TOTW smoothbore kits
« on: January 13, 2022, 10:15:12 PM »
Is it just my eyes or are there no smoothbore "kits" listed for sale at Tack's website? Maybe due to parts not being available for a year/years?

I'm not really looking at this time, more just found it curious that the smoothbore kits were gone from the site.

Those are some nice guns though. If and when I look again, a type G is on the list eventually.

I have noticed a lot of things that were once commonplace on TOW are now gone, I suspect the parts are not available to market these kits without being on indefinite backorder.

I used to use their catalog to find stuff I needed, but gave up on that, since so many of the items are no longer even listed on line.

Haven’t checked in years, but sorry to hear TOTW no longer has smoothbore kits available. I bought one a few years ago. I assembled it and found that it fit me better than any scratch built gun I had ever built. I still have it and shoot it when I can get to the range or hunting. Thanks, Jerry

If you look at their pre-carved stocks they list links to their parts that go with the stock.

Thank you for the link to Clay Smith. I didn’t know about him and his kits look very nice. My eye went to the Tulle!
Update: I just ordered one  :)
