The classic English smoothbore

The Fowler is a smoothbore, and it was a common arm of the period. It is styled after the smoothbores produced in England and exported to the colonies in the 1760s and 1770s, the kind sold at general stores and among the most common firearms of the day. It is a classic English design, and it is the sort of gun an American would have carried. It is also a favorite for re-enactors.

Like the Woodsrunner, it is one of our more approachable builds. The stock is CNC machined to close tolerances, the holes are drilled, and the parts need only minimal fitting. The design is ours and the machining is ours. The hand work, and the satisfaction, are yours.

The Round-Faced English lock is included. The price you see is the complete kit price.
