For those wondering if it shoots as good as it looks, it truly does! I took it to the club last month and cleaned house on the trail walk— took first place with this guy pitted against a number of fellas with rifles.

Nice. Weight?

Barrel length?

 

[Flintlock Fellow]

I’m sorry, I can’t believe I neglected to list that information. Barrel is a 42” Bobby Hoyt (so you know it’s quality)! LOP is approximately 14”.

 

[Flintlock Fellow]

I’ve got quite a large number of .66 cal cast round balls (100 or more) that I’ll be including with this guy. I also have a four-cavity Marty’s mold (no sprue cutter) and .68 brass mold (just needs Lyman style handles) that will come included in the sale— a $200 value!

When this gun was first commissioned, it cost over $3,000.

Beautiful fowler, I wish you luck!

Do you have any info on how he finished the wood?

Do you have any info on how he finished the wood?

Sorry, I don’t have that info. I do know he used a mix of toning, stains, and different techniques to get that look. I’d recommend reaching out to him directly—he’s on Facebook and really approachable. I’m sure he’d be happy to share the details with you!

 

[Hatman/2nd line]

I'll try that, thank you!

Don’t miss your shot at this incredible smoothbore, folks! Functional art at its finest.

 

[MAPMFF]

beautiful

 

[Flintlock Fellow]

Still available, folks! I don’t expect it’ll last long at this price.

 

[Rothesay]

Beautiful!

 

[Flintlock Fellow]

I appear to have neglected to mention that this gun uses a Kibler fowler lock. Perhaps the best production lock on the market, and replacement parts are cheap and readily available, too!

 

[Flint62Smoothie]

Spectacular ... less the buiilder put the lock on the wrong side (for me) .

If I were RH'd, that be a 62-cal and I only wanted 1 musket (is that even possible?) well ... now THAT one would be it!

 

[Flintlock Fellow]

Oh, so you’re one of those freaks of nature, huh? Lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce? Back, foul creature! Back to the depths of your lair! Away with you!
