Fowler stock with rifled barrel

[Nhgrants]

Is there a historical rifle design that would use a English Fowler stock and a octagon rifled barrel?

Hi,
The southern rifle RCA # 119 is shaped somewhat like an English fowler and has a full octagon rifled barrel.  If you are not wedded to an octagon barrel, both John Hirst and John Twigg made British officers fusils with rifled octagon to round barrels.

Just keep in mind, an octagon to round rifle barrel often needs a very low rear sight and very tall front sight or it shoots incredibly high.

Not an English stock, but there are a couple surviving rifles made up in Vermont that have octagon rifled barrels and architecture reminiscent of a New England Fowler. Shumway, in the second volume of his collected Longrifle articles in Muzzleblasts, described two, both made by the Hills, IIRC, and then there is this one: https://www.muzzleblasts.com/archives/vol4no6/articles/mbo46-1.shtml
