I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas day! Anyone have one? Have any pictures?

 

[Alden]

LOL You're asking US? I wanna see what YOU ordered and now we ALL have to wait...

:_(

I suppose many of us sorta know, but STILL...

 

[Trot]

Waiting is always the hardest part, did you order a kit or is it a finished gun?

 

[Peter LeRay]

You are right on Alden! I will post progress of the build as I go...

 

[Peter LeRay]

I ordered the 'D' kit with iron furniture. Will post progress pics....

Here's a link to pics of mine. I made mine from a "kit" from Mold and Gun Shop; Larry Zornes.

[John Shields]

LOL! Try ordering one, and then waiting 6+months for it to be built! Enjoy your new smoke pole.

Ugh, just got word the stock and lock are backordered.

Sir, that is a very nice gun you have there :thumbsup: . What model lock is on your rifle? I sure do like the way it contours (flows) back into the wrist.

 

[Peter LeRay]

Here is the stock. Pretty nice!!

I built the Type D tradegun from TOTW about 5 years ago. I got the steel furniture. I'm glad it was not my first build as parts of it are tricky. I had to heat, bend, and hammer the trigger guard to get it to fit the pre-inlet - out of the box it wasn't even close. I also ordered the stock without the lock pre-inlet so I had complete control over the lock placement. It turned out nice and it shoots very well. My only complaint is the barrel doesn't taper beyond the wedding band. It's the same diameter all the way to the muzzle. Still, it handles quite nicely and it's one of my favorite flintlocks.

 

[Peter LeRay]

Thanks for the info. I noticed the triggerguard also. Same thing, will have to heat and bend.
