New favorite toy

[thatoneguy82]

New favorite piece, finished it saturday morning. 30in 28g based on archaeological finds from Ft Frederica, dating to the mid/late 1730s. I made it appear to have been shortened as a result of a burst muzzle. Shot it at a woods walk yesterday, fired 23 shots, never knapped a flint the whole time.

That's a fine looking weapon. Out of curiosity, why did you want it to look shortened like it'd suffered a burst barrel? That is not a criticism, just wondering if its an idea you had yourself or if it was based on some event, historical weapon, myth, etc.

That would be considered a type G trade gun, yes? Nice unit. :hatsoff:

I like it, nicely done sir!

I like it, though a longer barrel would be better IMHO. 30 inches is kinda short.
