After a long, long wait, I received a Narragansett Armes club butt fowler in September. I was concerned how it would look and function when Terry called to say it was ready for delivery. The gun arrived in one piece, very nice, figured cherry wood, stock to barrel fit is very good as is the lock to stock. To date, in the neighborhood of 40 shots, the L&R Queen Anne lock has performed flawlessly. There have been no misfires/hangfires, the blast is almost instantaneous with the pan flash, exception was one evening's hunt at the end of damp day, I hadn't changed the priming powder. My son shot it and there was a delay of a fraction of a second. All in all, now that the gun is in hand, I am very pleased with it. That being said, it was an ordeal getting it. If I were to make a guess, and its only a guess, I suspect the new owner may have been overly ambitious in taking orders, being able to keep up with demands, who knows. If he stays in the business, it would seem he has a long road to earn back respect. He has made great progress with me, in the end keeping his word and providing me with a fine firearm. Just a minority view, I can understand where the others are coming from. I decided to be patient and ride out the storm.
