Circa 1730 French hunting gun

[tg]

And last but not least a French Fusil fashioned after a de Chasse ordinare ( parts from TOW 44" Tulle set) from the town of Tulle, this and the others shwon are my last three ML's, have not been down to that few for many years, maybe it will improve my aim.(VBG)

How many guns have you built? That one is really nice too.

I've only done three from parts sets (with help) and several "in the whites" then the usuall dozen production kits way back when and I have re-done several used guns to trim down the wood and finish to suit my taste.I think the Fusil completed my journey it shoots as well as any gun I have ever handled and it hurts more every year to file and rasp so I will choose two from what I have left and focus on shooting more and tinkering less. Thanks again for the kind words, I researched the French gun for well over a year before starting the project, that was as enjoyable if not more so than putting the gun together.
