No.....I'm not sure where he lives. He's in town quite often. From my dealings with him, he's usually a pompous ass.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Okay Mick. That’s funny although if being on the receiving end of pomposity I would be inclined to probably do an exit stage left….. even 😼

According to his Facebook page he lives in Cave Creek AZ. About 3 1/2 hours away from Tombstone.

Sounds about right. Cave Creek is on the north east side of Phoenix. It's where the "well to do" live.

Just know one thing about Bob....he's always right and has never ever been wrong with anything.

Other than the rifle he had at the time of his death AFAIK it's not known. His rifle was an 1876 Model Winchester serial number 21896. It supposedly shipped from the factory on order #30868 January 14, 1882. There were approximately 40 model 1876 rifles shipped the same day to the same order number.  ALL of them were exactly the same;  sporting rifles, .45-60 WCF caliber, with 26" octagon barrels and full magazines. His was lost in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.

Interesting, I’ll have to see if I can find a picture. Who had the rifle in SF?

I can't find a lot on the rifle. Other than what I've already posted is that his rifle, pistol and wallet were returned to his family in San Jose. I suppose it was sold to a collector. I can't find a pic of his actual rifle.
