Chambers PA Fowler Build

[Hatchet-Jack]

I haven't posted much on this board. I thought I'd start a thread showing the build I've been working on for a while. It's a Jim Chambers PA Fowler .62 Cal 20 gauge, maple stock. So far I have the Barrel installed, Trigger and Plate, Tang Bolt, Lock and Side Plate and Ramrod fitted. I'm working on inletting the Butt Plate now.

I'm still figuring out how to attach pics, so for now here's a few to try it out. If these work I'll add more:

These are pics of how I whittled the ramrod down and how I scraped the channel to clear the front lock bolt.

You need to crop and resize your pics to make them more easily viewable.

I sized them down. Hopefully it helped.

Thanks Mike! I was a bit nervous posting my work on this board with so many talented builders.

 I like the use of the shears, that's thinking "Outside The Box". Keep'm com'n.

Looking great so far.
A number of nice options are available as Chambers kits.

I stole it so I can't take credit! It works pretty slick.

That's what I thought when I first saw someone doing this. You have to make sure they are fairly sharp, easy enough.

I like your pointed post fixture on your drill press to precisely align the angle on your work to come out at the right place.   :-)

Thank you. Yes it's nice to have that control. I'm no good at eyeballing it!
