I am looking for information on the where-a-bouts of Ohio made long rifles by my Great,great grandfather David Leonard. Any help in locating them would be very much appreciated. Here is a website that we put together.davidleonardgunsmith.com. Thanks Ken

I am a personal friend with Kenard and have viewed his "Family Leonard Rifle Collection". I will vouch for him in his tiring yet rewarding hunt for "The Leonard Rifle".
These rifles are truly a hand made work of art, from a truly gifted craftsman. A gun maker for approximately 45 years with several, yet a limited number of rifles produced, with no way of knowing the total production made.

Thank you HS 58 ! I have spent 40 years searching for his rifles. I will continue to search. I know there has to be ONE more out there.

Post this on the muzzleloadingforum dot com. Much larger audience of traditional longrifle folks.
Also Americanlongrifles dot org.

Good advice here Feral American.
I don't remember for sure but I think that post's have been made there and it never hurts to refresh post's. IMHO!
