Really enjoyed the pics of Rich D's Fowler on the blog today.  A great looking gun. 

I'm hoping Rich will impart some builder details.  Thanks

I looked at that fowler at the CLA show.  Of everything there I saw this year, Rich's work on that firearm impressed me the most or all.....  It was a masterful job really well done.   One of the cleanest builds I have seen, and the engraving was just so well balanced & so nice....  This guy has been doing some SERIOUS practicing on his engraving the past year !!  and it dang sure shows !!   ;)

The design of the engraving is impressiive and seems unique. Love the circle filed with crosshatching on the side plate and caried through on the butt an T.G. Great design.

Hey Rich,

Is this the gun you had at Dixon's?
Was it engraved then?

Man I didn't even know you engraved. :o


I was barely able to get my name on a barrel where it was legible the other day. :'(

Super clean piece.
That's some well executed English.

Truly stuning work, clean, imaginative, great workmanship from the muzzle right down to the butt, even the trigger plate.    Gary

thanks guys for all the great reviews!  sorry been away for the computer for a while.  Thats the gun I took best of class in the master class this year at Dixons although it wasn't engraved at the time It did fairly well in the judging.

Wish it was mine but a happy customer now has it!

Thanks Again! ;D
