Here are 3 pic's of a little fowler, 32  bore, .50 smooth that I just finished for a fella in New Mex. (USA) siler flint, walnut stock from a blank, steel trim.  I made guard, rod pipes, wedges & plates. I'm thinking of offering these for sale(not this one)  any gauge any lock brass or steel trim, 1/2 or full stock. basic gun in area of $700.00. Plus a few extras, sling, swivels & little carving to make a nice gun............gunmaker  ???

As a former prolific builder offering gun's to the public, Have AT LEAST 4 complete gun's at any 1 time. Nothing worse than HAVING to get a gun done for a customer! Easy enough to switch barrels to a different caliber if needed. See ya this weekend!

Well now, that gun is just about the opposite of everything that I like, flint ignition, smooth bore and relative small bore.
BUT
I like it.  Nice job on that.  Bravo!!  I bet it is just a sweetie to shoot.

SSE if your talking about my pic, What do you expect a 69 year old to look like-- way to too many bumps & bangs on this old man. I used to be right handsome---but that was in another century.....he---he...........Tom

She is a blast to shoot, with 35gr 3f equal #7 shot throws a nice pattern @ 15 paces.  Not bad with a RB either....Tom

Rather neat, in my book.
Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.
