I'd like to see your positive evidence that Reilly made muzzle loaders. It's widely accepted - but not proven. That would be helpful Dustin.

And I've asked Gavin about that "Reilly" action and published his response. Because you see...there are 7 "actions" or "action kits" for sale in that auction.
-- Lot 143 - a T Bland & sons action casting
-- Lot 144 - Reilly 4 bore action
-- Lot 145 - Parts for a 4 Bore W Tolley action
-- Lot 146 - Parts for a 4 bore W. Tolley action
-- Lot 147 - Parts for a 4 bore Army-Navy action
-- Lot 148 - A pair of 20 bore actions for Henry Atkin type self-opening side-lock
Somebody is selling his collection and there is a story behind it. Why were they labeled like this? Is it from somebody's great-grandfather? Are there notes - written or oral history? You can post insults. I'll ask for the history from Gavin to try to understand who collected those actions and why,

Oh Dustin...are you now conceding that Reilly made guns in the 1860's?

And since you've raised this...I'm going to post both Boothroyd and Brown's entries on Reilly and will mark where they were wrong. I've discussed this with Crossed chisels and I'm on very solid ground....and I don't care who read the smoke signals...they're wrong.
