Please don't... you will probably start a trend! ;)

So just by visiting LCS site will cause these problems? or just when you order?

Yes, it's a good amount of lead and I paid a small fortune for it, but I have been selling what I don't need and putting it into "useable" assets. Lead will not get cheaper, nor will it get more available. I can sure use it and if need be, it will be great for barter or trade.

My 3,000# order of lead and shot was shipping the day I ordered it! Unfortunately, it has sitting in a holdover point in MT for many days now. I assume it must sit and wait until more loads build up before a truck will come this way. I hope I get it before the lead expires and goes stale lol!

Not sure when the reference of "canoe gun" started, but a very similar style, having been around since Europeans traded guns with the tribes, was a "horseback gun". I am not sure the average length that was preferred for the canoe gun, but horse guns tended to get way on the short side. I...

I guess I will be president of the Northern Plains Chapter of the "R. Miller Smoothbore Brigade"... We can all meet up every year for a Buffalo feast and little fine bourbon. We will start out the event with our Trade Guns in the air and fire a volley. Yea... I like where this is going...

Had a good deal with @Tom A Hawk. Built two nice antler priming flasks for me.

Yes! @Berta Newton Thank you very much for spending your time helping spread around your Dad's great wisdom. I have done web searches for his book at times, only to find nothing. And thank you too Rob for being such a good "Middle Man" 😁

I know one thing... it's a good looking rifle. I would stick a light in the barrel to make sure there is no major pitting, then I would swap out the flint for a fresh one, and I'd go shoot that thing. Your Dad would want you to shoot it and enjoy it, and keep it living on...

That sounds real fine and all Rob, but if you came back in 6 months and everyone was building their own guns... you might have to work part time at the local Piggly Wiggly 🤣

Don't thank me, I didn't have the chance to enlist at the time, but I respect all who have...

You know... that's a real fine job my friend, and the only criticism I have on it is that I have never seen a trade gun so "blonde" like that before. IMO, if you darken that baby up a fair bit, it will be mint! Just my personal opinion, but other than that, I congratulate you good fellow!!!

Thank you for your service brother...

Lots of great ideas here and I appreciate it! I am watching every post and I am collecting ideas... I have a few thoughts on what I will seek now.

Jot me down for a copy as well... NW Trade Guns are all I own and all I shoot! Thank you Rob and most certainly... thank you Berta!!!

I agree that Schuetzen makes Graf... My question , however, is if Graf and Schuetzen powder are an identical match. What's the point of Graf rebranding Schuetzen powders when they sell Schuetzen powders??? Why is Graf powders cheaper than Schuetzen powders? ...I mean, they are identical...

Short starters from plywood? How are those made and what do they look like? curious...

@Bertha Newton had just joined this forum on Wednesday. She seems quite friendly and I am sure she wouldn't mind chatting with any of the folks on here.

>>>PLEASE READ THIS POST<<< Even tough I still regret creating this post, it has certainly helped shed a lot of light... I have now learned that: - They only have 4 employees currently. - They make a lot of handmade and unique items. - @Brazos John may have been the root cause of...

Yep, I definitely want a one piece rod for the range, however, I also want a take town cleaning rod (12" section or so) that I can always keep on the bottom of my shooting box.
