Man its been a long time since I've been on here. I've been looking around at NW kits. Looks like TOTW doesn't offer a one anymore. Seems like I remember most I saw had a rounded lock kinda like a queen anne? Most of what I am seeing now is a flat face l&r. Which were more period correct?

Before someone else says it just buy the kibler fowler
Kibler probably has the best to offer to date of a fowler. However it’s a fowler and not a trade gun.
I see Track has none now, I had a track kit and couldn’t have asked for better.
Sitting Fox offer NWG, TFC,Fusil fin, Yanquess trade gun( early form of NWG) and ‘Canoe’ guns in French and English style
Also fowlers
I have heard complaints about sitting Fox, my experience with them was great. Ray by far went the extra mile for me
I would recommend them but you never know how things work out till you do it
I did purchase in PCD
(Pre Covid days)
I got mine from Pecatonica, nice kit stock was inlet perfect.

There's always Caywood Gunmakers. I have one of their trade guns & it's excellent.
I've been talking with Ray. Sold out as of the moment. Looking at the pic doesn't look like the barrel has a double wedding band. May be wrong but i didn't see it on the Pecatonica either.

Pretty sure Track got/gets most of their stocks from Pecatonica.

Rob Miller on this site, (goes by the handle of RobM) would be the guy I would get ahold of. Rob has quite a bit of knowledge about the N.W. Trade Gun as well as building experience.
