Zutt-man Thank you, I am anxiously awaiting your response upon your review!

I love it! Congratulations, you are talented for sure! Beautiful rifle!

Gentleman, Thank you for all information provided, it has helped me immensely, and I think I'm ready to take the plunge! I think the Fusil de Chasse from Sitting Fox Is in my near future? Please read the thank you in other thread about the fusil de chasse as it applies here as well. Thank you...

Gentleman, Once again thank you very much! You had been very gracious with the information, and your experiences. I believe you have provided me with the information to get started. I just had to make a decision on which one to get. I'm leaning heavily towards the kit from Sitting Fox, and with...

Tenngun thank you very much for passing along your knowledge and experience. I appreciate it greatly.

Although it sounds like Pennsylvania Fowlers (full smoothbore) where made from full octagon barrels during the interested time period. I think I have it straight now!

Thank you to all for replies, you are giving me the information I am looking for. Another question is level of difficulty of building a kit from those companies listed above. I am not an experienced gun builder. On a scale of one to ten. With ten being high where would you rate the fusil de...

Thank you for all replies. My question may have been misleading, I apologize for that. I am in Southeast Michigan and recently joined the Lac Ste.Clair Voyageur which represents mid to late 1700's. I have a Pedroseli Brown Bess, but wanted a new smoothbore correct for the stated time period and...

What about the PC/HC of the octagonal smoothbore barrel as in Kiblers kits?

Tenngun, Thank you for your input, I appreciate it. Your rifle is a nice looking rifle, and very nice wood! Did you build it or buy it completed?

I am looking at purchasing a smoothbore kit gun appropriate for mid to late1700's. I prefer the octagon to round barrel. I'm looking at kit for fusil de chasse from Sitting Fox. I actually would prefer a kit from Kiblers, with all the positive reviews. However, I like the look and style of gun...

I am looking to purchase a Fusil de Chasse, and am looking for input on best one to get. I have been looking closely at kits from Sitting Fox, the barrels are 42" long. For those who have experience with the fusil de chasse, what company would you recommend? How is Sitting Fox to work with...

Flint lock turkey gun...... Brings the question to mind, How does a Brown Bess do on Turkey? I have only one smooth bore flint lock and am thinking about using it this year on turkey. Anyone have experience with Bess on turkey and load? Were I to try a load, I would start with the Sky chief...

Congratulations on your spike buck! My hat is off to you sir for punching your tag for the unrecovered deer. Far to many, IMHO, fail to do so.

Like the bibs too, I wear 'em all the time. Sure are comfortable.,...makes the rifle shoot more accurate!

That's right about weapons in school back in the '60's. I bought two different muzzleloading guns from my biology teacher. First was a kit built percussion pistol in .45 caliber, second was an 1847 Colt Walker I bought as a Christmas present for my dad. Times sure have changed!

My first Muzzleloader was a Antonio Zoli Zouave .58 caliber rifled musket. What I had really asked for, as I was about 15 yrs old, was a Flintlock Kentucky long rifle. I got the second muzzleloader the next year in .44 caliber..,....both still shoot well, having taken 2 deer with Zouave, and one...

Wish they were a "little" bigger, I'd buy them. Reckon if I went on a diet, I could make 'em work. Don't see that happening this time of year, for sure! Lol

That shot low and behind shoulder is the best you can get, given a broadside shot.
