Original barrel #1 ID
« on: March 18, 2025, 11:00:21 PM »
Here’s a barrel I think is from a French fowler or trade gun.
Length is 46.5”. Bore is 0.615. It is round with a sighting plane and a rear sight. 1.3” at the breech. Still flint configuration but is been “bouched” once. Agree French and mid 1700s for a fowler/trade gun?  Would it pair nicely with this guard?  This is my #1 candidate for a composite or “parts gun” comprised largely of recycled original parts.
