I went to Kempton last week and looked around at the various vendor's tables. Jim Chambers had ball bags and bag spouts for sale. I thought about buying a complete bag but ended up buying a spout and stopper. I figured that I would try my hand at making my own. I bought a 3 pound bag of scrap...

I really love the look of that musket. Probably one of the nicest sporting conversions I've seen.

Clean it up and shoot it. If it doesn't group well, buy a reamer and make it into a smooth bore. I have an old Dixie PA rifle kit that would never shoot round ball consistently. I purchased a hand reamer and cut out the poor excuse of rifling. Took me a while but now I have a small bore shotgun.

Thanks for sharing the video with us Jim. A fowler is on my list of things to have.

Greetings from Lancaster, PA

Very handsome set.

Interesting architecture on the last one pictured. I am certainly not an expert but I don't remember seeing the wrist contour continued so far into the butt stock.

Glad you could finally get to own one.

Truly a work of art.

M y apologies. The moderators can delete the thread.

I made the post before I actually looked at their site. I was taken back at the price.

I thought that I would post the link for a .54 cal Haken rifle that is listed on River Junction Trade Co. site. I get weekly emails from them and this was todays. I have no connection with the company other than purchasing a shoulder holster for a S&W revolver in the past...

It would be very easy for a builder to silver solder a hand made brass or steel sight on the fowler barrel. All you need to do is use your imagination to create one or search pics of originals.

A fowler would be nice to add to my collection.

Any range report on this build Dave?

Thanks for all your responses. I kind of suspected that practices would be all over the place. My rifle has a vent liner and has pretty fast ignition already. I am going to try "picking" before priming during my next session. I doubt that I will notice much of a difference but why not give it a try.

Looks good Treeman. You're quite the artist ;) t

Hello Gang This may sound like a silly question But I'm going to ask it anyway. I've been shooting flintlocks since the mid '70's. I have not really utilized my vent pick unless I happen to have a flash in the pan while shooting at the range. I saw a video in which the shooter used his vent...

Congrats on a good da in the woods. Nice variety of critters.

Beautiful horn Pathfinder.
