He was a True Southern Gentleman and as good of gun smith as you could find. A friend and myself took him out to the ballast piles in Sapelo Sound Georgia and he picked out about 3 buckets of flint for his rifles. I would have given just about anything to have had one of his guns built to fit me. I was lucky to have been able to shoot several of his flintlocks and if you could hold on site at 200 yards, you could drive a tack with it. I truly miss you Bob. BIGFOOTBIGFOOTnoreply@blogger.com
