A new gun in the works

In the Jan/Feb issue of Muzzleloader magazine there's an article on contemporary gun maker Jesse Brennan. Jesse is the son of Jud Brennan who some say is one of the best gun makers in the country. It's obvious from some of the work Jesse has done that he definitely inherited his fathers artistic talent.

I have several of Juds guns that he made for me over 35 years ago so I thought it would be great to have a gun made by his very talented son. I've talked to Jesse by phone a couple times and told him that I'd like to have a Fusil de chasse, French Tulle. I like that style and I think it would fit my French Canadian ancestry. I talked to John Getz about making a 44" 20ga barrel...so the ball is rolling.

Below is a picture of a Tulle. Mine will have a LH lock of coarse  

Jesse's website shows his talent

Your Shrew bows are well known for their quality.  So it’s obvious that you have skills.


That said, I am wondering why you have not made some of your own muzzleloaders.


Or perhaps you have.  Indeed, it would be a high mark to match the quality that comes from Judd, but you never get better until you have a place to start from.


What are your thoughts on that Lobo?

I thought that looked like Ron L.

Boy that was great
