    Half Stock 20 ga Fowler

    Got it all put together. Plan to add some checkering on the wrist, depending on how my practice piece goes. Plus I want to let the finish cure for a few weeks. Hopefully I'll have some better pictures then. (The pictures got rotated when I posted them and not sure how to fix that.)

    Half Stock 20 ga Fowler

    This is the start of my second flintlock from a blank. Made the hooked breech tang from a piece of angle iron, since I could find one available like I wanted. This was the worst part, lots of filing. Barrel is inlet and the under rib, thimbles and sight soldered on, and the ramrod hole drilled...

    How far should touch hole be from bottom on the pan ?

    If you draw a line across the top of the pan, this is where the hole should be centered.
