« on: April 03, 2017, 02:41:08 AM »
Jason from Rice barrel company has agreed to make and will be accepting orders for a 20 bore French fusil oct/rnd barrel patterned after an original c. 1745 Saint Etienne fusil fin. This is fashioned after a Les Freres Penel pg. 117-118 in "The French trade Gun in North America" by Kevin Glaysz
Dimensions are
Length 44" ( talk to Jason about other lengths)
Diameter-
 1.22" at breech
 octagon for 15"
.95" at 12" from breech (so a quick taper for excellent balance)
.75 waist
.78 muzzle

1-339-492-2614

Most all french Fusils  for the North American trade had barrels at 53 1/4". There were exceptions of course.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

The length is up to each persons discussion with Jason. Price may vary by length I'm quite sure.
