New fowler kit!

[Jim Kibler]

Here are a few shots of our new fowler kit.  This is based on export grade English fowling pieces made during the 1760's or 1770's.  These were probably some of the most commonly available guns of the period.  Kit comes standard as shown.  Complete with relief carving and lock moldings!  Any questions let me know.

Looks so clean and right, as expected. I bet it handles beautifully too.

[ScottH]

Sweet!
Just yesterday I was wondering how this project was coming along....
Bet that would look especially nice with a quality piece of english walnut.

Ordered mine yesterday, looking forward to it.

[Martin S.]

Great!  So now you can finally start work on the Hawken kit?

Qustions:
Is the butt plate cast or machined like woodsrunner?

Will there be a build video on things specific to Fowler, like fitting the thumb plate?

If we select "Walnut" will it be English, or American Black Walnut?
   Thank you for building this kit, i am a Michigan Upland bird hunter, and it is on my bucket list to harvest a Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock with a Fowler.

The buttplates are cast.  These will probably be fit to the stock by us before shipping the kit.  At some stage we might transition to machined buttplates.

If you purchase Walnut, it will be black walnut.   We would like to offer English walnut if we can find sources that can supply what we need at a "reasonable" price.

Yep, we'll be doing a video on the kit assembly.  We'll also probably put out a video soon introducing the kit.

Thanks!
Jim

[Jim Kibler]

I'll also add that we'll probably be offering a stain package that will help the black walnut to look more similar to English walnut.  Thanks for the idea Dave.

Can it be ordered without tang carving, lock molding and wrist inlay inlet?

[Jim Kibler]

No, it can’t be modified from what is shown.  Sorry Ron!

[sbowman]

nice looking gun.  Whats up with the muzzle? appears to be threaded in picture---choke tubes?

[Jim Kibler]

No, just an illusion with the picture, or the picture exaggerating things.  The bores are very smooth.   When feeling the finish, you can't detect any lines or grooves whatsoever. They are produced by Rice.  One of the best in the business.  Trust us.  We'll take care of you!

Great looking Fowler Jim, now get started on that Hawken!!

[Jim Kibler]

I need a break!  Actually we have a new piece of equipment coming in a month that is going to need a lot of work to get up and going, so this will be the next project.  Maybe by the end of the year we’ll get started on a Hawken.

[Lone Wolf]

Very nice indeed.  Is the carving done by hand, or machine?

[Eric Krewson]

CNC machine

@Jim, which diameter for Gau 16 roundball do you recommend? .65 or .64 ?

[2 shots]

 it seems jim is only  recommending the 20 gauge for round ball.

[Mike Brooks]

it seems jim is only  recommending the 20 gauge for round ball.

You can just as easily shoot round ball  in a 16 bore. Expect more kick and less accuracy.
