I was fortunate enough to win the auction for the John Sheets rifle, John is my 5th GG Father.  Once I get it in hand I'll get better photo's and figure out what has been done to it. Even if the name on the barrel was the only thing left from John I'd still be happy to get a piece of family history.

Congratulations on recovering a piece of your family heritage. There are extremely few people on this forum that can say that.

Congratulations.  Glad to see it return to family hands.  That makes it a special family heirloom.
