Post by: paulitus on July 22, 2022, 07:46:54 PM: This will, eventually, become a Hudson Bay Fowler. The lock is quite large, Dutch in style, built from a TRS kit. Rice made the barrel for me, it is fully round, 46” long, 12 bore. Measures 1.350 at the breech end, .850 at the muzzle.

Post by: Eric Kettenburg on July 22, 2022, 08:18:13 PM: Like, totally.

Post by: paulitus on July 22, 2022, 11:00:44 PM: I was thinking that the valley may soon become a bay, due to rising seas and climate change

Post by: M. E. Pering on July 23, 2022, 04:11:05 AM: I am confused... I thought we already had a Hudson Bay?

Post by: paulitus on July 28, 2022, 04:38:39 AM: Just to be clear…..I was joking about the valley becoming a bay.
Title: Re: Here we go again
Post by: HighUintas on July 28, 2022, 04:55:08 AM: So.... Is this a Hudson bay Fowler or a Hudson valley Fowler? The rifle sounds neat and I'm going to look into the style.

What's the wood.... Walnut?

Post by: FALout on July 28, 2022, 12:38:54 PM: Looks like cherry
Title: Re: Here we go again
Post by: paulitus on August 01, 2022, 03:58:37 AM: The correct term would be Hudson Valley Fowler. Stock blank is cherry, from Allen Martin’s woodpile.
