Title: Fowler
Post by: The Painter on February 02, 2013, 10:13:25 AM
I bought this 1830's 12 gage fowler from a friend for $5, it had some major problems, broken stock at the grip and chip wood at the hammer. The barrel was ok but I wanted a turkey barrel. I had a friend Keith Castell put a barrel he makes on it, This barrel has an internal chock. 42" barrel so it will reach out there. I cold acid'ed the barrel for age.
