SOLD Type G trade gun

[Tommy Bruce]

I have a .56 caliber type g trade gun for sale built by Rob Miller. It is stocked in beech like the originals. The .56 caliber oct. to round barrel is 41” long and was made my Ken Netting. It shoots a .530 patched round ball. Rob hand filed the flats. The RE Davis lock was reworked to look more like the originals and provides a shower of sparks.

All of the brass is hand cut from sheet brass and hand engraved like the originals, the trigger was hand forged and lock bolts are fire blued. Length of pull is 13 1/2” long and over all weight is a little less than 6 pounds.

Price is 1250.00 which includes priority shipping, insurance and a custom shipping box.

Original Type-G guns had a unique brass rear sight in a shallow dovetail, much further back than we are used to. I don't see one in your pics, does it not have one?
Also, is there a bit of wood missing just above the lock, roughly even with the cock? It looks it in the close up of the lock, but might be the camera angle and shadow.
I am slightly interested in the gun, could become more interested.....

I opted not to have the sight put on because it was of little use to 52 year old eyes LOL! There is a bit of worm damage on the stock if you look close, this was one of those areas. (otherwise it would be priced higher).

Thanks for your interest, please shoot me a pm or send me an e-mail to [email protected] if I can answer any more questions.

I was not aware that any of the trade guns were stocked in Beech.
Are you sure?

Well I've seen two original Carolina guns (type G), one at Prickett's Fort, the other at Colonial Williamsburg and both are stocked in beech. Of Sorts for Provincials, For Trade and Treaty, Early Indian Trade Guns 1625-1775 all mention beech stocked guns. Here's the Bumford gun at Willamsburg:

I made a mistake on the length of pull it's 13" not 13 1/2

Bump. How about 1150.00 shipped

You're killing me.
Somebody please buy this gun.
