thanks loyalist! thats some great info right there

good idea sir, had not thought of that

does anyone know where to find material for a lightweight tent? I am only looking for a piece of tight cotton approx 8x8. I do not want canvas. I ahve Heard that egyption cotton works well. I really dont think bed sheets from amazon are what I am looking for lol

just my two cents, but I have always subscribed to getting the biggest caliber you think you will need.if you need a 24...get a 20. that being said. typically 20 bore makes the lightest barrel from commercial made stuff in my experience...

i would say that the a brass but plate is no less durable than iron...when was the last time you saw someone wear a hole through a brass butt plate?

I feel the same way about that trigger guard dave. This gun is strictly for hunting, everything i am doing is mainly based on the fact that It will be a hunting gun first and formost. I like to be able to get a good solid grip when I shoot and the rifle trigger guard fills mu hand perfectly! It...

MSW, if you look there were indeed guns that had a mix of both brass and steel parts. I tend to lean towards the less traveled road in things I do . and you don't often see mixed parts so I figured why the hell not lol.

that rifle is beutiful to be sure....buuuut I regret selling almost everygun ive ever sold to fund another...ive decided to just save pennies

i was at someones shop and they built a rifle from jim kibler almost identicle to yours....buuuuuut they live just outside of NY...but i wasnt sure

is this the same rifle I got to hold yesterday?

Dave, I agree with you. The brass guard was my original choice however since this is just going to be a gun....of no particular background I thought the iron trigger guard gave it a little more panache...plus the whole purpose of this gun is to build something......different. the but plate is...

this is just a representation of a gun that would have been cobbled together from existing parts. Yes that is the trigger guard im going to use.... well that one or the brass one underneath it lol. this really isnt supposed to be a representation of anything specific. As you can see we were...

Well I stopped my LGS today after being contacted to come and see what He had been working on. Had to hammer out a few small details. And My fowler build is coming along nicely.

just my two cents, I wouls reccomend gettingt he lock checked out.. Dave person here on the forum did my lock....while it sparked good before when it returned it was 100% better. he was also able to fix a few small errors and somethings were just too far poorly done to fix at all. and this was a...

i checked out the cookson fowler and I really like the style. I already have a new england fowlwer being built, so I was thinking of maybe going with a fudil de chase, however ..I reaslly really want a round faced/ queen anne style lock ...I dont have any and I think they are simply beutiful

OK, I have almost paid off my current fowler being built and I am now planning another build. I am thinking I want to go in the direction of very early 1700....civilian fowler. Can someone throw me some suggestions as I am not familiar with this time period as im still learning about the later...

Honestly I ahve no idea why...but I have alot of manilla, sissal and hemp rope laying around. So if I dont ahve to spend money ....well eventually I can buy another gun

I was sitting on the couch staring at a pile of manilla rope. And I started wondering if it would work in place of tow? Has anyone ever tried this? I have already broke the manilla starnds from rope in to a big pile of fluff....I even spent a while beating the strands over a wood sawhorse! Just...

do you have a pic?? of this moster?

Bill, this is the first gun that ive ever owned that can eat any load....with no adverse recoil. I've fired from 50-100 gr of powder and every time the recoil is most pleasant.... At 100 its firm....but completely , wonderfully managable...A true testiment to the design of the stock....
