I've threatened and promised, yes and even swore I'd build a French smooth bore some of these days. Well the day has come. I've begun work while awaiting the arrival of a couple of more parts from TOW. It is Track's Fusil de Chasse. It will have a walnut stock, and the 44" Colerain 20 ga. barrel.
And it didn't happen without pictures, so here you go.

This is slow going. "But of course!" you say. After all, it is muzzle loading, right? So today I'm polishing the trigger guard. And I'm discovering all sorts of little casting dings left behind by my file.

As a shooting buddy of mine often says "Hey, we're havin' fun in Kansas." More at 11.
 
Better to take your time to get it Right than get into a rush and get it Wrong.
Well, at least take your time so you don't screw up as fast... :redface:
