I remember his spreading out his large charts on the floor of my hotel room at the OGCA and explaining his rationale. It has held up remarkably well after 30+ years. He did the first real research on the LL guns and unlocked the heat lot system after interviewing a couple of SA metallurgists. We called him "Chuck Thorough" because he was so meticulous. He eventually focused on his first love, the .45 pistol, a wrote the book that became the bible. Quite a guy, we all owe him.
He is an amazing guy. I have not seen him for a while. I did hear that he was working on a reference for the Mosin Nagant rifles, which was a huge surprise for me. That may be a rumor but the source was a good one. Anyone else heard that? Hopefully he is well.
