    I haven’t thought of that, I just ordered it so when it gets here I’ll do that, thanks!

    I’m thinking about using those or the Fusil plans if I can’t come up with something.

    New England fowler plans

    I’m wanting to make a New England fowler from a burly cherry blank, I like the Chambers New England fowler but the barrel (.75 oct-rnd) I plan to use is too big for their stock. Does anyone know where I can find a pattern that’s similar to the chambers fowler? Or maybe someone that has their...

    Help choosing my first flintlock

    Been awhile, well I had surgery (arthoscopic) on my shoulder but the Dr thinks he may have to open me up, I'll find out on the 13th. In the meantime I'm thinking about picking up a lock or the stock.

    Which lock would be correct for an early Virginia style rifle?

    Well I went ahead and ordered a 38" .54 swamped barrel from pectonica. Not sure if I should get the stock or lock next.

    Would the 38" be historically incorrect for an early rifle? I'll mainly use this rifle for hunting but I still want it to be as historically correct as possible.

    Well I just got back from Tip's, all I can say is wow! Really glad I made the trip. Handled most of his rifles and think I've decided on an early Virginia style, with swamped barrel in .54. What I'm not sure about is the length, the 42" felt really nice but the the 38" felt even better :hmm:

    While I don't have any plans to hunt elk or bison I would like too, I do hunt hogs often, occasionally deer, and maybe coyotes when the opportunity presents itself :wink: I was really considering a .45 but I'm not sure if its strong enough for hogs? I don't hunt from a stand or blinds either

    I added the 54 and forgot to add the grains for it :idunno:

    Help choosing my first flintlock

    How would either 54 or 58 loaded for hunting (guessing 100 grn, maybe 120?) compare to a 12 guage with 2 3/4 target loads?

    Help choosing my first flintlock

    Well I'm 6'3" 240lbs, but my shoulders (among other joints) aren't the greatest after being 366 lbs since I 14 :redface:... so I'm really thinking about smaller calibers, would a .54 be punishing with moderate hunting loads?

    Help choosing my first flintlock

    Talk to me about felt recoil, I've shot a few modern .50 muzzleloaders, but never a longrifle. I still plan on shooting and handling some before I start buying parts. After thinking and sleeping on it I'm just going to stick with the longer length rifles in either .45 or maybe .50, and not hog...

    Yes sir I understand the there's a lot of work to do to get the kits finished, only part I'm not sure about, is drilling the holes for the pins.

    You are correct to assume that I'm new to longrifles... Tip is about a 3 hour drive for me, but if I'm ever towards Nashville I'll definitely try to stop by.

    Honestly the only thing I want different then a historically correct rifle is for the barrel to be a little shorter (36") and in either .54 or .58 Is the wrist on a Virginia style rifle strong enough to handle those calibers?

    Since this is my first build, I'm going to go with a precarve and do the inletting and dovetails myself. I've learned over the years to be patient and to take my time when it comes to building guns.

    Glad I asked, the "slender wrist" of the Tn style in a larger caliber might not be a good idea, (I didn't think of that) I'm starting to think a Va or NC style might fit the bill?
