First round barrel
« on: September 07, 2022, 03:00:24 AM »
I'm about to embark on a new journey - building a fowler with a round barrel. Should I file a flat on the side of the barrel for the lock to fit against? This will also have a vent liner.

hi,
Yes, a flat must be filed as you can see on the original round fowler barrel on the right.

Thanks. That's what I figured, but just wanted to be sure.
