Carolina Gun on its way to Wyoming

[Rob M.]

The Carolina Gun is on its way to Wyoming from Ohio to Virginia ....then to Wyoming , LOL ! Dave the owner has crossed the country to be at Martins Station in Virginia and a friend of his from Cleveland stopped by my neck of the country to pick up his new trade gun for him and deliver it to him at the show . Pretty cool ! Fun doing " gun deals " at McDonalds parking lot ! LOL ! So ...hopefully ,most important , Dave likes his new trade gun and enjoys it at the show and not sending it via UPS sure makes me sleep easier , they can be brutal on.packages ! Hope he likes it !

Hey Rob, why is the trigger guard not inlet? Was that customary on the trade guns, or customer preference, or a choice you made for the build? Not being a smart-A here, just trying to learn.
-Red, not joking around for once…

Red,
trade guns were just that, built cheap to give away for alliance.
Buttplates nailed on, hardware of sheet brass, no carving, minimal,decoration.

Oh your fine bud ......yeah , just a step that the English skipped for cost cutting . The N.W. trade gun was the same way with most builders . Funny , with the Carolina Gun it isn't uncomfortable as the brass is thin but on the N.W gun , I like to inlet them down half way , the stock I use to forge N.W guns is 1/8" thick ....just feels better to my short stubby fingers trying to wrap around that wrist

I was thinking it had to be something like that. Thanks for the reply!
