John Mullins from New York

Has anybody heard/read of the gunsmith John Mullins? I saw a halfstock in a sale with his name on the barrel (additionally "New York") and on the lockplate.

John Mullin, New York, N. Y. also J. & P. Mullin

Listed in Ned Roberts The Muzzle-Loading Cap Lock Rifle pg. 429.

Only listed in the "partial list of old-time rifle makers", no additional information.

 

John Mullin worked with his brother Patrick. Their guns are very highly regarded and are of the best workmanship although typically quite plain. I have a John Mullin New York 8g sxs. The craftsmanship is wonderfull. There are people with quite alot of knowledge on the Mullins here[url] http://www.gunshop.com/[/url]
