R. G. Owen is a pretty well known name, at least by the folks who frequent this board. Correct spelling of his "barn's" location is "Sauquoit," which is about in the middle of NY, east of Syracuse. Steve Barnett has or had one of his shotguns. His guns are rare, well done and expensive. I believe he bought European, primarily Belgian, actions and customized them. Others can add details. There was also an article on him some time ago in the DGJ.
