First smooth bore on the way

[curiousgb]

I won a bid on Gunbroker. So I have a new to me smooth bore on the way. Looking forward to learning about smoothies.

Tell us a bit about what you are getting. We would like to hear about gauge, barrel length, style, lock, species of wood in the stock and maker.

How do you intend to use it?

This is from Gunbroker. 62/20 English Fowler. Think the barrel is 36 in. J.Brown engraved on the barrel. Will probably hunt with it. My wife is a park ranger she will use it in living history programs.

Nice looking piece! I just got a Pedersoli 1766 Charleville musket. My first Flintlock and smoothie!

Jackie (Brown) makes a well regarded firearm. You should be well pleased with it. He does a good job of tuning up the locks for use and it should prove to be a gun well suited for demonstration.

Congratulations! I learned a lot here. Let us know how it goes. Someone will help if you need any. Best of luck!

I had one of Jackie's fowlers a while back. It was the most reliable flintlock I have ever owned and shot.

I bet you'll be pleased with that gun. Congrats on the purchase.

Well duh. For some reason J Brown didn’t translate to Jackie. I went his home once to look at a rifle. Fine gentleman.
