Barry was the fun half of the Iraqveteran8888 channel, a gun youtube channel that had many fun and informational video's.

He'd been fired about 4 months for some undisclosed legal troubles. Rumors were that he was going to jail. He had a heart attack on Saturday. This is there last GunGripes video, though they will still have some more other types of video's.

Such a shame. Apparently he had to confront a lot of demons outside the Moss Pawn shop (alcohol and domestic issues have been mentioned on one of the AR15 sites). I'd bet he found solace from his problems in the hobby of talking about and shooting guns. I loved the cut shells video (which is how my GP survived hunting through the Great Depression...great to see how he did that). The series on "Kitchen Table Gunsmithing" was hilarious. I also enjoyed their gun gripes and found their "New at Moss Pawn" product shows extremely informative. I like Eric but it'll never be the same without Barry. Next to Hickock45, one of my favorite channels. Barry could seem like an old school gun shop curmudgeon at times, but when he was in a good mood he could be informative (subject to one's own research) and especially entertaining. RIP.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm a huge Hickok fan too. I've been subbed to IV since he showed me how to get the Cosmo off my SKS.
