Building the Northwest Trade Gun
Wanna build a Trade Gun?
The North House Folk School gives you that chance with a 10-day gun making class beginning March 18th, 2013.
Duluth, MN, gun maker Brent Gurtek will instruct students on building an authentic example of this historic weapon, largely with hand tools, in the manner of an old-time gun shop.
These smooth bore trade guns are as functional today as they were in 1790. Lightweight, sturdy, and versatile for bird, rabbit, bear or deer.
