Should be here next week, go into turbo mode working up loads, then hunting the week after. Dad wants a fat doe to BBQ for Christmas, I'll have to see what I can do, maybe a few bushytails thrown in too. Chris

that is a nice piece but considering you don't go for anything more elaborate knife wise than a mora and machete i'm a little shocked

just kidding ya

Good point, perhaps the mora and machete lets me afford fusil fins and not just fusils. Chris

Chris,
a most excellent choice. I think you will be most pleased with this piece. Mine is not the same maker or the Fin model - but my fusil de chasse has been my sole hunting piece for years. A joy to shoot and also tote - you will especially like the sling mounts! Enjoy

I have a pedersoli double 20 that I have been using for a few years but the lines of the classic French flinters have been whispering to me for a while. Finally decided to take the plunge, I can't wait to try it out. :thumbup: The chasse was actually what I was shopping for but this was what was available so there you go. Chris

Very nice. Now I'm looking forward to more pics and stories starring the Fusil Fin.

[August West]

right on Chris...:thumbup: that is the reason why i hunt/shoot with a longbow.. one of these days i'll get one.. my wife's stepdad used to shoot a lot of black powder and is in the process of building a nice rifle..

Hey AW/RB/Chris rolleyes, crossada definitely has a point. In my case I don't buy guns, so I feel justified in treating myself to a little pretty steel, every once in awhile.

Nice looking piece, though. :thumbup:

Doc

(Actually to 'fess up, I have a couple of pieces coming in the mail, right now )

Hey AW/RB/Chris rolleyes, crossada definitely has a point.

As I admitted to. What can I say, different strokes and all that, I still don't own a custom knife. I do enjoy the knives I do own and I enjoy the out of doors, I guess I am just a reverse knife snob. Chris

 

[hushnel]

Wow, very nice.

I've been looking at Track of the Wolf for a few years now, I spent about an hour on the site tonight before I saw this thread. I'm seriously thinking of building a Southern Mountain or maybe an Isaac Haines in iron furniture.

I've been shooting the stuff since the early 70s.

That is my next project, building one myself, probably be a couple of years down the road though. I have been looking at a southern poor boy rifle myself. I have a good round ball gun right now, I have killed a lot of game with it and it is a real tack driver but in percussion, thinking about flint now. Chris

EDIT: Hushnel, have you looked at TVM, Tennessee Valley Muzzleloaders, Got some great guns and are really nice people to work with.

So I guess that makes it AW/RB/Chris/reverse knife snob?

JK, AW/RB/Chris/reverse knife snob!

So I guess that makes it AW/RB/Chris/reverse knife shob?

JK, AW/RB/Chris/reverse knife shob!

Doc, For you.....what ever you would like to call me, I'll answer to dang near anything. Chris

 

[Mistwalker]

WOW! That is sweeeet, I want to see some in the field photos! Hope you have a good "period" knife to go with it too.
