Passing of two Gun reviewers - montana - 01-29-2017
Richard "Mack" Machowicz and Peter Kokalis of Solder Of Fortune magazine have recently passed away.
Mack was on Future weapons with Bill Alexander and the 6.5 Grendel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haqXE8nq3io
Peter Kokalis of "Soldier Of Fortune magazine" was one of the few reliable information sources for military small arms in the 80's and 90's. The rate reducer for the AKM was dispelled many years ago by him as an anti-bounce device for the sheet metal receiver AKM. Many today, "even experts" mistakenly still consider it a rate reducer.

I cut my teeth on Kokalis and Ken Hackathorn while in high school. I was way over my head but love reading their stuff. Time waits for no man...

Sad days. We need more guys following up behind them for decent Mag articles.
