	There is a rumor going around that John Taylor has retired. Is it true?

	I believe he posted a while back that he lost his shop and had to retire.

	I recall him saying he lost the shop, but don't recall him saying he was retiring? I got the impression he was looking for another shop and would be down until then.

	I recently bought a Ballard project gun from him and he told me he was not taking work anymore. This was a couple months ago. JMH

	Hate to hear that. John did a couple of jobs for me and I couldn't ask for any better. More talent, skill and knowledge lost to shooters. Enjoy your time John.

	I did retire, partly do to having been laid up for a while with a broken leg. Moved to be closer to family. If I get a new shop I may start in again.

	While I too wish Mr. Taylor all the best as his leg continues to heal and he retires, who should I now ask to reline a barrel? Bill Lawrence
