Just read a thread on a chunk gun shoot, can you post some pictures of your chunk guns with details about them.
This might be my next build so the more details the better.
Kind of sights
Caliber
triggers
stock
what type of rests
accessories...

Thanks

I have a replicated Pennsylvania Blue Mountain Chunkgun made for me by David Dodds, but I don't have the "savvy" to make photos and post them on the website. It was duplicated from an original that was displayed at Dixon's several years ago, so if you could somehow pull up photos of an original you'll see what it looks like.

Weighs about 18 pounds, has a small front platform built as part of the full length stock, .50cal heavy duty Getz chunkgun barrel, open iron sights with attach/detatch shaders, very curly American Ash stock from Wayne Dunlap (cut on the Ny-Pa state line somewhere). With .495 balls I cast myself it shoots second of angle....not minute....second ;D!

Two Bears,
I have a number of chunk guns, original and contemporary, a couple of which are available. I will try to take some pics this weekend and send them to you. I can't post on the site but will email them to you with some specs.

I'll be happy to forward the pictures to anyone who can post them, or to those of you who want to see them. I'll get them taken this weekend.

Two Bears,
I sent out a couple of emails to you, and the other fellows. I got kind of windy and am not sure if they went through. Let me know.

Here is a photo of my "baby" chunk gun, Diana.  She has a Douglas 44" barrel, 1" across the flats, and in .50 cal.  She eats 91 grains of FFG under a .018 pillow ticking patch and a .495 ball and is a bona fide spider killer.  Everything with the exception of the barrel and the heavily modified Siler lock was made from scratch.  Other details as sights and setting up your sights can be found on my web site.  Hope this helps.  Cheers, Bookie
