Jug choking an existing Fowler

[PGTMG]

I was wondering does anyone offer Jug choking service on a Fowler made by someone else. If so contact info for that company.

Lowell Tennyson in Iowa has done mine...details are at home but you could search this forum or google him up

CoyoteJoe does the best job I have EVER! seen on a smoothbore.
PT me if you would like to see results.
What he charges is horrible, cheap that is he should charge more.
:bow:

Here you go...give him a call and tell him what you've got, what choke you'd like, etc.

He'll probably ask you how thick the barrel walls are in the first few inches from the muzzle, so you might want to mic that before you call him.

One of the best $75 I've spent on muzzleloading

Thank you for your wisdom :bow:

Thank you for your wisdom :bow:

That might be a little overkill...I just passed on what I learned from my dealings with him...

A man named Longknife on this board did mine.

A VERY fine job.

His real name is Ed Hamberg.

You can just send him the barrel and he'll choke to your spec's. Imp. cyl, modified, full.

Another vote for CoyoteJoe. He just did a Tula Choke (aka "jug" choke) on my cylinder bore New Englander.

PT him - he's a member here.

I don't know if he charges everyone the same price but I can tell you I spent more to fill my VW Jetta with gasoline than he charged for the choking itself! Shipping both ways cost near as much. You can't beat that with a hickory rammer!

I have never met sombody who is so caring and thoughtful and helpful as YotieJoe I am very fourtnate to call him friend and brother.
I was over at he and his partner Gwen's house this weekend and he had just got your shotgun done and was going to the range to pattern it for you.
:bow: :bow:
He did my American fowler by TVM and it is now a turkey killing machine out to past fourty yrds.
It patterns 80 plus percent.
Not bad for a 62 cal smoothbore.
Now that is a true friend to all!

Ah shucks fellers, now you're embarrassing me. :redface:

How much would the "jug choke" effect shooting a PRB on a fowler? Best regards, Basset

 

[CoyoteJoe]

I've never done much shooting with ball from a smoothbore, always preferring a rifle for ball, but from my limited experience I don't think you'll get really great accuracy from a jug choked barrel. I can say for certain that my jug choked 28 gauge won't shoot ball like my .56 Renegade cylinder bore but the Renegade also has a much heavier and stiffer barrel, so that may be a factor totally aside from the choke.

 

[Greenmtnboy]

After Joe choked my smoothbore I did shoot one ragged hole at twenty five yrds with PRB but at fifty I coulden't keep in six inches.

 

[Dausener]

Greenmntboy, I'd think 6 inches at 50 yrd would be pretty good... wouldn't it???

 

[Greenmtnboy]

A lot can happen in a hunting situatuation and I would perfer tighter groups.

 

[Dausener]

Very true, I've not yet fired a smoothbore so I don't know what sort of accuracy to expect with a PRB. Best regards. Basset

 

[Greenmtnboy]

I have seen open cylinder bore shoot MOA at 50 yrds.
But not by me.
:thumbsup:

Watch the guys like Tom Henley (lives two towns over) firing the Miquilet round at the Internationals. Smoothbore flintlocks fired offhand to 50 meters - the "10" ring is 80mm - about 3-1/8". And these guys are getting 95 to 98 scores! That's 10 shots in 3-1/2" with muskets like reproduction Charlevilles.

Does anyone have an up to date email for coyotejoe? The system email doesn't work.

Sorry about the outdated email address, I thought I had changed it but it seems to have somehow reverted to the old one. Our phone service was too archaic to provide reliable electronic connections so I had to switch to satellite, try this one:
