So I'm considering having someone build one of TOW's TULLE kits for me and I have a couple questions regarding historical accuracy...
1) TOW offers both a 42" and 44" barrel kits. I understood the 44" barrel is the proper length. Is this accurate?
2) TOW offers two 20ga barrels. One made by Colerain and one just listed as 'made in the USA'. Being the same price is there a difference in quality? If the Colerain is the better barrel, is it enough so that it's worth waiting for them to get more in stock?
3) I'm leaning towards the walnut stock over a maple stock. Historically what was used?
4) I understand that fusil-de-chasse guns were mounted in both iron and brass furniture but that iron was more common? Can anyone verify this statement?
Thanks in advance...
