Pecatonia River Fusil de Chasse

[Reno]

I have used Pecatonica for maybe 30+ years. I find them to be exactly what I need. Their stocks Allow for you to finish however you might want. They are not a drop in fit but a little work and the fit is as good as your skills. Take you time. I learned a lot over the years about how all these parts come together. My first one, which was fine over 30 years ago still rests with the others. Yes there is some things I did that I should not have done but it shoots. And oddly enough it has o r if the premier Douglas varrrls on it. 36 caliber. Thst was standard fare years ago.
I enjoy getting them together. Each one brings a piece of our heritage together for me.
The inventory Pecatonica has is nearly always good. I always call to discuss what I want and see what they have. I don’t like ordering something and then having to wait maybe six months for all the parts to come in.

I have posted this a dozen times as a warning, people are probably getting tired of my griping but beware.

Repaired, many, many hours invested in the repair. I just took this picture, this is my #1 hunting rifle, I hunted yesterday so the gun is still loaded hence the toothpick in the touchhole. I soak my touchhole plugging toothpicks in super glue to harden them so they won't break off in the touch hole by accident. I paint my superglue treated toothpicks with a red Sharpie to identify them from the untreated toothpicks on my workbench.

Eric, if you ever decide to sell that keep me in mind..

A major problem with Peckertonica kits is the thickness of the web between the barrel and the ramrod.. 5/16" to 3/8" is common. No thanks.

GEESH !!!!! :O

Yes. I built two- kept one for my own. I like it bigly!

I have been searching for any information on the fusil de chasse with inlays. Is there any colonial ones out there for inspection.
