Title: Jim Chamber Fowler kit date?
Post by: J Shingler on September 22, 2025, 04:10:40 PM

Guys, I have a question that this old mind can not remember. Seems I am not alone as I have asked Jim Chambers and he can not remember either! I bought one of the 20 ga fowler kits as soon as Jim came out with them. It has been a wonderful companion and has take a fair amount of game and prizes. But my question is when did Chambers come out with this kit? I am just trying to date a few of my old early builds and just can not remember. Anyone remember this little piece of history?

Thank you
Jeff

Don''t take this the bank to cash but I get married in 1993 .. And I started going over to Getz Barrel about when this kit had just surfaced around then .. so this had to be 94-96 .. I remember seeing a stock slab-off or a pattern for this fowler buttstock ..
I assembled and finished one of these for Don Getz April of 1996 ..

I think .. now I have a headache !!

Allen,
I was thinking 1993 or 1994. So we are in the same ballpark. I sure wish I kept better records back then.

Thanks buddy!
