Hayseed, you are a talented man, I wish I could make my own firearms and a 28 gauge flintlock would definitely be on my list..

Re: Scratch build 28Ga. Flintlock
Good morning
That is one fine piece of work. Should be a good one to carry about with you.
Had my 60 smoothy out yesterday looking for a corn cruncher.

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

Re: Scratch build 28Ga. Flintlock
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..
Re: Scratch build 28Ga. Flintlock
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.

Re: Scratch build 28Ga. Flintlock
Real nice. I see it wears a hind sight. That should make it easier to lob roundballs into a target .
