Getting ready for turkey season this spring.If you notice i still like the touch hole, because i lost it or should i say hid it from myself. About to give up looking and just order another.I cant Waite to shoot it! It is a maple stock with a 44 inch colerian barrel that is juged choked. It is rust blued.

Nice! :thumbsup: Like the color. Whats the weight of that thing? The barrel looks awful thick there at the end.

Wow, Amazig work you've done there! :thumbsup:

I really like the barrel profile, That sells tha barrel for my project!

Verry nice piece, cant wait to see the field report on it! :hatsoff:

Is that a track french fusil?

bowkill · Jan 23, 2011

Yes it is and the barrel is swamped.

That is a nice piece! By the way, I see you're from Jamestown. If you get a chance, come over to Pall Mall March 26th for the York Shoot. Tain't far.

That's mighty handsome! I feel sorry for any tom that is foolish enough to approach that muzzle within 40 yards ...

jimikinz · Jan 24, 2011

Beautiful!!! I'm just starting on one similar, Mind If I save some of those for reference?

TGJaeger · Jan 24, 2011

Bowkill,
You did a wonderful job with the bluing! That color reminds me of the Model 70's that Al Biesen made for Jack O'Connor. Just Beautiful! :hatsoff:

hanshi · Jan 24, 2011

Now that is a handsome gun!

bowkill · Jan 24, 2011

first time i have tried rust bluing.It was very simple and i really like the way it came out. Got me a sweat box built which helps allot on the rusting.Took a piece of 2 inch pipe and cut a slit in the top wide enough to drop the barrel in to pour the bolling distiled water in and let it sit till it cools, repeat till you get the color you like. oyea dont cut to the end of the pipe, leave a couple of inches for the endcaps. It is hard to stop from leaking.[dont ask how i know]
