Kit bought from one of the Guys here maybe 8+ years ago, started and before too long, I burned myself out.
The "build spirit" just up and left town for greener pastures. Partial build sat unfinished for quite a few years.
Parts even went it hiding for about a year or so. Finally came out of hiding so bolted them down so they couldn't run off again.
Partial builds and loose parts don't last long so,...
found a builder that was really wanting to build the Fowler for me so off to Ohio it went just before Christmas.
Got it back in late March/early April.
It's YOUR build so do it like YOU want.
From looking at it, anyone interested will probably know more about it than I do.
UNFIRED build. Sparks good.
1" OCT to 15/16" at the ring then round barrel. 46 1/4" long. Plum brown finish. 60 caliber, 20 gauge?
Polished brass furniture.
White Lightning touch hole liner.
Queen Ann lock.
Curly Maple stock.
Inlay and carving behind the tang was a well received surprise.
LOTS of B C True Oil finish.
Very light trigger pull. 62" OAL.
LOP? 13 1/2" from trigger to center of butt.
DROP? 6 1/4" to center of butt.
One small spot behind/under hammer needs to be relieved and touched up where it rubs. (can't get a close up pic) No biggie.
Ram rod for looks. (too short) Comes with Gun Sock and New 48" dark brown Delrin nylon 7/16" rod from TOTW.
Shipped in custom made packing/box. Cost over $120.00 + shipping to get it back, insured. And "long box" cost more NOW from USPS.
Not thinking I'll be shooting it so it needs to go to someone that will appreciate and shoot it. Not shooting my other MLs so no use keeping this one around to rust from me drooling on it.
No trades and NO I won't be giving it away.
$1700.00 CASH or PMO. PM if interested, Mike.
