shatcher not sure if you have a time restraint for purchasing a Fowler but I'm personally holding off until I see what Jim Kibler owner of Kibler's Longrifles is going to put out for a fowling piece. It will be available in kit form and would have to be assembled and finished. Really no worries there due to the precision that's achieved through the cnc technology he uses. He really has taken the kit gun to the next level. I've been told they have the Fowler in the works and should be the next gun they release.
