What historical period and style is the Kibler Fowler kit based on?
The Fowler kit is based on smoothbore guns made in England during the 1760s and 1770s for export to the colonies or early America. English fowling pieces from that era were made across a wide range of quality levels, from very low quality trade guns intended for the Indian trade up to very high end deluxe guns, and the Kibler kit sits in a mid grade between those extremes.
