    A nother place you might want to check with is the J.M. Davis Arms Museum in Clearemore Oklahoma. It has more then 20,000 firearms on display. I have been there two times and spent most of the day both times and did not see everything on display. I understand that they also have a large library open to the public on firearms for research. One of the things that I liked was the Cap Pistol display I think they have every cap pistol ever made. Brought back a lot of memory's.

    We are making progress, slowly. I'll be accumulating materials at the Forth next week. I now have scale drawings and a plan to reproduce the plates and crank. I need to find a suitable set of internals, but I have a plan that would allow me to do it with modern, easily purchased parts. The original coffee grinder had a rap that it wasn't very good at what it did. Would the SAC care if it was different inside as long as it looked authentic on the outside?

    With any luck, I might have something by the Fall Nationals.

    I'm only posting this to keep me on focus. Don't really know if anyone else is interested, but as previously mentioned, the board doesn't have a "like" button.
