Let's see some North West trade guns!

Nice looking guns. What kind of wood is that top one, maple?

 

[Keb]

It's ash.
Bottom one is a NSW gun.
Here's another one.
Curly made this one years ago. It's a 20ga. x 36" barrel. It's one of those really thin barrels.

Cool. I was wondering cause I`ve never seen grain like that on maple befor.

I've got one of Curly's but no pics of it. I had this one but sold it.

Very nice! :thumbsup:

Here's a NSW I put together this past year. It's really my first attempt to build a kit (I don't really think the CVA kits really count). I'm generally pleased with how it came out, but next time, I'll do better.

Interesting, I was able to shoot my NSW NW gun and Chiefs gun with no problems, I did do a little "fitting" when I re worked the stocks on them and my French Fusil with a Pied de vauche stock also works well for me but I did work it down to fit also or maybe I am just shaped strange.

Jeep: Your trade gun is just gorgeous. I can't see how you could do better. Nice horn, too.
Being out here in Oregon in what was originally HBC territory, a trade gun would be a pretty "correct" firearm to carry.

More pictures please!

It's locked up right now, but maybe I can get it out for an upcoming woodswalk, and take some pics "in the field"
