Has anyone heard of him, as I understand he built muzzle loaders in Arkansas in the 1980's and 90's? Thanks for your time.

I think he has been building more recently in Nevada.

Nevada? I think Joe Gondek is there too. Don probably remembers him too.

Kermit........boy, you are going back.   Met Joe at the old Daniel Morgan shoots down in Winchester, Va.    Haven't seen nor
heard anything about him in a long time.    If I remember correctly Joe built some Tulle fowlers........Don

He did indeed build fowlers, Don. Mine's an American pattern 20ga with one of your 44" barrels and one of Jim's locks. Still have it; itwas my first flintlock. I think he's posted on this forum within the last year or two.

J.T. lived in Beebe, Arkansas 20 years or so ago.  Made some fine flint double shotguns as cheap as dirt.  Shoulda bought a bunch of them.  Haven't seen or heard from him in a long time.  don't know if he's still building or not.
