This will, eventually, become a Hudson Bay Fowler. The lock is quite large, Dutch in style, built from a TRS kit. Rice made the barrel for me, it is fully round, 46” long, 12 bore. Measures 1.350 at the breech end, .850 at the muzzle.

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'?

I was thinking that the valley may soon become a bay, due to rising seas and climate change

Mike, you may have to hold your breath if people don't start taking climate change seriously.

So.... Is this a Hudson bay Fowler or a Hudson valley Fowler?  The rifle sounds neat and I'm going to look into the style.

What's the wood.... Walnut?

The correct term would be Hudson Valley Fowler. Stock blank is cherry, from Allen Martin’s woodpile.
