Let me see those smoothies

[StarnesRowan]

Hey guys just want some pictures of any smoothbores and fowlers you got. Need some ideas for my next build

 

[Norman Brooks]

12 gage Colerain barrel and lots of Kibler parts...

 

[Hatchet-Jack]

Chambers PA Fowler 20 bore.

 

[Rató:rats]

20 ga TVM

 

[lexington1]

How about a couple of German smoothrifles?

Between long guns and pistols I have about a dozen smooth bores. From your post I assume you want long guns. Here are a few.

CVA 12ga Hawken style

A Beretta O/U 12 gauge


Or you could do something a little different like my 11ga Calvary Carbine

All kidding aside, I suspect you're interested in something like this
A 20ga trade gun made by Jackie Brown.
Iron furniture and a Queen Ann lock. Hands down my favorite smoothie gun.

Good luck

English Fowler, 20 Bore.

Here are mine, both 20 ga/62 cal. The fusil I just got, not sure who the maker is. The bottom is my old standby, I traded a parker hale muskettoon for her and have never regretted it. The rear sight only went on the gun because the front sight became a problem to see. Always was my favorite gun to shoot

Go looooooong or go home!

This is a 75-caliber club butt of 60” barrel, yet is incredibly light due to the highly tapered barrel, weighing not even 8-pounds! It handles like a dream and points extremely well.

 

[Eric Krewson]

Homemade turkey gun, 38" barrel, 12ga fowler, jug choked.

 

[appalichian hunter]

Eric you make the turtle shell turkey caller, I have made a few of those.

 

[Buckskinn]

Oh, I like that turtle shell call idea, definitely going to make one of those! I'm into wing bone calls, bu that looks really cool...

 

[StarnesRowan]

Does anyone know of any moravian fowlers

Very nice Gentleman!!! Very Nice indeed, haven’t had the “coolaid” yet, but sure been thinking about it. Got a question, would you agree or disagree that a smoothie is a bit more taxing logistically and operationally. Not counting the PRB. Just curious. I guess it depends on the load doesn’t it? Wads no wads, tow no tow, sawdust, cards, shot snake etc… not busting on anything cuz it’s obvious it’s a hoot to shoot and extremely versatile.

Seems like it just takes more…

Here is my humble entry. A sitting Fox kit, styled after a Penn rifle. It's .54/28ga. It's really a versatile gun. It's tough on squirrels and turkey, and accurate enough for deer, and hogs. Yes, they can be tricky to load, but it is soooo worth it when you work it out. Cards, wads, and paper wrapped shot for small game, and cushion wads behind PRB.

I used to shoot only rifles. Then I got a smoothie…and then another one, and another. Percussion or flint, I love ‘em.
They are no different than any other gun. You have to take the time to learn what they like in order for them to shoot well. But then they are a friend for life. I worked up both shot and round ball loads for all of mine.

Yeah,

I am trying to tie up some loose ends in the rifle and pistol department, but I certainly can see a fowler in the future. The versatility of the .62 smoothie really appeals to me.

This winter's project:

Plain maple blank, 38" Colerain 62 cal "turkey choke", fusil buttplate, English trigger guard, single trigger. The lock will be either L&R classic or large Siler flint.

 

[2 shots]

be careful with box turtle shells or other protected types
