    If T/C Would Have Made a Northwest Trade Gun...

    I really like this one and it looks almost exactly like your T/C trade gun.

    If T/C Would Have Made a Northwest Trade Gun...

    I like this style, I was originally thinking about getting a NW tradegun but now I'm not sure lol. The drawing from around 1820 the other fella posted looked similar but looked like it was a flintlock instead of a caplock. It said the barrel for the gun in the picture is 33" this would make for...

    Carolina Gun build / canoe length

    I thought this was a neat looking " canoe gun ", I'm guessing it's a much later trade gun since it's from the northwest coast. Somebody put some love into it.............

    Fairbanks/ Interior Ak. muzzleloaders

    I've never shot a fusil however they do have a neat look to them, i've heard some say there is some cheek slap. I sold my flintlock rifle many moons ago after I got my smoothbore I enjoyed shooting it more and it was plenty accurate enough and I haven't bought another flintlock rifle since. It...

    A Brother In The NE Needs A Squirrel Recipe

    I used a pressure cooker then deboned the squirrels to make southern baked pot pie like this, besides Pa. squirrel pot pie this was my other favorite way to make squirrel. I would also use rabbits, doves, grouse, and woodcock sometimes all mixed together, make a bunch of pies and then freeze...

    Fairbanks/ Interior Ak. muzzleloaders

    I have a Jackie Brown 62 smoothbore, however I'm not looking to get rid of it. I am looking for a trade gun with say a 30"ish barrel but I prefer a lefty. I've been looking at Rob M.'s trade guns and considering having him build me one. My son just ordered a 62 smoothbore with 38" barrel from...

    Bear Banger

    50 cal would be as small as I would go however I recommend the biggest you have, bears die hard, don't always leave much of a blood trail if any, and usually head for the thickest, nastiest, brushiest tangles they can find. You need to anchor a bear as quickly as you can and you want and exit...

    Carolina Gun build / canoe length

    Gotcha, I have one with a 42" barrel and it's a challenge hunting rabbits and grouse in the brush. I enjoy watching your builds, thanks for posting.

    Carolina Gun build / canoe length

    Was thinking around a 28 to 30" barrel, what is it you don't like about the short barrel smoothbores?

    Carolina Gun build / canoe length

    Wasn't it back around the 2000's when Jackie Brown coined the term " canoe gun "? I remember reading about it, he had leftover short barrels so he started making them and they took off. Rob, what's the turn around on one of these once you get the order? Do lots of brush busting here and a short...

    Left handed flintlock question

    I'm blind in my right eye due to an accident and had to learn to shoot lefty with both a gun and traditional archery. I shoot a lefty smoothbore but I have shot a righty lefthanded with no issues. I suppose if I shot it regularly I would get used to it but If given a choice I would prefer a...

    Favorite Shot Size

    I like 7.5 for small game like rabbits, grouse, and ptarmigan. I find the 6 shot results in more blood shot meat and broken bone/ bone splinters in thinned skin game. In my younger days when I lived in Pa. I liked 6 shot for grey squirrels and pheasants, 7.5 for cottontails, grouse, and woodcock...
