Hi folks, been a while since I posted but I have a quick question. Yesterday I stopped at the local black powder shop and they had a William Powell in the "junk" barrel. I think there might just be some life left in the old girl so I am going to do a little work and see what I can do to bring her back. Other than a couple moderate patches of rust the gun seems to be in relatively good shape with very good wood although the action is froze up and I still haven't been able to open it up completely. Locks are very good. I did a search and couldn't find much information. Question,is there a table of manufacturing dates for William Powell? The serial number is 7072. Thanks, Jack
