Realizing Fowler is a shotgun first… what can you expect with round ball in accuracy? I’m thinking of getting one…. A local gun shop has a nice .62 for sale.

can you post a photo of the entire rifle?

Always a first. Otherwise the rule of adding a piece of paper with your name and date in a photo with the item wouldn’t have been a rule.

The response above yours had it sold last October….

Yeah… kinda crude…. Tell you what.. send it to me because I’m kind of a crude guy. LOL All kidding aside…. That is a phenomenal looking horn!! Great job!

this is what I use for both cleaning and patch lube. Been using it for years and works great for both. i saw someone post about it doing something to blueing? My rifles are all browned but im not sure if that matters. Anyway I’ve never had an issue with it doing anything to the finish.

Personally I’m all for their rules. They can’t change it on the fly. I’ve been on the opposite end of that. Some years ago when there was a run on reloading supplies like there is again but before they put limits on the amount…. I drove an hour and a half to get to cabelas when I heard they...

I used to do that too.. send the item while waiting on payment…. Got burned twice. Never again. One was a check that bounced. The other never came. I finally got the bounced check fixed. I’ll still take a personal check… but you will wait till it fully clears my bank. Honestly…. Same with...

What a nice looking rifle that’s going to be! I’m excited for you! Looking forward to seeing it as you progress!

You certainly have talent! Those look amazing! Thanks for posting this and the how to!

Unless the seller actually told you he doesn’t ship to Alaska… which I have no idea why… I think you’re reading more into it then need be. Lower 48 is an old school thing to say if someone doesn’t want to sell overseas or even to Canada. Doesn’t really eliminate actual states. The proper way...

I have a pair of 1860s I use for cowboy action. I have a Uberti and a Peitta….. both great guns. The Uberti has a better finish to me. But I love the 1860 in how they point naturally for me. I have an 1858 but hardly shoot it. The 1860s do have some cap issues…. But there are things you...

Very nice!! Great work! A couple questions if you don’t mind. What weight cowhide did you use. And do you glue in the canvas liner before sewing? Ive done lots of leather work…. Mainly holsters and knife sheaths but never made a shooting bag. I’m contemplating making one for myself. Thanks!!

Great looking rifle! And good shooting! I have one just like yours. I bought it as a kit back in the early 80s and still have it. I have two other CVA kits I put together back around the same time. A .32 squirrel and a flinter .45 Kentucky. Still have them all.

I have a CVA Kentucky perrcusion pistol ive been thinking of trying this on.

Wow! That came out amazing!! Great work!! I built a few CVA kits in the early 80s…. I’ve been redoing the stocks on them. But now I see I have to step it up a notch! Yours is superb!

Uh…. Yeah… I’m not sure what you’re ramblings about… but I still don’t see how the two piece stock has anything to do with humidity or sliding…. Maybe try some decaf next time.

I actually think the two piece stocks (same as the old CVA kits) were more for packaging. Less wood to stick out and possibly be broken.

I have one of each. A Pietta and Uberti. I like them both. I think the Uberti has a better finish and the stock is shaped a bit different. But they both needed to be smoothed internally somewhat. I’d get either one again if I had to do it over again.

This thread has gotten me interested in making a bag for myself. I’ve been building and tooling leather for years…. But mainly western holsters etc. for cowboy action. Just for me or family…. Anyway I don’t see why I couldn’t make a bag. Ok… next project!
