I only went in that place two times . I was told Townsend Whelen was a part owner at some point . An old guy who's gone now at one point had an 1878 Sharps that Whelen had rebarreled to 22 Bluestreak if memory serves that was the 22 Savage HiPower necked down to .224 from .228 and the shoulder blown out . I tried to buy that rifle several times but never did .
