Mike Davis did assembly without the hardware. I made all the brass fitting. Walnut stock, L&R tradegun lock, 36" 20 ga. barrel.
rawhide wrapped at wrist, and ramrod pipes. Added brass tacks and nails.  What ya think ??

I have a similar Gustomsky trade gun from the 70s.



Just noticed the photobucket album I posted the picture from has a complete English fowler build on it.

I just finished a trade Gun kit gun (Pedersoli), didn't use tacks on Mine. Lot of fun to shoot - still getting used to no back sight. Bob
