Thank you all
I hope I do as well with the 94 thudy thudy project .
At some point in its life it took a hard fall and upper tang was broken then brazed back together. Its all bits and pieces now , but hopefully will become a shooter .

Very very nice. A fowling piece is one of the all time one gun survival companions. And yours is beautiful to boot!

I dont know a thing about a flintlock..Sure looks like something fun to play with..Is not inletting the lower tang into the wood a common feature in older gun styles? Think I've seen that before and wondered about it..

On quite a lot there are variations of whether certain parts are or arent inlet. Dependant on 'school' how it was done . On this one I chose to inlet front guard extention and set rear on top of wood .
This gun is more or less an 'American Fowler' in style.

Real nice. I see it wears a hind sight. That should make it easier to lob roundballs into a target
