    NW Trade Gun

    Hi Oswald, I bought one about a year-and-a-half ago. I refinished the stock and browned the barrel and lock.I like the idea of drilling my own flash hole that way I know it's in the correct location. The bore is smooth as glass. It is lighter than my pedersoli Indian trade gun. Seems to be a...

    I have a 13/16 barrel I was thinking of having Bobby Hoyt boring out to a smooth bore. What would be the largest caliber he could do on this barrel? If anyone would know? Thank you all.

    Flash hole liner

    Hey fellas i just made a new flash hole liner from a carbon steel grade 8 bolt. I noticed all of the factory produced liners are stainless. Should i have any concerns about using the carbon steel bolt? Thank you all.

    Just ordered N.W.Chiefs Musket

    Hello Redstick. I also picked up one of these earlier this spring. I love the look of a Northwest trade gun. I was a little apprehensive about ordering one these from MH after reading the reviews about not being able to contact and talk to anyone there. I never had that problem at all. I had to...

    Loyalist Arms

    Good to hear. I've been tempted. Are there frizzens smooth when you got it from them or are they washboard? I got a fussil de chasse from veteran arms there frizzen was wash board.
