Building ME a NW Trade Gun ! :)

[OlSwede]

I " tagged " ya on another build but , I'm a pretty " Low Tech " feller so dont know if I done it correctly or not . Kinda fun going through my build threads ! Go figure ! Take care bud ...

Hello Rob, that sweet little back action halfstock reminded me I have to fix the old John Fleeger target rifle i stashed away.
It’s .41 cal, 33” barrel with very graceful lines. Heavy old gal 13+ lbs.
The lock and patchbox have some classy engraving to dress her up.
The stock has a couple of cracks but all the parts minus the target peep sight are still there.
The rear sight is some wang dang doodle affair with a ramp going from the standard rear sight dovetail back per the tang. It has a tapped hole for post to adjust the elevation and a disc peep sight on top of the end of the ramp.
