Thoughts on .62 smooth bores?

(1/2) > >>

Parnell:
I've been researching options for doing a build.  Northwest Trade Guns, Fusil De Chasse, English Fowling Guns...

Are there other options for this "class" of flintlock?  If you were to argue for one type over another what would you say?

I'm aware that the Fusils have that more dropped stock design that does make me wonder about alignment and shooting.  Opinions?

The blocky stock of the NTG appears as though it would be just that...blocky.  Currently, I'm leaning toward the idea of finding a Fowling Gun project.

What would you consider building?  Why?

JW_Halverson:
Tennessee Valley Manufacturing makes a great "Poor Boy Fowler" in .62, they also give you a choice in 42 or 36" barrel length.  Check them out, Jack Garner is a great guy to work with and he is honest in his dealings!

mullet:
And Jackie Brown. I've been on the Net down here for two weeks looking at kits and finished/used guns.

Parnell:
Jackie Brown is someone at TVM, Eddie?

Eric Krewson:
Jack Brown has very mixed reviews, I have never seen any of his guns but have read a lot of feedback on his work. Some are very pleased with his guns, some get stuck with craftsmanship flaws and have not been able to get resolution when they have a problem.

His prices are hard to beat, especially for an in the white gun.
