It has been years (early 70s) since I have seen him. I know that he married a woman that was into making jewlery and they got into that fairly heavy. He may have quit the longrifles way back then. We had a good source of parts in Pittsburgh at Antique Gun Parts, but I believe that they are long gone also. There was an older fellow close by where I lived that made longrifles also. I believe his last name was Sutter.
