I stopped by a local pawn shop yesterday and saw that they had a
"16 gage fowler" for sale (percussion).
It had a little tasteful engraving on it and was marked "Nock" and "London" and had a brass butt plate. The barrel was about 36" long, octagon to round, and pinned.
I couldn't believe how light and well balanced it felt in my hands.
From the outside it looked pretty darn nice. I'm going back later this week and check out the bore with a fishing bobber light. The bore looks bigger then a 16 gage to me. I'll measure that too.
They want 400 bones for it but we'll see.
