I enjoyed the pictures of the excellent gun that is now fully usable by you! You're surely very content with the end result!
I'd not seen before, the screw placement into the heel of the butt plate. That's what I like about seeing all the pictures that
you folks share, the little differences in the details are Great!
 
Here are some pics of my Jim Chambers PA Fowler I just finished up. I started this build in June of 2021 after I picked up my Kit from Jim and Barbie at the NMLRA nationals in Friendship IN. It has been a great experience and I have learned so many new skills during this project. I owe a lot to my friend and mentor Jeff Talbert. I visited his shop on many occasions where he taught me everything from inletting to carving. Dave Person has also been a great resource with his extensive knowledge of these early smoothbore fowlers.

I have included a link to my "build along" thread at the bottom.

I hope you enjoy the pictures!

I made this powder horn for this gun. The bag was made by Dennis Massie.

As stated above: Beautiful Fowler and excellent pictures!

That gun in all iron furniture would be my perfect Fowler I do believe.
