I'm going to make this 24 bore fuzzee' an indian gun. Have never made one.  It belongs to a Huron(Wayndote) indian either working for the french or on his own in the great lakes area about 1725-45 or so.  Brass tacks on forearm, Iroquois cross on rt. butt stock, "Au Roi" (for the King) ahead of it. bone turtle on left butt behind where you mount the gun.  Short barrel 26" for easy carry on canoe trips.  Sorta HC I think, anyway that's what it is...Tom

Look's great!(for a garage gun! LOL) the ONLY thing I would do different is forget the turtle on the off side butt stock. Cheek rest or nuttin',IMHO.
