The 16 is a traditional flintlock about 1760. I have an order for a .54 fast twist Rayl bbl. & a blue grouse steel action.  Pistol grip stock, a gun for western big game hunting, is tTaylor the fellow in AZ ? he makes nice under hammer actions as well..........Tom

John Taylor is out here in Washington state. You can google him. I think he DBA "Taylor Machine." His actions ARE nice--as is all his work.

always thought that double action trigger set up would be great for a shot gun.

Washington state is it ?  I lived for 10 years out in Forks, can't recollect seeing any vampires. did get a wife there.  Mech/Welder in log shops mostly.  Great place, more Elk, Salmon & Steelhead than people.....Tom

Forks? Big city, man. I lived in Camp Grisdale up the Wynoochee for three years and at Amanda Park for two. Miss the rain much? I do--sometimes.

I don't want to get off the subject but I want to ask Kermit sumpin..........
To start, you were living smack-dab in the middle of my old hunting area, when I lived in Shelton.
Shot a few Deer a little south of Grisdale, but north of Matlock, just before the National Forest signs, and I got one Cow Elk less than fifty yards off the west side of the Wynoochee River within walking distance of Camp Grisdale.

My question is.......I understand that Camp Grisdale has practically been over-run with wild Wild Boar in the past few years?
I looked for 'em for a couple of years, way back when, found all the places where they'd been, which Ray Charles could have easily found, even saw a couple rootin off in the distance in a clear-cut, but never one that was close enough to shoot at.

I understand there is some exotic plant that DNR has listed as endangered that simply drives those Wild Hogs "Hog-Wild" and when they locate one they tear up a few acres of good ground looking for another one.

Do you know anything about this story?

Oh, Miss the rain?  maybe in late August for a couple of days, but that's about it.
Shoes seem to fit better without having "web feet".
