Smooth Rifle

[RiverRat]

My 28g/54cal smooth rifle from a Jim Chambers kit put together by Mark Wheland. I am patiently waiting on a Kibler Fowler kit in 20g. I hope that I can get the beautiful results that Mark got.

Now THAT'S a dandy.

How's it shoot?

I have one like it in .62 caliber, although mine has a few more miles on it. They’re good guns.

Mark is a master. Top shelf!

When we were doing rondyvous, I had to take the rear sight off for smoothbore matches. Shooting rbs against larger bore smoothies, this little 28g would shine. I felt like I was cheating.

Mr. Wheland did an outstanding job on your gun! Absolutely beautiful. I like your choice of the rifle-style trigger guard, also… it just looks more appropriate somehow than the fowler-type guard on this gun.

Thanks for showing it!

I can’t take any credit for the rifle style. Jim Chambers sold the kit and Mark assembled it.
That was about 15 years ago and I didn’t pay any extra money for the maple stock.

Beautiful!
I think I notice at the lock panel that it might have been earlier inlet for another, larger lock?

I believe that this lock was the largest that Chambers offered. I could be wrong.
