Chadwick

Some time back the name Robert Chadwick came up. He was a lock maker and gunsmith from Chadd,s Ford Pa. He was editor of a small magazine called ( The Muzzleloader) in 1963 1964.Said magazine was put out by the Grand National Association for the Preservation of Pennsylvania Rifle Shooting. Some of the directors were Hacker Martin,Reaves Goehring, Madison Grant,Roy Keeler. My guess is this was a small  organization similar to the NMLRA that failed.

There was some discussion of him a while back.  Back in the 60's I bought a couple of 13/16" pistol barrels from him and still have them in some of my first builds.  He had a very small catalog with some really nice items.  I sure wish someone like him was still around.  I think I heard that he was sort of forced out of business for selling complete kits or something like that.  I think Jim Chambers and Barbie split their businesses for a similar reason.
