Our Northwest Trade Musket plans are illustrated in this full size plan drawing. Modeled after an original gun marked Barnett - 1816, this is an earlier, more graceful Trade Gun than most other brands of Trade Gun replicas made today.
The 2" wide buttplate, large bow triggerguard, and tapered octagon and round barrel are unique to the Northwest gun. We stock all the parts you need for this project, and it is one of the easiest we offer. This newly updated plan drawing includes helpful assembly instructions for the novice builder.
Our correct replica North West Trade Gun, built from our best parts by Forrest Grilley is on display in our shop.
