Mike Brooks · « **Reply #9 on:** November 14, 2021, 04:42:48 PM »

Here's an odd one. Taken out of Grinslades book. I think 54" barrel in 20 bore.

Mike Brooks · « **Reply #10 on:** November 14, 2021, 04:49:44 PM »

Yet another club butt, this one stocked in ash. 46" 10 bore with full choke. Followed by some old man with a Hudson Valley fowling gun with a 72" barrel. I'll stop now.....

Germanic Fowler made as a model for the seminar I taught at Bowling Green about six years ago.

As you requested they are fowling guns, not rifles.

Daryl · « **Reply #14 on:** November 14, 2021, 09:39:04 PM »

Some very beautiful guns, some fancy (very) some plain and in between.
Here's my 20 bore pelter. (pellet shooter) - plain as can be and 1/2 stocked with patent hooked breech.
Made by a US fellow. Hunkeler.

Smooth rifle. Iron mounted. Larry Zornes oct-round barrel. 20 ga. Early Ketland Chambers lock. Figured walnut. Sweet shooter. Made by Marvin Berry.

Maalsral · « **Reply #16 on:** November 17, 2021, 07:18:11 PM »

Here is a fowler made by Josh Wrightsman for me.

Daryl · « **Reply #17 on:** November 17, 2021, 10:37:53 PM »

That gun really fires me up, Mark.

These photos can certainly leave one's head spinning, wow. Just saw this thread and the title had me thinking of posting mine. But this gathering is "black tie" and no place for a photo of Cinderella's ugly sister wearing her overalls.

Hanshi, some of us like ladys that wear overalls! Post away. Personally, I appreciate the fine guns but prefer ones with a little character. A little hard earned bark is what make the tree more interesting.

The second gun I ever built, just a work horse, no frills, 12 ga.

It gets it done;

Robby · « **Reply #22 on:** November 20, 2021, 07:57:47 PM »

16 Ga. half stock.

Years ago I broke a couple fingers and had to cut off my wedding band. My wife replaced it and I kept the old one hanging around till I had the idea to inlay it on this fowler barrel.

That's REALLY nice, Robby - looks like a real pointer.

Robby · « **Reply #24 on:** November 21, 2021, 03:26:44 PM »

Thank you Daryl. Yes, it comes up nice and is right where you want it.
