New Trade Gun
« on: May 17, 2007, 06:56:58 AM »
Haven't been around GBO much for a while, been busy working on the Trade Gun.  Maple stock with hand rubbed finish, 42" barrel.  Gun weighs in at just 7 pounds.  Need to find time now to get out and do some shooting. 
 :)

I like Trade Guns as well.   This one's a .62 Caliber smoothbore.  Shot or round ball, one gun for all game.   :)

That's what mine was too!! If I had to make a choice tween all traditional type arms and shooting them, first pick would be a trade gun! Mine was a true "trade" gun since I traded a Hatfield for it and a coffee can full of .600" balls!! ;D That got me into trade gun matches at rendezvous and a real hoot of fun for about 10yrs, them was shinin times!! ;)
