Part Number: AAP-045
This flint lock fowler features 1750 to 1780 era styling with iron trim, curly maple stock, and round faced lock. This fowler has similar architecture to some of the examples shown in the book #BOOK-FF-S Flintlock Fowlers, The First Guns Made in America by Tom Grinslade, but is not a specific copy of one of the examples. The fowler is assembled around a 20 gauge octagon-to-round Colerain barrel mated to a round faced Chambers lock. The 42" octagon-to-round barrel and iron furniture have a nicely aged patina.
The 20 gauge by 42" octagon-to-round barrel transitions from 8 flats to 16 flats before turning round at a set of double wedding bands. We recommend our 20 gauge wads and cards for use with the .615" diameter bore. The exterior of the barrel is finished to a smooth gray brown. The barrel is fitted with a tall blade front sight soldered behind the muzzle. A flat top rear sight is dovetailed 8-1/2" ahead of the breech, not normally found on modern fowling pieces the rear sight is not completely alien to the guns as they are occasionally seen on antique long guns.
