Fusil D' Chasse

[NAULTRICK1]

I just finished, haven't shot her yet, can't wait!!!I really learned to love walnut with this build, tried to make everything as PC as I could, did a lot of research into what was plausible with the 1680 to 1730s era. The barrel is a Colerain 24ga,44" oct to rnd that I 16ed, the lock is Davis, everything else is made by me from scratch- barley corn sight, silver thumb-piece, trigger, trigger plate, trigger guard, side plate, butt plate, thimbles, entry pipe, RR and tip and the screws for everything(couldn't find any slotted screws anywhere) the screws were a real pain. I was really surprised how light and perfect a fit it seems when you bring her up to sight, they really knew what they were doing. Now I know why they were so sought after for so long. Hope ya like

Yes, I do like. Very much. Fabricating the metalwork is in itself impressive and the gun is beautiful.

Mongrol I've seen your work and that's pretty high praise for this po' country bumpkin, Thanks

Mongrol I've seen your work and that's pretty high praise for this po' country bumpkin, Thanks

I'm pretty good at what I do but I stick within my comfort zone, which is shaping wood and assembling other people's parts to that wood. I can cobble together some very functional but still very plain steel hardware, with access to oxy-acetylene and some form of wire-feed welder. As long as I stick to all that I have no problem accepting being told that I do good work.

My initial reaction to studying your gun's furniture was to assume high-grade wax-cast pieces from one of the better suppliers of such stuff, and that was after studying your gun overall and liking what I saw. The fact you made all that stuff bumps your gun and work from being really good, to what I said before -- flat-out impressive.
