Accurate Michigan ML?

[chad1043]

Hi guys,
just wondering what gun would be an accurately used Muzzleloader from Michigan? Would it be a Northwest rifle?

I found this on Sitting Fox's website.

It looks like a juiced up GPR to me.

Wondering what the guys used back in the day...

There is a lot of overlap, but knowing the time frame would help narrow this down for someone who has done the research on this.

I guess I'd like an overview. Maybe give me the rifle and the year range.

What is commonly known as the Northwest Trade Gun was actually known as a "Mackinaw"or "Mackinac" gun due to the LARGE number of them disributed from fort Mackiniac,"back in the day".

Michigan guns had about the same look as Ohio type gun's,and althogh I am by NO means an expert,the original Michigan gun's I've seen all could be typified with Ohio half stock's with a slight Fish Belly to them.

The gun on sitting Fox's site also had 2 cheek pieces on them,what Ray said was a "michigan" feature.

Pathfinder or anyone... Would it have steel or brass?

Mostly brass.
