Here is a Jake I got the other day. Called it in after a couple hours of cold calling. The gun is a french fowler or “fusil de chasse” from Tip Curtis. It was in the white (assembled but not finished) and I did the metal and wood finish and filing. I also made a silver front sight for it and a ramrod with a buffalo horn tip. 20ga. Load was 70fffg Swiss and 1.5oz copper plated #6 shot. Shot was at 12yds

I may try to deer hunting with it. This year. We’ll see how good of a load I can work up for it.
