My Tullie Fusil DeChase Trade Gun
by Stambaugh
Ive caried a .62 cal.42" flint lock for the past 15 years.It has put a fair bit of meat over the fire. From squrrl.rabbit.phesent.goose.deer.and elk. Ive gon with this smoke pole becuse Its Not Easy! And you need to have a vary intamit understanding of youer wepon. I am capabal of firering a .600 rownd ball/#7 /#bb or bismoth. Keep her clean and spare flints(wich you can find in most of north amarica )you can with propper nollig even make youer powder in the feild .If youer in the bush for a extended periad of time this is a handy opsion over a cartrig wepon. Unless you go into the woods with a reloding press and powder primers and all the rest of the hevy and clombersom ####. All you need for a smooth bore is powder horn FF powder/a small priming horn/shot pouch/patch material/and o ya BALLS! All in a handy dandy hunting bag. Dont forget youer patch knife!
