Thomas F. Dornaus has passed away Tuesday the 11th 2014. I think he was 71.  For those who don't know of the name, he along with Michael W. Dixon were the builders/designers of the first 10mm guns...the Bren Ten.

Just thought I share this with you all who share the passion of the 10mm cartridge and guns...

One of his masterpieces...and its mine!  ;D

Sorry to see him go.  This was an interesting 'footnote' about the history of the 10mm, and the Bren in particular.  Thanks, for posting.

  It's always sad when someone passes but even more so when it's someone who had ideas and visions and possessed the drive and ambition to bring them to life.

RIP Mr Dornaus

I did not know that. An innovator, to be sure!
