I really do have WAAAY too many guns, with 3 more on tap - Ettore Russo .54 schimmel smoothbore that's shipping out to me now, Kibler SMR .45 rifle that I'm currently working on, and the Kibler Woodsrunner .54 rifle kit that's on order and probably will ship to me around the end of this Summer to Fall.  Crazy.  I should be committed.  Actually, I am already.   :stooges:

I bought Bobby's gun because the price was right and he does GREAT gun work, this fowler is surely of no exception.  Just passing it on to someone who missed buying it when it went up for sale a few weeks ago at ALR.  Selling it for exactly what I paid for it, so it's at my loss (shipping included).  :*:

I can relate to that.  :laffing  :hairy

But, I still have room for one more,.... a Kibler smoothbore (some day soon, I hope).  :hairy  :toast

The minute that Jim offers his English smoothbore I'll order it.  BUT, not holding my breath on it happening even NEXT year, his Woodsrunner us still SIX months behind!

Rob, I think you need to re-define "too many".  :Doh!

I just took a "test" on the Living to 100 website.  According to them, I should be good until I am 91.  :applaud  I think that will be long enough.  Might even have a chance to get out and shoot a bit by then.  And maybe even get a few more muzzleloaders as well.  Preferably percussion ones.  I definitely have enough flinters.  3.  And enough smooth bores  2.  Silly me, I sold my plains rifle last year.  Percussion rifle.  Why do I keep doing these things?
