J-BAR #18287 Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 I learned late last night that Ken Buckingham, known to us as Fingers McGee, passed away yesterday, Wednesday, October 16. He had been in hospice care with Parkinson's for some time. He was a dedicated Frontiersman and always ready to share his expertise in black powder firearms. We are diminished. 1 21 Quote

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 RIP Fingers Mcgee. I shot with this fine Gentleman many times over the years. He was always smiling and liked to share knowledge about shooting cap & ball. Remember when he said he was hanging it up and not going to shoot anymore. This is a sad day. My condolances to his family and friends. 4 Quote
