Trade Gun 1871 Barnett

tiriaq said:
There were percussion trade guns made after 1900, although they had been pretty much replaced by the Imperial single shot and double barrelled shotguns, as far as muzzleloaders were concerned. Flintlock guns had been phased out of regular stock a generation earlier. ML shotguns were being made for the HBC into the mid 1930s. Cartridge guns were standard trade items when they became available everywhere else.

did not know they were making muzzle loading trade guns that long neat bit of history. id guess they would have had to sell/trade them really cheaply into the 20's and 30's to actually get rid of them.
