Mike Yancey:


Here is the finished gun that I started from scratch a couple of years ago, showing my neighbor and allowing him to help on it.

Stoker:
Very nice. That'll ruin some turkeys day. Cherry stock?
Thanks Leroy

Mike Yancey:
Yes, cherry.

Eric Krewson:
Strange you should bring this up, I am in the final stage of building an Isaac Haines rifle which I swore would be my last.

I guess one can't escape building once you start, I was just on all the barrel sites seeing what a long octagon to round barrel would cost me. i have a cherry blank I cut on my place four years ago that would use. It has one flaw in the butt that may work out or may not but I want to  use a blank I cut myself.  I am thinking about an american fowler, maybe a 20 or a 16ga, I already have a Gustomsky 20 and a 12ga english fowler I built.

I want something longer and leaner than my 12 which has a 38" D weight jug choked barrel on it for turkeys. Here is my 12 ga, I worked off the full size English fowler plans from Track to shape it;





 

Eric Krewson:
My lock is a little slow at times, I'm thinking about sending it off to an expert and having the springs properly timed and everything tuned.
