and I am afraid 200 other people have done the same). He is one of the certified good guys in the biz and we sure do hope he is ok. I'm sure if he needed anything he would find overwhelming support in the AG community.

Let us know if  you need help, Mike.  You've done much for us as a group, more than you might ever know.

All he needs is a good day of 'Catfish lipping.' No not with a rod and reel. You go to the pond and throw out some fish feed and when the catfish come up...... You shoot them in the lips.

..good for him. It's not like he hasn't earned himself a little vacation time with all his work on people's guns and his contributions to airgunning in general. If you're reading this Mike, stop, log off, kick back, and crack open a cold one

Yea, though I walk through the garden in the shadows of pests,
I will fear no squirrel: For thou art with me;
thy scope and thy trigger, they comfort me.

I talked to Mike last night and then called Howie1 the problem is not that Mike closed for the time being the real issue is that whoever planned to buy an air rifle from Mike lost the opportunity

it's not what you can do for Mike but what Mike has done for the air gun community and trust me Mike is known all the way from the USA, China, India, Canada, and other corners of the world always helping everyone and giving you the best product for the money

luckily I have 4 special made air rifles from him and with his  superior tunes, he will come back but in the meantime all he is doing is tuning air rifles not selling them

You can add the UK to that little list as well. He's helped a few of guys over here out in the past, and we're grateful for it too. Best wishes to yo Mike, whatever you're up to.

Mike posted this on another website...

"I'm OK...I just have a minor finance snag that needs to get worked out. Thanks for all the concern...would have put something on the site but didn't think everyone would be so worried. Thanks,,,,,"

Looks like he's clearing out some stuff...check his site.
