Abraham Nowlin and Seed Tick Rifle

[germgaz]

I am referring to an article posted by "by Timo on August 07, 2010, 12:39:39 pm". Abraham Nowlin is my great, great grandfather. All pictures of this rifle have been removed and I have tried, without success, to contact "Timo". Obviously, the family would love to know about this rifle and, potentially, purchase the rifle to keep it in the family. I have some nice articles on Abraham but no pictures of work or of any guns. Information would be greatly appreciated! Gary Kelb (son of B. Nowlin)

If you go over to the American Longrifles site and post a question about this rifle there might be someone who is familiar with it or actually has one in their collection.

Post on the Antique collectors forum of the site.

I haven't seen or heard from Timo in years. Good luck with your search.

Anybody still have contacts with him?  Lets see if we can help this feller out, folks!

I checked at a muzzle loader forum and the last time he'd logged on there was about 5 years ago.

I posted your question about the rifle on the ALR site, we will see what develops.

Shannon Walker said he talked to him a while back.
