Shoot off an email to Pecatonica River and ask about this, bet he'll add a couple inches to a stock for ya. Also check with Jim Chambers, he sells long stocks for fowlers. http://www.longrifles-pr.com/services.shtml

Mike Brooks' fowling gun stocks are for 44" clearing in 16 or 20 bore. The lock is not done nor the trigger but maybe he can cut them in for an extra charge if you send him your exact lock and trigger.

I just noticed that re davis makes a french fusil with a 48" barrel, does anyone have any experience with this kit? How correct for a colonial fowler would this be? I was thinking of building it as a colonial restock with french metal, since the wood is american walnut anyway.

I haven't heard anything bad about that kit. It's been all good.

Probably not enough meat to bore to a 16. But I'd call Rayle to make sure. I beleive he's about a year behind most of the time.texcl said:
I think the davis French Fusil would be OK for a colonial gun at the right time and place, I think I heard that these are rather heavy due to the barrel not really being as it should for such a gun, this is common with fowlers that are offered particularly in the smaller bores made witrh the same barrel profile,what should be a 5 to 7 lb gun may weigh 8 or 9 lbs
