Smoothbore style question.
« on: August 07, 2021, 06:06:58 PM »
Just purchased this fowler. Built by a gentleman named Dan Krug from Traverse City MI I’m told. It’s a 44” jus choked 16 ga barrel. Would you gents call it a Fowler? Trade gun? Just curious on opinions.
Thank you.

Stocked in maple, French lock and trigger guard, english buttplate, new england sideplate. I'd call it a New England fowling gun and be happy with that.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
