Smooth bore metal finish
The majority of American fowlers would be browned . On orders for N.W. trade guns , this order in 1780 they ask for half the order to have blued barrels the other half to have browned barrels . Late 18th and early 19th you see blued barrels mentioned .- Rob M.

A fowler for round ball accuracy
On thinner barrels it can be an issue but the vast Majority of barrels are too thick and heavy anyway ,compared to original trade guns which are very light , so ....you can dovetail for a rear sight . I think the rear sight really helps a lot . Ive seen it in action at many shoots. For old eyes...- Rob M.

Stock Finish Other Than "Brown"?
Always have a test piece or two and try some different things and see what you like ....or under the buttplate if no test piece . I just love the natural wood color , most of the time , so its easy for me .... Shellac or varnish coats ....DONE ! :) I sure love walnut for my trade guns ....- Rob M.

A fowler for round ball accuracy
.... :) Ken Netting barrels . You shouldn't use them though , the metallurgy is all wrong according to M De Land on here so they are death traps . Dont use any Wallace Gusler forged barrels either . Hand forged wrought iron is even weaker ....- Rob M.

Modern shotgun barrel conversion
A few short N.W. guns I've made from barrels that were originally going to be cartridge firearms ... I should have checked with M. De Land and seen if the barrels were safe to use first . They will probably all explode and maime or kill the shooter ... Man ! He is SO smart !!- Rob M.

Modern shotgun barrel conversion
Not very modern but was going to be a cartridge shotgun barrel , double barrel . Ive used many of them to make shorter N.W. trade guns . I just breech them , square side of breech goes down , then the usual ...put the flats on at the breech , rings and stamps at appropriate spots , barrel...- Rob M.
