Shreckmeister:
In the article it states "If a line was drawn straight back from the top of the barrel to a point above the butt end of the gun, this line would not intersect the “nose” of the gun.  The distance from that line to the nose is known as the “drop”

To what point above the butt end?  Is it to the top of the buttplate?
 
This is a great reference tool and much appreciated!

wildcatter:
Great online reference and a great idea. I was able to use this to identify one of my rifles that I know has been restocked from that area. looking forward to seeing thisgrow over the years to come.

jdm:
Gentlemen,   Thank you for your hard work. I know it took quite a bit of time and research to put it together. This Will be a good reference in an area that needed it .   GREAT JOB!     JIM

Don Stith:
Good start on an area that needs more exposure. Some nice rifles  come from that area.
 I was surprised to see John Derr included and not Henry Mauger. Those two have many similarities . Somehow I never considered them to be from that region though.
 Any word on A. Daniels?
