Pecatonica Fusil de Chasse

I thought to share some photos of my newly finished
Fusil de Chasse
that I built from Pecatonica River component parts. It was an enjoyable build and I am really happy with how it turned out as well as how good it shoots. They are such graceful looking long guns.

That looks really good, Bob. Nicely done!
Make the bag and horn too? Dynamite!

Great job. Why didn't you use the FDC sideplate?

Hi- I made the horn but not this pouch. The serpent side plate that was supplied is too long for this lock so I used a Fusil Fin side plate instead.

The side plate you used is referred to as the cloud pattern of the late fusil de trait style, also found often enough on New England fowlers. FDCs should use this, or close variations.

Thanks Clark. My knowledge on these is less than rudimentary!
