Is it recorded or written anywhere on what specific day (April 1850 or
1851) did he discover the historic pass thru the Sierra Nevada Mtns
during the California Gold Rush?

Haaaaaa.... I hope it doesn't take that long! The way things are going, it'll
be against the law to own one by then. Actually, I'm gathering all the parts,
and have a copy of Brockway's "Recreating the Double Barrel Muzzle Loading
Shotgun" (impossible to find now) but, think I will have LaBisquee do most of
the work.

Ron runs/owns Morningstar Arms down in Scio, Oregon. I don't know how long
he's been at it, but I think his first rifle won "best of show" for a new
gunsmith at the Oregon Gun Builders Fair awhile back. He's very handy....
I asked him if he wanted me to put his name out, and he said he was swamped
with work already, and it may take awhile to get to some new projects. Here's
his number (evenings) 1-503-394-2516 If anyone really needs him to do some
work, he can be fast talked.......at least it worked for me....<G>

Subject: MtMan-List: odd double barrel?
I just picked up another set of "twist" 12ga barrels on the cheap. What's
interesting about them, is one barrel has a distinct, but somewhat faint, set
of 12 flats inside the bore for the entire length! Can't say I've ever seen
anything like it before, nor do I know why it would be that way....any idea
boys? The other barrel is appears normally smooth....
