    monstrosity

    Yes, break action, good barrel, the gun is free, I've had it in my closet for years, and I am much more interested in using the barrel for a bp gun than ever using it as it. So I'm just practicing, for fun

    recreating 1625

    recreating 1625

    Hi, I am researching the canadian fur trade, the beginning, and I am wondering what type of gun a courer de bois would have carried at or around the year 1625. I am new to the sport, but not that new, having built and refinished flintlocks professionally in Nova Scotia I appreciate your help...
