Rob,
What is the unusual multi-barrel swivel rifle in the photo with the blue shirt, car hood, and porch in the background? Do you have any other images of it or any more information on it?

It’s a very unique four barrel swivel. I have more photos.

It's neat to see the diversity in his work, since all are percussion era rifles with commercial parts, when most gunsmiths' work was becoming more routine. He sure liked extended butt plate heels... I bet they really stuck in the ground and didn't move when set down butt-first to load!
