FOR SALE N.W. Trade Gun

[markdwhite15]

Just received this great trade gun. Light weight, balance is good, and quality of build and parts is excellent. Rob is a great guy, we've attended the same rendezvous and shoots for the last 30 years, and share several good friends in the gun building world. You can trust him to deliver a superior trade gun. As I'm not able to drive right now, he just drove 100 miles round trip to deliver it to me. Can't beat that for customer service.

Do all trade guns have that dragon side plate? Can anyone tell me how/ why a dragon became popular? Seems very out of place.

 

[Tradbow]

I would assume the dragon was popular on a lot of medieval coat of arms that carried over to early guns. Just a guess though

Billy, art of the trade gun has all that, good book. Interesting, but dry read.

I'm sorry bud ... Was just reminiscing , was such a fun post with everyone . By the way .... Im working on a blanket gun now but your trade gun is after that . I got your barrel made and will be grinding flats and probably bedding it in the stock before I even finish the blanket gun so ....comin up soon !

I'd trade you even for my x wife

If his won't cover it, I'll chip in an old X of mine. Hear she is missing some teeth and only weighs 95 lbs., so she won't eat much. May have to secure any valuables and all prescription meds. Dang strippers.

 

[Rob M.]

Almost bought it for my girlfriend, because she has claimed the 20 gauge I bought from you a few guns back.

Oh ! She did ! Should have kept that 5k ! But her newest man sure is thankful ! LOL !!

Glad to hear it, cause i'm itchin' pretty bad to shoot the thing! Fortunately, I am working on some coyote loads for the Netting which will keep me occupied for awhile. Never shot a coyote with a flinter before, but I feel I must try. Maybe you could post the build process when you get around to my gun? That would awesome to follow along!
