Have a friend interested in having me build him a large bore fowler, he’s undecided about which size bore he wants. He said he’s mainly going to use it for turkey hunting but wants to load a patch ball for hog hunting on occasion. I have a 24 gauge fowler myself but have no experice with the...
A close friend has asked me to build him a rifle for his persona, he’s doing a longer hunter in Tennessee during the early to mid 1760’s, and he really doesn’t want a fancy grade stock. Other then maple what types and grades of wood are appropriate for that time period?

Thanks in advance
I hunt hogs and use a flint or cap lock, I know there’s better options but I like to carry black powder guns when I’m in the woods. I want another revolver because it’s faster to pull another revolver then it is to swap a cylinder.
I’m researching my next cap and ball revolver, I have an 1860 and love it, but I’m wanting another either as a primary or as as a back up (NY reload) while I’m in the woods. I would like to keep it as a .44 since I have the 1860. Would like y’all opinion.

If you want the curl to pop I would use aqua fortis, I used minwax oak and cherry stains and while they look good they don't bring the curl out like the aqua fortis
I'm about to order a barrel for my blank, I was wondering what would be more appropriate or historically accurate for an early southern Virginia smooth rifle, an octagon to round or a swamped smoothbore?
