No matter what style appeals to you, a first question that should be asked about any kit, parts set, or barrel for a fowler project should be, “What does the barrel weigh?”

If it is to be an upland wing shooting gun, you want a barrel that weighsunder 4 pounds. If an all-purpose smoothbore, or a turkey gun, or a round ball plunker then a heavier barrel may be desirable.
 
My 12ga was from a stock blank with the barrel inletted and ramrod hole drilled by Fred Miller, he is no longer in business, Knob Mountain took over his patterns.

I wanted to learn how to inlet as well and did the rest by myself. I got my lock from Chambers and everything else from TOW except for what I made, like the trigger plate and trigger.

Thanks for the advise @rich pierce
 
Brad Emig at Cabin Creek Muzzleloading has a nice Colonial American Fowler kit. He is very easy to talk to and is very helpful.
