Building me a N.W. tradegun. Again ! :D

[Rob M.]

Building ME a N.W. Trade gun !! LOL ! Yet again !! Hope I keep this one ! I love that one I made for myself , the last one but ... Goofy me ....that lock made me mad and ....in seriousness , I do need to pack one around and be able to hand it to someone and be able to say " This is an example of what i make ..." all the components being the same SO .....here I go again . Pic of my last N.W. gun side plate . Just love it !

 

[Rob M.]

This is one crappy piece of walnut ! I could never use it for a build for a customer but ....for cheap $hit me ?! and I hate to waste things , I'll make this into a NW gun for me . There will be a chuck of wood missing at the toe of the butt stock when its done , I'll graft in a piece , and a gawg awful knot above the comb area , I'm hoping most if not all is gone by the time I get to the comb , we'll see .... So much for building one gun at a time ! LOL !! ...A.D.D. is so strange !!

 

[Rob M.]

I cut out the pattern shape on top and the wedge for the barrel ...it got rid of that nasty knot above the comb , thank goodness ... I got the lock I'm going to be using for the build , my standard lock for N.W. trade guns ....now I have to get the barrel . Need to call Ken soon ....I'll made the other parts , except side plate and bolts so ....here we go ! Right noe I'll put it aside and get back on Steve's Fusil de Chasse ....

I change my mind on the wood for the stock . I hate wasting stuff but that stock is just too messed up . I deserve a better piece of walnut than that POS so here we go .... I measured and cut out the barrel 1/2" top slab just now and cleaned it up at the breech ....

 

[Rob M.]

Got this kick @$$ 40" long , 20 ga. barrel from Ken Netting... He turned it to my dimensions ...gotta grind the flats on it then can start bedding it in the stock

 

[Bnewberry]

Here we go again! Looking forward to watching the build.

As for how long you keep it….If there is a pool, I will take “Less than 3 weeks after completion!

Bu I hope you get to keep one for yourself some day!

 

[Rob M.]

I know ....sigh .....meh :/

 

[Rob M.]

Got the primary channel in there.... Have to grind flats on the barrel before I start bedding barrel though ....
