Chambers English Fowler Completed!

[Buckskinn]

That is correct, it is steel. Don't know about the New England Fowler, but the Steel was available with the English Fowler kit.
Thanks for the complement.

Hi Buckskinn,
Forgot to ask...what did you use to blue the barrel and lock?

 

[Ponderosaman]

Oh, for Pete's sake! You know when I was soldering in on it crossed my mind, but for some reason I figured the heart shouldn't be upside-down... Ah, easy fix, I think I'm going to play with the bluing a bit anyway.

Just got done throwing about a dozen shots down the barrel, fun gun! Got reasonable patterns for first go around. This was at 30 yards with an oz of #7 and Skychief recipe.

I haven't filed the sight much but as you can tell, it's going to be a tiny little bump when I get through with it.

Careful, I have noticed pretty big differences in how my pattern moves up and down on the paper based on my powder/shot charge.

Oxpho-Blue. I rubbed the barrel back a lot more than the other Chamber guns I built to give it more of an English look, I guess. After taking it turkey and bear hunting it has taken on a very nice natural patina. When bear hunting I could watch it change from day to day even though it was cleaned and oiled daily.

Well done, nice. Enjoy.
